Sat next to him at a pre season practice game against Footscray 1996!Is that "Matt" on the left? Trying to think who it could be... Matty Francis?
Bob Rose was a good get, btw!
I have a jumper signed around the same era. I'm pretty sure the Matt is Matt Francis his autograph was big and clumsy on my jumper too. Small chance however it's Mal Michael might want to have a good look.I cannot recognise all of the autographs on my old jumper. Mostly 96/97 period.
These are what I can make out and remember:
Buckley
Bob Rose
S Russell
Patterson
S Rocca
B Kinnear

Yes, it pretty clearly matches the signature here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/COLLING...88ab7e97a:g:M7gAAMXQs6FRSWNl&autorefresh=trueI have a jumper signed around the same era.

Kevin Rose is probably the one in the curve of the 5. He was on the board and always around with Bob to sign autographs on these family days.
Tony Shaw is likely the Tony above Bob Rose.
Is it Andrew Schauble 12 in the top right corner?
I read something a day or so ago about him being in the Middle East (this was a few years back), and playing football there. Cameron Hotton (who played at reserves level for us, and is the brother of Trent) is/or was the region's football operations manager.I reckon you're right. Number matches.
I was curious about what happened to him post-footy and did a quick wiki search:
"He travelled overseas and spent 10 years as a Management consultant in Dubai and around the Middle East, particularly focusing on work around Leadership and Talent. He then returned to Australia having started BAT Logic, a Rowing equipment and consulting business which has seen significant success at Elite and Olympic level."
Actually, has anyone ever done a "where are they now?" thread? Could be fun.

Middle East development officer is a helluva job!
I can't decide if it would be great or terrible.
Actually, if the pay is good I'll go with great.
Middle East development in the UAE is very impressive.The Middle East is awful, but you'd get to enjoy a heap of boozy five star buffets.

Same with Israel.
Qatar as well.
Quite amazing when people get on with providing for their people and focus on education, building homes, some modern outlooks and health for citizens.
Put your jumper on and start supporting the club.Wow. Thanks for the responses. Has cleared a few up.
