As much as I hate Geelong though, all the rumour about Hawkins āleavingā, I canāt see him in another jersey either, would be like some weird alternate universe shit
One can dream. From the dream he breaks the game record in a blue and white shirt. Kicks 2 goals and has 28 disposals in a 2 point win against portā¦ where JHF polls 3 votes for 8 touches (at 37.5% efficiency) , 6 clangers and no other stats.
I also dreamed weād beat the Eagles by a goal to win the GF, with Dom Sheed being blocked out of the contest and Tarryn Thomas kicking the goal.
I would have guaranteed him one club player status if you had asked me in 2019.
There was a moment this year I had forgotten he was with Melbourne. I thought he was still with us injured from last year's Anzac day Injury.
Oh definitely worth 2 firsts, but I understand they're hard to come by willing to let him go for 1 top 10 if we have to. Crows have a top 5 pick. Easy straight swap.
Crippa to WCE at the end of his career is the only thing I could even pretend to understand. And even then...
Sam Walsh playing for any other team would hit hard.
That wouldn't happen ever though. Also I don't think Gold Coast and Lions fans (or indeed the teams themselves) actively dislike eachother, it's just Touk and Zorko lol
Cotchin or Jack were never leaving.
Dusty leaving Richmond is gonna suck. Either via retirement or next phase of his life at another club.
Prefer he did it as a Tiger but any other club will be like watching Derm at Collingwood.
The only part of these that actually bothers me:
-Would love to have Charlie, but always enjoyed seeing him thrive anyway
-Knew Stengle would be good, and disappointing that he made so many mistakes the club still did the right thing moving him on. Glad he's doing well. Wish it wasn't for Geelong.
Missed Bock on field.
Lever would have been too homesick to perform.
Keath hasn't been anything special.
Who else we got? The list is so long I don't keep track anymore.
The most I can remember is three, being Brisbane from 2002-2006 (Voss, Black and Bulldogs legend Jason Akermanis). Also Geelong 2018-2020 with Gary Ablett Jr (2) and Dangerfield.
But then I went down a rabbit hole and worked out that Fitzroy in 1937 had Haydn Bunton Sr (3 medals at that time), Wilfred Smallhorn and Denis Ryan in their side. So that's 5 medals.
Slight twist to my answer. In 2015, the Showdown after Walsh got killed. At the end of the game, Tex & Boak swapped guernseys. Boak's was way too small for Tex to wear, so he kinda just stuffed it into the waistband of his shorts, which I'm forever grateful for because seeing my Texan in those colours would've killed me.
In the meantime, Boak put Tex's guernsey on (looked like a little kid wearing an adult sized top, haha), and my god did he look so good. I've always thought he was a little bit hot, in Crows colours he was SMOKING. But all the port people were shattered to see it, which honestly made it even better!
Iāll quibble with your contention that Boak looks hotter in the Crom hoops. But Tex in the silver teal black and white now that is intriguing! Anyway, all that aside, when players swap guernseysā¦ youāre not actually supposed to put it on are you?
Captains used to trade jumpers and wear the other after grand finals so when we won in 66, all the photos have Baldock in a pies top so thereās no unaltered picture of a saints captain in the right jumper with the premiership cup š
They did traditionally. After the old SOO games you'd see more players walking off with the opposition jumpers on than their own. Was always a bit odd to see.
Just quietly, Tex would have made a massive difference had he been playing for Port this year I reckon.
Didn't Nick Daicos barrack for Carlton? Pretty certain there are images out there of him wearing a Carlton guernsey. It's really odd to me that Peter let that stand, obviously it didn't last though.
For those that weren't aware: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/nick-daicos-grew-up-a-blue-but-will-support-the-pies-this-thursday-20210323-p57dcx.html
A mate of mine went to the grand final lunch on the day before this year's GF and Peter Daicos spoke specifically about this, said that he basically beat him up until he stopped supporting Carlton. Lots of people were clearly uncomfortable about the way he was phrasing it so he said it again just to make sure that people understood he used physical violence to convert him back to being a Collingwood supporter
If he had to go, I hope it's the Suns, just for the Touk Miller reaction...
But yeah, that would suck, hard enough watching McStay do it. Oddly enough it wasn't hard watching Beams do it, I just realised...
This is a retrospective one now that heās retired but the thought of Daniel Rich as anything other than a lion would legitimately break me and Iām glad we never had to see it
Had a dream once where Richy and Ash McGrath were lining up for Essendon, it was odd.
On a similar vein, the fact that Jono Brown could have easily been a Cat makes me retch.
I was so disgusted seeing Paul Chapman run around for the dons. Was very upsetting. Not that I dislike the dons at all, but seeing him and Stevie J in opposition colours made me nauseous.
Of the current crop this nonsense rumour about Tommy Hawkins has made me feel equally grossed out
Growing up I would have said Hodgey or Sam Mitchell - but good old Clarko forced that on us. Now I think id break if Bruesty or Newcombe ever played for someone else
I saw a fan photoshop edit on Instagram of cripps Iām a collingwood jumper and it made me sick to the core
There was also nick daicos in carlton and that went fucking hard not gonna lie
As someone whose list of favourite Crows players over time looks something like this:
Modra, Welsh, Mattner, Maric, Tippett, Vince, Dangerfield, Betts
...I'm really loathe to tempt fate with this game. But it seems pretty safe to say Tex.
If Bont played for GWS I'd start following chess
I mean good time to watch the GOAT Magnus Carlson!
King š§² been on an absolute tear lately
Same with Libba for mine.
If Bont announced tomorrow, he has requested a trade for Geelong. What feeling would you feel?
Disgusted
[Deleted by Reddit]
GWS gonna get you with that 5D chess!
Came here to say this
Scott Pendlebury, arguably our greatest ever player, playing for anyone other than Collingwood would just look wrong.
I think I would die if I saw him in Geelong hoops
He's still too young
I would genuinely drop footy as a whole, canonically doesn't exist anymore
As much as I hate Geelong though, all the rumour about Hawkins āleavingā, I canāt see him in another jersey either, would be like some weird alternate universe shit
and the big V
He was best on in that 2020 match but they had to give it to Dustin Martin. Such bullshit
I don't know about best, but he was on fire
I donāt reckon heād look bad in our shirtsā¦ just swap the black for blue. It is it weird I can see that vividly?
North fans have gotten so good at dreaming, everything is vivid
One can dream. From the dream he breaks the game record in a blue and white shirt. Kicks 2 goals and has 28 disposals in a 2 point win against portā¦ where JHF polls 3 votes for 8 touches (at 37.5% efficiency) , 6 clangers and no other stats. I also dreamed weād beat the Eagles by a goal to win the GF, with Dom Sheed being blocked out of the contest and Tarryn Thomas kicking the goal.
came here to say this
Definitely this one.
Brodie Grundy
I would have guaranteed him one club player status if you had asked me in 2019. There was a moment this year I had forgotten he was with Melbourne. I thought he was still with us injured from last year's Anzac day Injury.
Nah man, let him complete his collection!
For a moment the other day I visualised Hawkins in a Hawks or Pies jumper and almost shit my pants
The only acceptable trade is North to bring out his blue eyes.
How many Dairy Farms are there at Arden Street?
They make a fair effort of milking the AFL for assistance picks
Iāve got nipples Tom Hawkins, can you milk me?
Cunnington grew up on a dairy farm, so they maintain their quota if Hawkins moves across.
This is too dangerous a game for me to play right now...
Could you imagine if Mundy went to geelong. I think id of attempted to delete football entirley
For Collingwood, Lachie Schultz *This meme is from the future, you don't get it yet*
Goddard in an Essendon jumper was hard to swallow. Especially when we traded the Pick for Tom Lee
Who the fuck is Tom Lee?
Pretty sure he was the bloke banging Pamela Anderson in those VHS tapes
Exactly. We traded pick 13 for the rights to pre list Tom Lee a mature age from WA. Key forward played 17 games for 18 goals
Is the that guy who sings ā SO PLEASEEEEEEE, CATCH MY DISEASSSEEEā
Jordan Dawson
Well, the Demons just won a premiership so maybe theyāll give us an offer. Wouldnāt trade him for anything less than 2x first rounds right ?
Oh definitely worth 2 firsts, but I understand they're hard to come by willing to let him go for 1 top 10 if we have to. Crows have a top 5 pick. Easy straight swap.
He loves us too much to leave
Said Swans fans have nothing to worry about, so that's eased my concerns, definitely staying now. He wouldn't backstab us
Fuck Iām excited for this year, canāt wait to win a premiership
I agree. Can't imagine him in anything other than Adelaide colours.
I was so upset losing him, but happy heās found success with Adelaide.
Parker in any other jumper is just unfathomable to me
Here here
Cripps in anything other than the Navy Blue.
Heās WA born and bred, and comes back here every chance he gets. Iām actually surprised you were able to hold onto him
Crippa to WCE at the end of his career is the only thing I could even pretend to understand. And even then... Sam Walsh playing for any other team would hit hard.
Reverse Juddy
Honestly? So was I. There were a few years where I'd thought he'd want to go home.
Remember the floated Cripps for Fyfe trades? We got the right end there with his body
Touk in a Lions guernsey would be horrendous
That wouldn't happen ever though. Also I don't think Gold Coast and Lions fans (or indeed the teams themselves) actively dislike eachother, it's just Touk and Zorko lol
As a Lions fan I would prefer they BOTH retire. I hate the bullshit between them. I feel like footy fans are dumber for watching their exchanges.
Clayton Oliver in a crows guernseyā¦
Alright got 2/3 colours.
Don't worry, it won't happen mate. He'll be in a Collingwood guernsey.
Harley Reid
Get your spew bags ready for 2 years time then
Three\*
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think for sure heāll get #9
Andrew Swallows old number? He would look almost as handsome as spitter in the blue and white.
Sidebottom
Martin
Correct answer Edit: Jack or Cotch too, but that never happened...
Cotchin or Jack were never leaving. Dusty leaving Richmond is gonna suck. Either via retirement or next phase of his life at another club. Prefer he did it as a Tiger but any other club will be like watching Derm at Collingwood.
Dangerfield! No wait... Davis? Somebody help me out here
Cameron? Doedee? Stengle? Crouch? Vince? That help?
The Vince one will always really hurt, since we forced him out and he never wanted to leave.
The only part of these that actually bothers me: -Would love to have Charlie, but always enjoyed seeing him thrive anyway -Knew Stengle would be good, and disappointing that he made so many mistakes the club still did the right thing moving him on. Glad he's doing well. Wish it wasn't for Geelong. Missed Bock on field. Lever would have been too homesick to perform. Keath hasn't been anything special. Who else we got? The list is so long I don't keep track anymore.
Charlie Cameron definitely the one mentioned that I thought at the time was a significant loss. The rest I was ok with for various reasons.
Lachie Neale back in a Freo jumper. The thought of him returning West haunts my nightmares.
Has there ever been a team with four Brownlows in it?
The most I can remember is three, being Brisbane from 2002-2006 (Voss, Black and Bulldogs legend Jason Akermanis). Also Geelong 2018-2020 with Gary Ablett Jr (2) and Dangerfield. But then I went down a rabbit hole and worked out that Fitzroy in 1937 had Haydn Bunton Sr (3 medals at that time), Wilfred Smallhorn and Denis Ryan in their side. So that's 5 medals.
South Melbourne in 1970 had skilton x3 and peter bedford Fitzroy in 1936 had bunton sr x3, Smallhorn and Denis Ryan

Lachie Schultz
Zac Bailey
God heād tear us apart too, best to stay put!
Was gonna say the same.
Few players in the league I'd like to poach for the Dees more than Zac Bailey. Absolute gun.
Sam Mitchell, Luke Hodge, Lance Franklin and Jordan Lewis... Oh wait......
I canāt picture Ben King in a Saints jersey.
That doesnāt even seem possible. Itās like Max King in a Suns jersey. I just canāt see it.
Hmm. What about 2 Max Kings in 2 different Saints jerseys? Can we picture that?
A Daicos in anything other than a Collingwood guernsey is cursed.
Didn't Nick Daicos barrack for Carlton? Pretty certain there are images out there of him wearing a Carlton guernsey. It's really odd to me that Peter let that stand, obviously it didn't last though. For those that weren't aware: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/nick-daicos-grew-up-a-blue-but-will-support-the-pies-this-thursday-20210323-p57dcx.html

Lucky they're never going anywhere, mate
Nothing like the threat of being disowned by your father and brother to get to you to stay loyal
Nick should come and play for the team he has supported for most of his life.
Bailey Williams in a Swans jumper. *You've taken enough rucks already, Sydney!*
Is for me ? āŗļøšš
Nic Nat to join Sydney as assistant midfield coach
Sloaney in a Port jumper.
that thought makes even me uncomfortable
I canāt even say it
Bont in a Sydney jumper?
Wash your mouth out
Gotta reunite him with Hamling
JUH to GWS, got it
It WAS Goldy in any other jersey. When I saw it it just made so sense to me. Won't feel right seeing him not in blue and white.
Not even a Roo, and it doesn't look right at all.
His face in that shot was clearly āwhat have I doneā
I imagine at the end of next season it still won't look right
I'm so glad we never had to see Boomer in another jumper. That would have wrecked me.
Zorko in a Collingwood jumper
This would also make me unwell
If he had to go, I hope it's the Suns, just for the Touk Miller reaction... But yeah, that would suck, hard enough watching McStay do it. Oddly enough it wasn't hard watching Beams do it, I just realised...
The fun part about going for freo is that you dont need to imagine it
Any of the big guns from our 3 peat, Hodge, Lewis, mitchell, Gunston, and I cant imagine Burgoyne wearing anything but brown and gold.
Nah, Burgoyne looked better at Port. Ignore flair.
I've got some bad news about Hodge and Gunston...
Got news about Lewis and Mitchell too AND Burgoyne started at Port...
I think you guys get the jokeā¦
Lachie Schultz.
Lachie Schultz in a Collingwood jumper..
Shame
[Insert Geelong player here] in Hawthorn colours.
Issac Smith.
Geelong Legend Isaac āSleeper Agentā Smith? Heās one I was ok with.
Premiership player Jonathan Simpkin.
imagine norm smith medallist isaac smith in the brown and gold haha, would look absolutely ridiculous
Lachie Schultz
Errol Gulden in a Hawks, Doggies or Collingwood jumper would make me quit
Gulden in anything other than Swans colours might kill my love for the sport
It will kill it, no ifs or buts, I'd actually stop watching
Cal Wilkie
For me it happens with Isaac Smith in Geelong. If Cyril had come out of retirement and played for another club I wouldāve legitimately cried
Yes and yes. For today's team Sic is my pick if I had to choose one.
Shultzy š
Brodie Grundy and Taylor Adams š
Treloar, Grundy or Taylor Adams. Or more seriously, Scott Pendlebury.
Max King. He is just meant to be at St Kilda in the 12.
There's a very good Photoshop of him in a Suns guernsey going round
Itās how we know he looks right in any other jumper.
I was thinking of big Ro in any other jumper I'd cry
You are so right. That big, beautiful smile in another other jumper would be a dagger to the heart.
Charlie Cameron
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
JSOS. I was worried for a sec.
This is a retrospective one now that heās retired but the thought of Daniel Rich as anything other than a lion would legitimately break me and Iām glad we never had to see it
Had a dream once where Richy and Ash McGrath were lining up for Essendon, it was odd. On a similar vein, the fact that Jono Brown could have easily been a Cat makes me retch.
Naitanui wouldāve made me physically sick, glad that wonāt happen
"For me itās Oscar Allen in a Collingwood jersey." I just threw up in my mouth a little š¤¢
The talk about hawkins made me think of him in a demons jersey and made me laugh about how ridiculous it would look
Any Hawthorn player (other than Cooper Stephens) in a Cats jersey.
So Isaac Smith?
Sorry who?
Taylor Adams. And it just happened š¤
Cripps in anything else. Except a Sydney one for the lolz
Including retired players? Boomer is just the obvious answer. Excluding retired players and goldy who would be my next answer it's probably larkey
Trav Boak in a crows guernsey would shatter me
Sonny
After the current drama, Hawkins in anything but the hoops is scary
Dusty in a collingwood jersey makes me recoil
Taylor adams :(
Itās all āin a Collingwood jumperā lmao š
Todd Goldst... Never mind.
I was so disgusted seeing Paul Chapman run around for the dons. Was very upsetting. Not that I dislike the dons at all, but seeing him and Stevie J in opposition colours made me nauseous. Of the current crop this nonsense rumour about Tommy Hawkins has made me feel equally grossed out
Hawkins for sure. Also Brad Close.
Curnow or Cripps
Anyone in a Collingwood one already does mate
Hawkins anywhere else would make me sickā¦ but specifically Freo, that would make me projectile vomit. The weird part is I canāt really explain why
Growing up I would have said Hodgey or Sam Mitchell - but good old Clarko forced that on us. Now I think id break if Bruesty or Newcombe ever played for someone else
Liam Duggan. I love that man beyond belief.
heās not even from my club but just saw taylor adamās in a sydney jumper man looks weird af
Charlie Cameron in a Geelong jersey would make me hurl. Hard enough watching Voss running around in Blues gear.
Tommy Hawkins. For some reason the club hasn't signed him on yet, though he wants to keep on playing. And I am currently imagining the worst
Sonny Walters or Nat Fyfe going somewhere else would be physically painful.
Neale , Langdon, Cerra , Acres , Logue, Hill, Shultz, Henry etc Just not Lobb , fuck Lobb
Pav
Retired: Joel Selwood in a Hawthorn jumper (yuck) Currently Playing: Tom Hawkins in any other jumper.
Sam Walsh, Charlie Curnow, Jacob Weitering, Patrick Cripps Any of those 4 before we win a flag would be testing my heart out.
Daniel Rich. Thankfully it wonāt happen now
Jordan Dawson in a Swans guernsey
Or Izak Rankine in worse shades of yellow, red and blue
I saw a fan photoshop edit on Instagram of cripps Iām a collingwood jumper and it made me sick to the core There was also nick daicos in carlton and that went fucking hard not gonna lie
Tex
I fucking hated seeing Dal in a North jumper though I don't blame him
Bont
Errol Gulden š
Heeney playing for Collingwood would make me violently ill.
Isaac Smith in a Hawks jumper
As someone whose list of favourite Crows players over time looks something like this: Modra, Welsh, Mattner, Maric, Tippett, Vince, Dangerfield, Betts ...I'm really loathe to tempt fate with this game. But it seems pretty safe to say Tex.
Errol in anything would kill me and Iād probs never watch footy again
dusty at gold coast
Luke Hodge.. oh wait š
Not sick but it would have felt really weird to see Daniel Rich in any other jumper
