Round 20: The Green is back for Retro Round

[Gekko71]

Also I'm pretty sure the last time we wore the green was one of our most dockery moments in history. Round 22 1997.

We needed to beat the bottom of the ladder Melbourne Demons to make the finals for the first time in our history. Of course we had an injury crisis at the time, and of course we got smashed by 10 goals. Classic.

I remember our second ever win in that jumper was against Geelong, and we kicked something like 9 goals 22 points for the entire game.

In the third quarter, Winston Abraham (I think) had just won the ball for the umpteenth time across half back... And clear as day - one of the commentators then piped-up, saying "My God... If they had a forward line, they'd be dangerous."

26 years later... still the same bloody problem.

You gotta laugh right? Either that or take up drinking heavily

As frustrating as that was I also remember I had an attitude of 'shrug... oh well... clearly we're going continue our trajectory and storm into the finals next year and every year thereafter'.

Sigh.

THE GREEN KIT IS SO SEXY.

 

[freo1997]

Some sizes already sold out

How can they sell out of large within hours!

Gonna have to wait for a restock

Hopefully shows the club its popular and we'd like to see it more often.

Can we have two clash jumpers?

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

I want them to release some retro style beanies and scarves. Not a fan of wearing guernseys as a lass, too much squashing of boobies.

the club clearly listens to you, they’ve released retro beanies and scarves as well.

YESSSS day made!!! Pre ordered both!!

 

[freo1997]

Can someone start a petition to have the Green and Purple as our clash for 2022 and beyond.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Did I see that they were selling the OG green giant longies online recently?

 

[heypenny]

Oh God, they're now selling a long sleeve version of the 1995 wool version with the original AFL and Hard Yakka logo. $250 is a lot without knowing how it will fit but I've been waiting for this years. Just hope wifey doesn't see how much I'm spending on this.

 

[Kapow!!!]

I hated this jumper when we wore it (what was our winning record in this, like 10%?) but it's great that it will be used again as an important part of club history.

Surely we have to have a better winning percentage in that one than we did in the 3D anchor...

Just had a look. Glorious. Hide the bank statements!

 

[Purple Jesus]

Actually giddy.

You mean there are 4XLs? I'm in with a chance

As long as you're wearing a bra and don't expect anyone to tackle you then the bigger ones are better anyway.

Nahhhh, in Brendan Krummell and Jamie Merrillo...

 

[MadMundy]

The one time I'd actually like to have enough to afford it.....

 

[Ge3ks]

Long sleeve available now. Perhaps a player with the guns to fill out those sleeves would have been better.
