This is sad but of course understandable. It's too much to ask of one man to maintain a website almost every week for a quarter-century. Do you intend to pass the baton on at some point? (Not to me, but I would hate to see the site go under)

Got missed in the new designs, but Emirates have dropped the “Fly Better” tagline on the front of the Pies’ home guernsey

Because the three stripes screams Adidas. I mentioned this when the guernsey was first brought in for the AFLW Cats, but with respect, its usage was a bit more 'off Broadway'. I genuinely wonder if the execs at Adidas Australia will take kindly to a big three stripes on a guernsey designed by...

Ewin hosted the Brownlow in 1977 too. Looks like there were two Peter Ewins living in Melbourne during that time: Not sure which is the one that passed away. Probably the one without a middle name.

I got a message back on Find a Grave re: my Michael O'Hagan photo request. Hi, The Council burial register doesn't have Michael O'Hagan listed. I've looked up the Moree Court House death records and have found there was a Richard Joseph O'Hagen aged 82 yrs who died in Moree in March 1960 and...

Here's to you, Mr. Robinson Add this to the list of dates we would be able to ratify were we to have access to a certificate.

Robinson is a good shout, thanks. We don’t have him on our list. Wikipedia has 1876 (no date, just year). Draftguru has 1873 (old data?)

Unless Les "Tiny" Williams is not Leslie Albert Williams... I like the link between Les and Alby being related and playing together at both Oakleigh and Dandenong.

With, for mine, although it might be the nostalgia talking. It'd be nice if the men's jumper has a bit more white space around the QBE Insurance text though, I'm not a huge fan of how it appears on the women's jumper.

We did a lot of work a few years back on Bill Woods. Bill Woods William Cross Woods [?] [?] 1881 Geel 1909 ⬥ Thought by AFL to be William Henry Woods, DOB 31 Aug 1890 (unlikely) ⬥ Then believed to be William Woods, born 1890 in Portarlington, enlisted in First AIF in 1915 and returned to Aus...

Alby Williams Albert Joseph Williams 3 Aug 1916 NM 1943 ⬥ Married Doris Vivienne Williams (nee Jackman) in 1940 ⬥ When Doris passed away in 1964, Alby was still listed as alive in her death notice I'm a little unsure about Albert Joseph Williams being our man here. Going back to GreyCrow's...

Re: Ray Ross Ray Ross Raymond Paul Ross 2 May 1900 Ess 1921 ⬥ Ross is not Rich/StK player Raymond Roberts Ross from similar era ⬥ Potential that Raymond Paul Ross changed his name to Raymond Paul Elliott and died in 1980 (same mother) ⬥ More ruling out of other people (aka Raymond Roberts...

rbartlett anything more ever found on Arch Robinson? Arch Robinson Archibald Robinson 9 Jul 1890 Rich 1911 ⬥ Served in AIF in WWI; Army records suggest born in 1888, not 1890 ⬥ Divorced Edith Robinson Whitehead in 1921 ⬥ Was often misnamed as Robertson

Almost certainly. Compare the 2025 polo on the left (all red, Insurance logo) with the 2024 polo on the right (slightly darker red collar and cuffs, no Insurance logo) I suspect it'll look something like this:

Bit of research into Sam Reid Sam Reid Samuel Alexander Reid 17 Jun 1872 Carl 1897 ⬥ Parents were likely James Reid and Ann Eliza Reid (nee Ralston) ⬥ Probably not the Samuel Reid that died in 1949 and may have lived in Japan (different parents to those listed on Blueseum) Initially I...

Fascinating indeed. That's two NSW links there (the Find a Grave listing and the NSW BDM listing). I think a good jump-off point is the death of his sister Mary Terese O'Hagan in 1970. She is also seemingly referred to as Mary Theresa and Mary Teresa in various electoral rolls, probate listing...

Love the stickman poses! I still think I prefer your V1 redesign (not sold on the 1873 sitting over the cross) but this is a well put together concept.

I think we're almost certain to see QBE Insurance on the front of the Swans jumper next season for the first time since 2001. This is based off the 2025 polo shirt seen tonight featuring the QBE Insurance logo, as well as the 2024 AFLW jumper.

Maybe they can change the Giants icon while they're at it. Still rolling with the off-centre G on the Fox Footy draft coverage despite not having worn that guernsey since 2020

Nothing says '100 years' like bringing back your shitty clash jumper from 2016. What is the thought process behind it, honestly? It's not like it's an Asics design either – it's from the BLK era! There would be uproar if the Dogs were asked to play a grand final in that kit, yet that has to be...

And if we're comparing it to the 150 Year logo too, I think it's also a downgrade. Almost an identical shield shape, but I much prefer the wreath ribbon.

You could even change that to read 'St. Kilda' (if that was so important) and still have an upgrade on what they've brought in.. My first thought on seeing the new logo was disappointment.

Dunno what's going on with the two different versions of the logo, either. The below is what the AFL has shared on Facebook. Are they using the two-coloured ribbon background or not?

Michael Joseph "Mick" O'Hagan. Could this be our man? 1878 birth year links up, although I'm not finding any info through NSW BDM.

We actually have a death date for John James (Jack) McKenzie. This almost semeed too easy. Our friend Footballers Family Trees on Ancestry (is that one of you guys?) had it listed, and it's backed up with a death notice in the Mercury.

Robert Ritchie "Bobby" Craig Current notes are: ⬥ Born in Williamstown (Aus), moved to Scotland by 1901 (census) ⬥ Departed Liverpool for Argentina in 1913, married in Scotland in 1914 ⬥ Brother Andrew buried in Dromana (Aus) in 1982 A number of profiles on Ancestry have Craig dying in Buenoes...

Back on Samuel Otto John "Otto" Buck. I did a lot of digging a while back and debunked the 1946 death date which was actually another Samuel Buck born 6 years later. Different trees now list different dates that prompt further research. All appear sourced from personal records, or at least...

Looks like we have a confirmed DOD for Ivan Clues – 7 April 2004. This is sourced from Ancestry and was added by one Sharon Clues, which is the same 'sclues' who made contact with us earlier this year. Again, most relevant to 35Daicos and Oliver G. If we get this up on AF soon then we can use...

It's certainly a unique name. I would feel a bit strange 'cold calling' him asking if his great-grandfather is dead or alive though.

Going through a few of the names on the table with my Ancestry subscription. Remember Frank Corby? Underworld links and in trouble with the law, sometimes used his brother Lawrence's name as a cover? The Corby family tree on Ancestry now has his death listed as 2008 in Melbourne. No specific...
