Discussion Strange or Interesting AFL Photos

Being a local and a frequent user of public transport you observe these changes over the years that result in knowledge like this.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Pretty sure ol Dyl was being sarcastic there aye. Trainspotting is the predominant and cliché weird interest.

I almost always watch a freight train go by if im on a train.

O-Bahn or gtfo.

 

[Nedland]

I’m a train driver and we call train nerds ‘gunzels’ if you were after a noun.

Half time “Auskick” game in London 2006 Port Adelaide vs Geelong. Presumably local English kids in Geelong VFL jumpers.

Well, no. It's dead. Of course it isn't.

Cleaning up some old boxes today, found this picture of Mark Bairstow in a scrapbook

nothing like bit of a cuddle in a grandy!
I initially assumed it was Billy, but on closer inspection think it's Stoneham, I'm sure someone will confirm or correct me

I can confirm that it is Barry Stoneham. Most noticeable through the hair and the shape of his head

thanks mate!, thought so (although it would be strange to have recognised him any other way, not like these days, every second bloke has tuffy stickers )

So I was cruising the web and I come across these truly strange anomalies.

Delving deeper I find it was from a charity/tribute game played in 2011 in memory of the late Chris Mainwaring. Both the WC and Collingwood teams included a handful of past players such as Anthony Rocca and Scott Burns for Collingwood as well as John Worsfold is the only one I can recognise for the Owls. There was also children by the looks of things.

Okay, let's dissect the jumpers:

Interesting jumper for WC, no clue why they are Owls but the Dynamo text gives me life.

As for the Collingwood team, It looks like the normal jumper with the Barcode magpie slapped onto it. Instant whale status.

I remember stumbling across this game late one night on 7two. Pretty sure OWLS stood for “Older, Wiser, Larger, Slower. Or something similar. Mainey’s kids had a few runs in the game.

I thought this Bears logo from the 1991 Fosters Cup record was interesting, I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Love that font where it says Brisbane Bears

Love that font where it says Brisbane Bears

I took the liberty of running it through WhatTheFont! The closest match is called 'Regalo Heavy Oblique' with a customised 'A' that is a flipped version of the 'A' of 'Sentinel Bold Italic'

Fairly certain it's a default Windows font.

Don't follow enough La Liga to know which one is the more convincing fake, don't follow enough AFL to even know who those players are

I thought the left was Chris Judd with hair...
