Heritage Round

[Chookbilly]

I want to get one of the heritage guernseys.
I love the red v. When do they go on sale? there's nothing about them on the Swans merch website.

It's the heritage round? Freo are seriously going to be allowed to wear red and white?

As Shane posted in the original post, Freo will be wearing the 1979 East Fremantle Premiership jumper which is blue and white.

Okay, I just read it again. I maintain I wasn't completely obvious for a simple minded ninny to twig.

Any others that non-Wa..ians might recognise in that game?? Paticularly those that might've made State Teams of the era??

#19 for South Fremantle with the beard was a good CHF Joe Mckay played for the State. Pretty sure #8 for EF was Ken Judge. Thought I saw Brad Hardie briefly for Souths. Ray Bauskis the blonde #18 for Souths was a not bad fullforward. (The Sydney Swans could well do with a combination of Ray Bauskis/Joe Mckay as FF/CHf)
Others I recognised but the Eastern Staters wouldn't know was for East Frem: Mario Turco #1, Mick Jez #23, Jim Sewell (think he might have played for Brisbane Bears at one time)

For South Fremantle: Rod (I think it was Rod - or am I getting mixed up with the Sydney Swan) Carter #1 (it was something Carter (Noel)- I think he originally came from Melbourne), Paul Mountain #35, Benny Vigona #49

I'm glad Freo are wearing the East Fremantle Blue & White - it was quite a striking jumper (not that I was a fan - far from it - Car'n the Cardies!). For some reason the Dockers have been hijacked always into the red and white of South Fremantle for the previous heritage rounds. Maybe because their home ground is South Fremantles?
Its time to even things up a bit.

The red and white jumper is actually the old Fremantle jumper. There were a couple of Fremantle teams during the late 1800's. When the second one folded, South Fremantle basically scored their old jumpers and most of their players at whatever the 19th century equivalent of a garage sale was.

What happened to the heritage jumpers in the Collingwood-St Kilda game. It looks like what they would usually wear.

That's the stupidity of a "70's" heritage round,they did wear almost the same jumpers as then. Same with the Essendon/Geelong game.

EDIT: Just flicked over, they aren't even wearing what they wore in the 70's.

Heritage Round can be a joke at times...

That was what I meant, they're wearing their usual jumpers of 2007.

Quite a pathetic effort really.
