No chance. As someone previously mentioned, the sponsors who advertise on the jumpers would be pissed off. Also the jumpers worn in a grand final will usually end up being auctioned off for club fundraisers or charity events; they're all accounted for and can't be given away to opposition players.

Correct. The snap with Lockett.
As for grand finals I can't remember anyone doing it after Daryl Baldock swapped with Des Tuddenham in 1966.
Probably that image we are familiar with is the reason they stopped?
If your going to hold the cup you should do it in your own jumper but can you imagine the jumper sponsors (probably rightly) going feral if this practice was still happening.
Who is this young woman? Molly Meldrum?
Great collingwood victory, that

the reason why St Kilda will take the field with all guernsey stapled to the player's body.
Bet they wish they had this moment back again

It was a good tradition of sportsmanship. I believe it gradually changed, especially in the '80s, probably to appease sponsors whose logos became prominent on jumpers.

That's disco Roach on the left in a Collingwood jumper. Not sure of the other 3.
It's because football used to be a game. If you lost (or won), it was a way of saying 'Good game - let's do it again' to your opponent.
Now it's a business. If you lose, you have failed.

Maybe that was the last time.
I now recall Stan Alves wearing a Collingwood jumper on the dias in 1977.
