His post was regarding an info-bearing tweet from last year. He wasn't implying that the orange tipped socks were only introduced last year

Did Judd and Guthrie actually swap jumpers after the game?

In the post match stuff, they revealed that as a kid, Judd was Guthrie's favourite player. He asked Judd if they could swap guerneys and Judd was more than happy to

That's incredibly odd. Why didn't he just ask him for an autograph at a stoppage?
Would players have ever swapped jumpers after a home and away game before?

I haven't see it happen in a while but I remember it happening a few times in the last 10 or so years.

Judd is a pretty good guy, he took the time to take a photo with me back in 2005 at Melbourne Airport even though he was running late for his plane.
Have the signed photo hanging up.

Lemme guess, He missed his flight; making him hate you, and to an extension all WC fans. He then realized the annoyance of continually flying all over the place, and it then dawned on him how much easier it would be to play in Melbourne regularly. This ultimately forced his hand, which ended in him leaving for Carlton?Judd is a pretty good guy, he took the time to take a photo with me back in 2005 at Melbourne Airport even though he was running late for his plane.

So basically, you're the reason he left West Coast?

I can definitely remember, think it was Judd, taking the GPS out of the jumper before handing it over.

That just looks wrong
i couldn't find any of Archer in Hirds jumper, and i think that's a good thing.

I'll give you that.We won the trade so you should be thanking me.
Do you reckon he kept it?
who, Arch?
from what i've seen of him, he wouldn't be much of a jumper collector barring ones special to him (grand final, games record, etc)

From the Herald Sun
GLENN Archer is furious at suggestions he was being disrespectful to James Hird by not wearing the Essendon champion's jumper from the ground after Friday night's match at Telstra Dome.
The two veterans exchanged jumpers after the Kangaroos-Essendon game because it represents the last time the two will probably play against each other.
After the swap, Hird pulled on Archer's jumper, while Archer threw Hird's over his shoulder.
"People are saying that I was disrespectful to Hirdy for not wearing his jumper off the ground. Those people need to go and get a life," Archer said.
"That really annoyed me. I regard myself as a very fortunate bloke to have James Hird's jumper. The next day I saw photos of Hirdy wearing my jumper. I didn't know he'd actually put it on.
"It got me thinking that I should have put his on."
Archer rang Hird on Saturday to assure him he was not being disrespectful.
"He just wanted to talk about it," Hird said.
"He didn't want it to be seen as disrespectful.
"I thought it was good that he rang, and it's disappointing if people have taken it the wrong way.
"He probably couldn't get mine on, anyway. He's a bit bigger than I am."
Archer confirmed the idea to swap jumpers was Hird's, but that the furore caused by not putting it on would probably stop him from doing it again.
"We were seeking each other out to shake hands and, as we did so, he said, 'Would you like to swap jumpers?' " he said.
"I said, 'I'd bloody love to'. I thought it was a fantastic idea.
"Everything then happened pretty quick. I put it over my shoulder and Ricky Olarenshaw (Channel 7) came over to interview me straight away.
"I wasn't sure what to do . . . what the protocol was . . . so I pulled a jacket on and walked off. Now, I don't know if I'd do it again. I suppose it depends on the opposition player. Robert Harvey, Bucks . . . there are a few great players getting close to retirement.
"If I did do it again, maybe I'd do it in the rooms."
Archer says the jumper is now headed for his pool room wall. "Frame it and hang it . . . one of my prized possessions," he said.
"My wife was going to wash it and I said, 'Hey, don't wash it'. It's got some dirt on the front. You don't wash it.
"I'll just catch up with Hirdy in the next few days and get him to sign it."

Three of West Coast's players were wearing lime green. Very strange round.
GWS in a very strong position. The only team that can knock them from 3rd is Sydney, and they're playing Hawthornso that may or may not happen
