What about the dodgy bids though, how do they stop that?? It’ll just happen again won’t it?

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.

This is going to happen until the foreseeable future. Why, I will never know.

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.

It’s funny how a little patch can make an ordinary run of the mill player issue guernsey worth so much.
Match worn Grand Final guernsey is a piece of history, player issue Grand Final guernsey is just a guernsey with a sticker on it.

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.

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.
Ohre!!

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.

Love the "earn your wings" concept

Apparently some of the Gala Auction jumpers have started shipping today. A mate spoke to the club today who indicated some have been posted.

Journo getting a pay cheque off my hard work of re-watching the GF a million times... typical
Just what we need - more advertisement of the auction for fake bidders to jump on. Great!

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

Wouldn't be surprised to see a WAFL side use the yellow wings with blue shorts.

Eagles just announced they will be fielding a standalone WAFL side next year
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
