Like a nice cauliflower or minestrone, or if they are really sad a mac and cheese or lasagna, or even a curry

Little bit of a bump here, but found a very interesting uniform matchup in the 2007 VFL Preliminary Final between Coburg vs Williamstown. Coburg would've been one of the first clubs in the VFL to have a regularly worn clash jumper, whereas Williamstown probably didn't have one until nearly a decade after this picture (likely a little bit sooner than that). As such, Coburg who were the "home" team (despite the neutral venue of North Port Oval) had to wear their clash jumper with home shorts against Williamstown in their home jumper and white shorts. Coburg went on to win the game and played Geelong in the Grand Final but unfortunately went down to Geelong who completed the AFL/VFL double that year, while if Coburg won they would've won the VFL Seniors/Reserves double.
This was the final year of Williamstown's alignment with Collingwood, while Coburg were midway through the Richmond alignment era. While scrolling the photos of the game on Getty Images I've spotted a few players who would go on to be pretty established players as well as some who were in the twilight on their careers. Some of the more notable ones would be Jack Riewoldt, Brodie Holland, Paul Licuria, Ben Reid, Alan Toovey, Matt White, and of course the two in the picture I've attached - Jay Schulz and Simon Prestigiacomo.

Someone sent me this image from the 150 Years of Football by the Herald Sun, there's a picture of Jason McCartney with 89 on his jumper. When was this worn? Have I missed out on something here?

89 Aussies died in the Bali Bombing that he was caught up in. This is what I could find in regards to him wearing the number in some capacity, but this doesn’t fit the description of the image.

The AFL will allow the Kangaroos' Jason McCartney to wear the number "89" in his comeback game.

I'm going to back up your assumption, the stripe underneath the 8 shouldn't be changing direction like that89 Aussies died in the Bali Bombing that he was caught up in. This is what I could find in regards to him wearing the number in some capacity, but this doesn’t fit the description of the image.
Given he’s wearing short sleeves and doesn’t look like he has any sort of burn marks I’m going to guess that image is photoshopped. The 89 also doesn’t look to be warped by any sort of fold in the material, nor does it look reflective like a heat pressed patch probably would, which adds to my assumption.

I can't load a photo being on my phone but watching some classic 95 games... Ben Allan in R16 1995 v Richmond doesn't have a back sponsor? Looks really weird, particularly for a club captain.
