timmy
*since it was North Melbourne vs Sydney Swans. which i am glad to say north won.
 
Serious question .........

Why do you buy jumpers from opposition teams?

What is the attraction ?
For myself, if I see something cheap at sports shops that I like, i'll get it, depending if i have the money.
 
This is the majority of them, a few are missing which I'll upload once I find them.

That crows jumper looks like a kids size player issue. Weird, didn't even know they'd bother making them.

Hoops looks immensely stupid being that low on the jumper.

It was a bit of a DIY...

Just won this, not sure if it's real as I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff. Either way $15 for a good jumper to wear to training.

Can anyone tell me about it?
Good score, dude. For $15 you can't go wrong, really. Like Volta has said, though, it is a factory second so slight imperfections (such as being uneven or having poor stitching) may be present.

Either way, bargain.
 
A few more notable additions to the collection:

- 2001 Signed Match Worn (#32 Garry Hocking) Team of the Century Guernsey (From the Round 11 match against Hawthorn. Buddha was the only current player to play in this game with the commemorative guernsey and eventually make the final Geelong Team of the Century)

- 2003 Signed Match Worn (#46 Shannon Byrnes) Clash Guernsey (From the Round 17 match against North Melbourne. I haven't seen too many of these clash guernseys around, so I was happy to get one let alone have it be one from a premiership player. A nice touch that this was in Byrnes' #46 as a rookie before he switched to the #17)

- 2007 Match Worn (#17 Shannon Byrnes) VFL Home Guernsey (From the Round 5 match against Casey Scorpians. Pretty rare guernsey, worn by Byrnes in a VFL premiership year when he was dropped down to the seconds before earning a call up and ultimately playing in the AFL premiership side)

- 2008 Player Issue (#17 Shannon Byrnes) Grand Final Match Home Guernsey (As with my Cam Mooney 2008 GF guernsey, they're not the best guernsey to have for memories keepsake but alas a Grand Final PI is a Grand Final PI - rare)

-2009 Match Worn (#17 Shannon Byrnes) Celebrating 150 Years Commemorative Guernsey (From the Round 18 match against Adelaide)

- 2009 Player Issue (#24 Mark Blake) Celebrating 150 Years Commemorative Guernsey (Getting closer to completing my pet project of having at least one MW or PI guernsey from each of Geelong's premiership players from the current era. This is number 30 from my list of 31, meaning I'm left with one more..)

2004 Pre Season guernseys. I seem to remember a yellow one with a black tiger and black side panels but i could be wrong. Proud of my little collection :p

Where do you source these?!

You must know Shagga...
 
For a price?

Nothing good is free SJ!

But in all seriousness, it varies from player to player. I won't pretend that I'm best mates with any of them, but I've been fortunate to meet a few of the guys through mutual friends/acquaintances and develop some contacts through there.

Some are happy to pull together a handful from their own collections and sell it for a good price, others might take a bit of persuading for a particular guernsey, and others yet may not be interested at all or be looking for a premium (i.e. too much for me) price for some items. I think generally speaking, the guys who have come from our recent era have been really good about these kinds of things though.
