this is a a big overstatement, the Crows drafted 4 interstate players in the 2000s who all played 245+ games and retired at the club (Douglas, Mackay, Sloane, Tex)
I'm about to have a rant here, call me out if I'm wrong but I don't see the point of an Anzac 'week' jumper, I think they are tacky and often disingenuous. Over the last few years, the idea of an ANZAC day jumper has run through the AFL with Collingwood, Essendon, Geelong, Gold Coast, Hawthorn...
The one thing that has confused me this season is for the first time in a few years we don't actually have any small forwards:
Ben Keays: puts on pressure, has high work rates, is good defensively, but is probably a midfielder (116 Games, 61 Goals)
Sam Berry: not a forward no matter how many...
After the NRL decided to neglect the Rugby heartland in Papua New Guinea, the AFL decided that the former Australian colony was the perfect place for the 20th AFL License. There was a twist, the team was not solely based in Port Moresby and would play 8 of its 11 home games in Darwin, Alice...
Brodie Smith needs a spell, but they aren't going to drop him, a club great going into game 249/250 (I'm not sure which one it is), Sam Berry was average, and Rory Sloane would have been better. They need to decide if they are playing Mark Keane as a key back, and if not he needs to go too...
The year is 1989, and the debt-riddled St Kilda Saints, are forced to relocate across the Tasman to New Zealand. Trading their white for a New Zealand Silver, the Saints wore a Guernsey inspired by the jumper they wore throughout the first half of the 20th century, instead using black as the...
Playing list has been announced, no team sheets yet:
Not Playing:
Injuries; Harry Schoenberg (Achilles), Nick Murray (Knee), Jordon Butts + Wayne Milera (Hamstring), Rory Sloane (Eye), and Jake Soligo (Ankle) in addition Darcy Fogarty is being rested due to quad soreness but will play against...
Why not as a full-time home Guernsey? Except for when Port play Collingwood once every two years at home, why should the fact that they wear the same colours as a team playing against a different opponent matter?
After nearly 10 years of infighting, the VFL and SANFL finalise the first South Australian Licence in a newly renamed AFL, after many deliberations and discussions about an SANFL composite side joining the AFL an eleventh-hour push by the most successful top-level team in Australian football...
Thank you very much, all four designs this week were very strong.
My choice for Week 7 is: Port Adelaide crows join the AFL - 1991
With all the Prison Bar talk going on at the moment there is no time like the present.
This has Port Power vibes around it, if you don't know what to name a team name it after an intangible thing, that its definition can be changed later, similarly to how Power means strength instead of electricity now
The late nineties and early noughties were an interesting time in Australian football, the invention of printed guernseys made old woolen and canvas uniforms old and obsolete, and because of how much easier and faster it was to make guernseys, the clubs experimented with some famous and more...
I am wary to post this because I'm fairly certain there is already multiple pages of Prison Bar debates on this thread, but during my SANFL portfolio I created an "alternative" Wharf Pylons jumper for Port to wear, the blue represents the Port River, and the water at Port Adelaide, the WP are...
