Glad they are resolving the issue, but overall it's not the greatest outcome.

Correcting the auction and it's details is a good thing, but players only wearing one on the day is a lost opportunity.

The club would have 100% known which were PI only and which ones had been match worn (if even for 1 quarter). Don't see why they wouldn't advertise them initially as PI (well I do $$) regardless PI jumpers will go for a lot. West Coast have never had any issues attracting a premium for any rare or "one off" jumpers.

I’m just waiting on that ScoMo GF jumper to go up - put it up next to my photo of Sean Connery signed by Roger Moore.

$1,000 reserves on Grand Final spare player issues. LOL.

EDIT: Matchworn - Lecras, Hurn, Lycett, Rioli.

the absolute cheek of it.

Whats with the concept art? Old school HJS logo on the back. Looks like a mid to late 2000s jumper.

Same as appeared on the cover of The West before the finals but.

Sorry changing the subject here, just realised we may/will have our own WAFL side next year. My question is how similar guernsey would we have ? Would the guernsey be slightly different with a sponsor located on the front ?

Great question. I guess we wait and see.

I recall a few years back a poster suggesting that if we get a standalone team, they shouldn't wear the wings guernsey, so that when they get picked in the seniors, they have "earned their wings". Good suggestion, whoever that was.

That would be such an amazing concept ! It creates a culture ! And it becomes sentimental. Maybe we would see something similar to our training guernseys if this is the case it also allows our sponsors a clear canvas without having to modify the guernsey.

Agree, should be different from the wings. Adelaide, Collingwood and I'm sure a few other reserves teams differentiate their jumper from the seniors. Definitely creates a sense of achievement and provides something to work towards whilst in the 2s.

West Coast could hardly do wrong during its successful 2018 campaign but the club's auction of official Grand Final guernseys of its 22 match-day players hit a major snag on Monday after it was discovered most players didn't wear the items up for bidding.

Most players wear two guernseys during the match and swap at half-time, but one eagle-eyed bidder noticed Elliot Yeo wore the same one either side of the main break and questioned exactly what jumper was up for auction.

Your screenshots are also included in the article, upthecoasters.

Actually pretty neutral

Technically Adelaide are not allowed to wear hoops in the SANFL but it does also mean they "earn the hoops" with a callup.

Qusetion. Do the coaches always get 2 medals?? I thought since the introduction of the jock Mchale medal, that the coaches don'e get the same medal as the players do?? I only recall seeing photos of simmo on the dias with the JM medal, so when did he get this one??

Next mystery. There's another photo like this one too, but it's clearly a table with multiple retail home guernseys, with the GF patch pressed on, and they're all signing them. Where will these ones end up?? The memorabilia pieces "seem" to have the HJs logos on them, although all the pics I've seen of them are just mock ups so far. Surely they haven't stuck the GF patch onto SGIO sponsored home retail guernseys for the premiership frame?? That seems like a massive oversight if true. Or maybe they think nobody except us jumper nerds would notice?? I honestly wouldn't buy one for this exact reason, it's not even technically a replica of the premiership guernsey, it's completely wrong!! Am I too outraged over this?

I think they don't even notice the difference (or the issue) to be honest...

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they did that so they can't be passed off as anything more than memorabilia - Schmo got one that was also a home retail. Hopefully they are just giveaways and prizes for sponsors, community etc

The team store website shows both a home and an away used in the mock up of the premiership frame though so not out of the realm of possibility that they may come as a home with a GF patch.

Those premiership frames are a limited edition of 1,000 - Would they even have the legit GF patches given there are 1,000? I thought they were limited in how many they could get for memorabilia? Not only that would they even make the players sign 1,000 of them on the day of the GF as per the pic?

If I paid $1,995 for one and it was a home or a non legit GF patch I would be absolutely filthy lol most normal people wouldn't notice though
