Discussion Question and Answer Thread

Does anyone know if there is a place to access all the official club player portraits taken each season?

AFL Photos only has the odd one. Robert Scott, for example, season 2000 portait is there, others aren't.

Anybody have a copy of the Collingwood monogram? Many thanks if so

Based on this old version

Thanks! I ended up making my own from that exact same image

Was searching for former Adelaide player Ken McGregor's number. Found this piccy. What is this?

Came from this article so I can assume a reserves jumper, but, there weren't any AFL reserves teams in the SANFL back then?

Preseason game v Norwood. I think a fellow board member has one of these jumpers.

that would work quite well for a Clash guernsey

 

[Silent Alarm]

Wow, I have never ever seen that before. Damn.

 

[Storm20]

jroam82 can shed some more light on this.

Not really more than has been said.

It was a 2007 preseason game against Norwood where the jumpers were specifically made to be auctioned off following the game for the Crows Foundation.

How long has everyone been on here for?

Just also wondering, who were the former and founding Mods of the board?

TheDoctor11 and GG were the mods back then.

Yeah, I'm that guy. Unfortunately, the jumpers I designed at the ripe old age of 12 are a broken link now, but I can see my early posts:

I stuck around for a little while with quality posts like this:

Ive only just started desining gurnseys, i start by using Paint for the background colours and then add all of the details through Word

And then I went into the wilderness. But then I put five years under my belt, and now I'm back...

Is there anything more FJGD than this exchange?

Not a whole lot more. chibimatty, akkaps and Klim chimed in debating whether we had already worn a similar design, but that was as far as it went. I entered a 'Clash of the Jumpers' competition that had ended a month earlier, used the shapes tool on Word to make a couple of Coca-Cola Amatil jumpers, had a bit of a chat here and there and then left

10 year old me found FJGD thanks to some old shield style logos. Boxing Day that year I made an account and a little over a month later I turned 11. Have not changed usernames but changed teams from Collingwood to Port in 2015. Caused a mild shitstorm on here for a little bit.

 

[Sparkle]

- care to elaborate?

Got sick of Collingwood and didn’t like Buckley. Port seemed exciting with a fast attacking play style.
That aged well. Ken Hinkley/Port now the most boring coach/team to watch and Collingwood made a Grand Final, but gotta stick through the bad I suppose.

Come back to the Dark Side, we have the Swooping Magpie

You can come back to the Dark Side, we have the Swooping Magpie

Swooping Magpie = Fake Prison Bars
That’s probably why I like it

uhh are you sure? Pretty sure we wore Swooping Magpie back in 1896

Mero can back me up on that

You took the heat off of me back then for having a soft spot for the Crows.. So, thanks
