Approx 15yrs ago I was given a Melbourne Demons Guernsey by an old friend who owned a Limousine company in Melbourne.  I believe one of the autographs is Neil Daniher however, I am not sure of the others and it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help identify who else has signed this guernsey.
Thanks
Brent

36 Andrew Leoncelli, 21 Steven Febey, Looks like Jeff Farmer on the bottomunder Fila, Maybe David Schwarz on the opposite corner to Neil Daniher. Unsure the one next to Steve Febey's, But possibly Viney (just there is a V and it may be an 1998 jumper with LG on it?

Just checked my 1998 signed Team photo that has sat there for years (won at local footy club function). It could be J Stynes (mine is a bit worse for wear after 23 years, but it does look similar.

I thought Jimmy Stynes as well.

You can pick out the J and the S

1998 was his last year

leon celli(as the paper printed)  played in 98 


LG as a sponsor ran from 1998 to 2003, covering the entirety of Daniher's tenure. 

Could be a red herring though, with extra signatures possibly collected after that period ad hoc. You say you received it around 15 years ago though, so let's presume it was current at the time and cut off at around 2006. 

Neale's signature looks different in later life, but we can all appreciate there's a very good reason for that. We'll rule out Daniel Nicholson, in a weird way of signing one's name. Another earlier scribble pretty much confirms Daniher. 

First thought was Simon Godfrey in the top left - but on checking Schwartz's signature online, this looks like a somewhat horribly squished example, although I'm sure it's not easy signing fabric. And maybe a suggestion of a #5 above it? 

Leoncelli is a cert below that, and I think S. Febey is likely too (although I'd like to ask the latter some questions about his design, as it looks much more like Stevie J. The original Stevie posts on here from memory - so maybe he can confirm?). 

What looks like a #21 however could also be the exact same as a random signature squiggle. Stephen Tingay, bless his woollen socks, may also possibly fit the bill here (though definitely not according to other online examples). 

The one to the right of that and the bottom one are a complete mystery though, yet I would naturally go for Jeff White over Farmer for the lowest one. Hilton however looks the most spot-on to me, though I actually think it's bizarrely David Neitz!

Was going to go with a very random suggestion of Brad Green for the former, but doesn't fit with other online examples. Other left-field suggestions included Lyon and Woewodin, but they don't fit either. And not R. Robertson. 

Thanks for the distraction B_Wright. I'll be up all night on this one.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
