Hm.. I dont know. I have a kid's size 10 coz i'm a girl and i'm really small but you would probably do well to contact the place you intend to purchase from to get sizing information.

I'm about 5kg heavier and bought a 2XL premiership Guernsey, the biggest they did.
The bastard is way too small.
Best to go in and try them on to avoid disappointment.

I'm not sure the problem lies with the guernsey :D
But seriously, trying them on might be just a tad difficult unless there are AFL stores in Canada. Best option might be to just ask for the dimensions of the jumpers and then pick from there.

Tip to remember when buying a guernsey is that you're likely to wear it over clothes so go a size or two bigger to what you normally wear. Ie. I normally wear an XL but I bought an XXXL given I wear a tshirt underneath it.

Very true.
As Jarryd_S said..if in doubt go bigger.

While we're on the topic of perfect fits, another tip, one for those of muscular or slim builds and who like to show off: don't get a guernsey too big if you intend to wear a fitting jacket over it coz it will bunch up if it's too big and look untidy. Since it's probably going to cost you in excess of $70, it's worth getting a fit that's just right.
Yeah exactly I want it to be perfect and I can't try them on one because yes there is no stores that sell them in Canada! it's an outrage (man do I want AFL to grow here) I'll try a XL I guess it should be alright then thanks for the help

What's your chest measurement?
I'm ~102cm, and find XLs a bit snug over a t-shirt but still quite wearable.

I'm around 6"1 and a L is quite a good fit. If I were to buy one right now though, I would go XL.

Most other jerseys I wear like Soccer and Basketball ones I get between 105 and 111 cm they fit alright, so I guess I should go with XXL then
