Discussion Random Chat Megathread Mk II

[Prison bar Pete]

My wife was going through my late father-in-law's things yesterday and found this photo of him (back row, second from right, and his brother is holding the ball) in the Largs Bay Orphanage footy team in 1940 - not sure of colours, but prison bars represent!

For non-croweaters, Largs Bay is only a stone's throw from Port Adelaide.

I am in no way an expert, but judging from the shorts, the prison bars definitely aren't white. I'd imagine they'd be the same colours as the stripe on the socks (look at the guy in front of your father-in-law).

Based off of these photos, this Essendon guernsey helps us eliminate red bars. Could have been a light blue (dare I say a teal? ) or yellow, and then both for the socks?


Melbourne University:

Richmond:

All supposedly from the 1940s.

You'd think black or navy guernseys, due to the men in suits having the same colours.

Hopefully this sort of helps, but I'm far from knowledgable enough to give you an accurate analysis haha

Laughs in T.H.O.P.

It's weird how their subscription works. From memory, I had to cancel a yearly plan and straight up cancelling added hundreds of dollars to the cancellation fee but if you switched plans to a cheap one (Photography I believe) then cancel that one, it's free

 

[memes_about_carlton]

Don't really know where to post this so I'm posting it here.

I've made a graphic of Carlton's lineup in the form of FIFA cards style.



The ratings of each card is lossely based off AFL 23 player ratings. (Note that all the special cards have higher ratings then their base cards)

Should I make any other teams? Any suggestions?

 

[Prison bar Pete]

I've always thought this would be a good idea (mind you, I'd also want the back shots and away/clash jumpers!). I'm not sure when they're coming out, but I imagine it's soon and that there'll be some promotion. Ask at your local post office if interested I guess.

AFAIK these have been out for a little bit. They’re pretty cool, hopefully the next version of them is more like what you suggested.

Just wanted to share something pretty cool I got for my birthday today, as a long term GWS fan I don't think I could've expected anything cooler! Kieran Briggs 2023 and 2024 VFL Player issues. These are also my first PI's and I never realised how much different they are to retails

Real talk guys, the wife is forcing me to go to a place called a "Gym", I am unsure how to pronounce it, but it's apparently to do with living longer.

I will go and report back - if I don't return, please fire an Ochre out of a t-shirt cannon on my behalf.

I believe it is pronounced Guy-mm. But not completely sure either. Also don't necessarily believe the whole living longer thing, I have heard that it is a deathtrap.

Oh! I think I know him, yeah the pronunciation is probably right just the spelling is off. I haven't been to Jim's place in a long while, tell him I said hello!

I'm back. I am now the proud owner of an Ab. Apparently if I water it every day and take it for walks, it will grow up to be a twin pack - just like a tamagotchi.

Hopefully it won't die like my tamagotchi ;(

Is there a resource on this forum for jock tags and collar tags? I can't seem to find anything. I'd specifically like a sekem collar tag from the 90's atm.
