Chat about this round's games here. I thought tonight's Saints v Dogs was a prime example of needlessly introducing white to a kit where it doesn't have any. The Dogs in all blue would have made for a much nicer look. While the match-up wasn't a clash, it wasn't necessarily a contrast either.

Bucks is selling off about 200 items worth of memorabilia via Leskis. There are a heap of phenomenal guernseys and apparel in the collection. These auction sites often don't last long, so I thought I'd preserve a few of the rarer items here. NTFL 1992 trainer NTFL 1992 rep 1992 SANFL GF...

Cats in the retro kit tonight. Almost looks like a silver sheen. I get what they are trying to do, but paired with the OMO white of the shorts, it just looks a bit weird

Delayed thread is delayed, sorry crew. For what it’s worth I thought tonight’s game wasn’t the easiest on the eye. Lots of shared red and white.

Has anyone else on here read Colin Carter’s recently published book centred around reclaiming the period between 1870 and 1896? I never used to place much credence in his arguments for modifying the premiership tally (my view was generally that the VFL was a separate, breakaway competition to...

Sorry for asking this so late in the piece but I thought it best to gauge the opinions of the board given we’ve had a suggestion or two for an alternate “style” this year. I am personally happy to keep it status quo but would entertain option 2. I think option 3 is a bit odd (what becomes the...

‘Awesome outcome’: White shorts ditched for AFLW players to cut period stress A sensible outcome given the worldwide push for less mandatory white-coloured sporting attire given sensitivities around women's menstrual cycles etc. I think this actually could be the catalyst for less white shorts...

Was digging around some old articles on Trove and found this pretty interesting revelation from August 1949. It puts to bed the theory that 'anti-clashers' like to perpetuate, which is that nobody had a problem with telling Collingwood and North apart for a hundred years and clash jumpers are...

Evening, team. I've been going back through the annals of pre-season matches looking at crowds and noticing that there a few that remain TBC via all the usual places (Wiki, Austadiums, and Australian Football / Hard Ball Get where applicable). I think it'd be a great idea if we banded together...

Hello all, we're back again for another pre-season series. Will we see any surprises this year? Tune in. Fixture below (sorry for the Fox Footy guff). Thursday March 4 Carlton v St Kilda at Marvel Stadium, 7.10pm (live on Fox Footy from 6.30pm) Friday March 5 Collingwood v Richmond at Marvel...

Thought I may as well start up this thread as we're approaching that time of year where we start hearing about contract news and the like. Myself and Red Crow will update the OP with confirmed changes as they come across; rumours can go in the thread itself. ************** Changes for 2021...

I'm putting together a few video essays on my YouTube channel as a bit of a passion project. Would love to see what you guys think of this first one :)

I didn't know where to post this but I was pretty impressed that I could sit through a 53-min video without ever having watched this guy's content before. He's big (150k+ subs) yet only 4% of his audience is from Australia, so it's interesting the way he explains and highlights the intricacies...

What do we reckon, historians? Any glaring omissions or surprise picks that caught your eye? More info here, which includes selection criteria and "squad members" that just missed the cut.

Would anyone be interested in pooling together for a joint BF account for Newspapers.com? Specifically the Fairfax archive? I was having a play around with a free trial last night and it seems fairly nifty, particularly in regards to the post-1954 stuff. Obviously we have the free Google News...

Details are scant at this stage despite the release coming on 22 March. Appears to be PS4 only. (EDIT: It's multiplat but there are no Xbox One listings online) My expectations are low but we haven't had a console horse racing game since Melbourne Cup Challenge in 2006 so it should be a bit of...

Don’t know if there are many others on here who, like myself, have YouTube channels dedicated to the preservation of VFL/AFL history (uploading old games/docos etc.) but today I’ve received emails re: copyright claims by the AFL on probably 30+ videos, many of which have been on my channel for...

With the AFLW Draft today we've seen the reveal of a number of new designs for 2019. Share stories and information in this thread. Any anti-AFLW posts will be swiftly dealt with. We had a similar thread last year and it went smoothly so I don't anticipate any trouble but this is just a...

I swear I’ve seen the mock-up of this in a thread a couple of months ago, alas, I cannot find it. The official release was on Twitter tonight. Some really nice shades of red and blue. Shame about the names but they are almost inevitable in the last decade.

I've heard mention of this being collated from time to time and I believe the data is out there - I think the Age published behinds back to about 1930 - but I'm not sure where it's at. I'd like to help gather data, but don't want to step on anyone's toes if they're already working on it. The...

With the talk around the band's most latest release and them having made some of the most important and seminal music in my lifetime, I thought it time for me to have a crack at one of these countdowns. I probably haven't ordered it to an exact science, it's obviously my opinion mixed in with...

Will we ever see newspapers on Trove (other than the Canberra Times) from a later date than this in the foreseeable future? If there are any copyright or law experts on here I'd love you to join the conversation. Why did Google get access to The Age right up until the end of 1989? And if that's...

all JLT chat in here. Thanks SammoEll for kicking off the thread.
