Discussion Strange or Interesting AFL Photos

[HTT]

Early 2000s photos always seem to have so much colour.

BLK didn't exist

Sorry

First time I saw a Melbourne Fila jumper that pink.

I reckon that's the lighting playing tricks on that photo (unlike the New Balance ones we had a couple of years back where they could never get the red to actually look red!).

It's not the only one I saw like that. There was another one, I just can't remember where it was.

Nothing would look very red in direct comparison with Peter Walsh's hair though

There's a photo of Mitch Duncan that belongs in this thread if anyone can find it. cringe

Could use this kind of player in our forward line atm... Also throwback to Collingwood's Addidas days.

You've already got one.
Mason Cox never kicked a football before pulling on a Collingwood jumper either.

Thanks floggo, you ruined the Bont for all of us.

Pretty sure the Bont ruined the Bont for all of us.

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

Can we please have a rule where he cannot be referred to as 'The Bont'?
It's the worst.

Is now a good time to say that photo isn't Bontempelli?

It is Demons Legend Luke Williams:

I didn't think it was, but everyone else seemed to think it was so I just assumed that I was an idiot.

 

[Jack Stevens]

decent lookalike

 

[SilvaComet]

That's Bontempelli.

 

[Gibbsy]

That's Bontempelli.

Sorry everyone, you're all wrong.

Reverse image search brought up Aaron Rogers from Melbourne

And this is what Rogers looked like

Just quietly, he's done very well for himself since leaving the Demons with 0 senior games to his name.

Frustrated by his lack of progress at the Dees he made the fateful decision to add a "D" to his last name and try his luck in the USA.

The Green Bay Packers, unaware of his old identity, took a flyer on this Aaron "Rodgers" in the first round of the NFL draft.

The former Melbourne reserves player repaid their faith by spearheading their 2010 Superbowl victory, picking up the NFL's version of the Norm Smith Medal in the process as Superbowl MVP.

Today he remains in hiding at Lambeau Field, Wisconsin - only emerging from the shadows each year for 16 games plus an annual playoff run.

Something is just strange with this picture.
A random group of kids in coloured shorts and red socks (are they young players??) including one super short Pies player with his collar turned up Elvis-style with David Neitz and a haired Tom Harley in trackies in the middle

This doesn't really explain much more

Why are they on their knees?

That's what I thought too! It has to be some sort of U/16 squad

So you can see the jumpers at the back more clearly I suppose. This photo is from the 2003 heritage round launch (Victorian teams only). Collingwood ended up adding a third stripe 'cos Eddie.

I get that, but every other picture ever has players in lines.
Just surprised me that they put them on their knees.

And is the Eddie thing true, or good BigFooty gospel?
