The Castrol font was iconic, and had been for years. Big fail.

If I was in charge at the Dockers, I'd commission this design to become the home guernsey from this moment on. Stunning.

Carlton was also in the five all season, but dropped out after the final round of 1977. Opposed to this, Fitzroy (last after nine rounds) only entered the five for the first time for the year after the final round of 1984.

Looking at AFL tables, it seems Collingwood achieved this unwanted record in 1947. Interestingly though, my copy of Every Game Ever Played from 1993, says Collingwood was in the four every round but Round 7. However, going by AFL Tables, at the end of Round 7, they were 4th with 16 pts and...

Collingwood has now won its last five matches by less than seven points each time. Has there ever been a sequence of wins by such narrow margins before?

Most of that 92% from the Eagles Rd.23 match against Footscray came well after the halfway mark of the last quarter, with their first goal coming with just SIX MINUTES to go in the match.

It's definitely mislabelled as 1970, as the VFL logo on Kelvin's jumper didn't come into existence until 1976, also the background is at the MCG, and there wasn't any Vic v SA SOO matches played at the MCG until 1989.

Wonder how this would have gone with full orange numbers, or at least an orange stroke around the white numbers.

Round 9, 1994, Footscray V West Coast at the Western Oval. Peter Matera's long sleeved Eagles guernsey had neither an AFL logo, or a rear Hungry Jacks sponsor.

As pointed out on Twitter, that’s now four of the last seven draws in the AFL that GWS has been involved in.

True, but if it helps the overall design for the indigenous guernsey, why not try something different? Adelaide doesn’t need to keep hoops in its guernsey to produce a great looking unique design.

For once I’d like to see the Suns in a guernsey without the GC oval in the middle, this would’ve been the perfect time to do so. A shame, and a wasted opportunity.

I found some images from old footy yearbooks of Geelong players (1988/1992) and while the numbers were certainly dark, it’s hard to tell if they were black or just a darker shade of blue being stitched on.

I've worked out what the teaser puzzle is. I shan't give it away.
