Straight Sets Simon

No logo on the jumper for me, and I personally prefer the round collar.

I'm sure that money was a factor and even if Adidas own Reebok, Reebok's jumper design isn't nearly as good.

I never understood why Adelaide went from Adidas to Reebok. Big step backwards.

I agree with ML's timeframe comments.

Despite the colours it actually reminded me of the South Australian state jumper which isn't a bad thing as Port need to strengthen their ties with the state and not just the original Port Adelaide Magpies.

Great news, thanks for that.

Assuming all are fit and ready: FB: Frawley Warnock McDonald HB: Grimes Rivers Garland C: Morton Moloney Davey HF: Sylvia Bate Wonaeamirri FF: Watts Jurrah Green Foll: Jamar Jones Trengove Int: Martin Scully Petterd Bruce Emerency: Bennell Jetta MacDonald

I hope that jumper is this years design with a new Reebok jumper as I would prefer a sharper V and smaller Hankook logo (most of it is just white space that takes away from the design of the jumper). EDIT: On a side not it was great to see Port change their jumper to one used in the in the one game this year and their alternative jumper looks great too. Finally a team changes their jumper to something more traditional which looks much better. They went from one of the worst to one of the best jumpers while Brisbane went the other way.

I would have thought that Blease was even further behind Watts, with only just finishing school, having a broken leg and playing very little (if any) football at Casey.

I just had a quick look at Tapscott's YouTube footage and from that he looks like a real player with a deadly boot. Very excited.

Forumulated Opinion?

Great article and that photo is really something special.

I completely agree. Brisbane's jumper was great and the only jumper where a logo actually worked (unlike most away jumpers, Western Bulldogs and West Coast). The simple designs is what makes Australian Rules, Australian Rules, plus they look far better.

Fair call, I forgot that Jurrah got special consideration to enter the PSD.

I'd be surprised if he was still there at pick 50. If Liam Patrick wants to come to Melbourne (and Melbourne wants him), they should tell him not bother with the ND and tell him to go straight into the PSD.

Agreed.

Soaring towards AFL Bolt from Top End

If he plays a similar role to Jurrah and is as good as is being reported, I would put them both in the forward line. St Kilda couldn't stop one Liam, I would like to see the other clubs try and stop two.

I agree, and what better place for Liam to come than with his cousin at Melbourne.

I really hope that Melbourne pick his guy up. If he is half as good as his cousin I will be excited. OUT: Meesen, Newton IN: Daw, Patrick

If Melbourne are not interested in Ball if he doesn't want to come to the club, then what are the chances of a cub like Essendon picking him up if he doesn't want to go there either? EDIT: Assuming that he doesn't want to go there either, only wanting to go to Collingwood.

Western Bulldogs' jumper deal with KooGa In this article it says that KooGa will be paying the Bulldogs $500,000 over four years on top of providing gear for the club.

Great effort Jaded, well done.

Which won't clash with Melbourne's jumper at all...
