VFL/AFL teams with logos on their guernseys has always been the exception rather than the norm, the same for the WAFL too. SANFL was teh exception to the other two major leagues with club logos on the guernsey.

VFL/AFL logo on right Pec, sponsor logo on left Pec has been the go. Saints and Geelong the only clubs that have had the logo on the guernsey
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Probably a little off topic, but I am a fan of numbers on the front of the guernsey too..... they do it in the VFL.
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!

Geelong Cats premiership player Zach Tuohy has today announced his retirement.

The 34-year-old, who will hang up the boots at the conclusion of Geelong’s 2024 campaign.

I'm assuming the Power want him to get more to disrupt where he goes next year even more. There's no other logical reason.

It will be an exodus at Cat Park soon I reckon. 2E a good get for us. I remember when we played against him I thought he was a decent player and the club obviously agreed.

2 metres tall and a pretty much flawless physique, I can see why.

Has kicked 10 in a game, managed 14 Brownlow votes in 2017 in a struggling side, i wonder how he would've gone if he played in a more successful side from the get-go. If his body held up better he could've been anything, I think it was between the ears that let him down, was definitely dangerous enough when the ball was on it's way in.
He'd have to be pretty satisfied with the trade to Melbourne you would think. In 2017, 18 and 19 he finished 3rd, 2nd then 2nd in the Coleman medal and kicked a combined total of 188 goals from 66 games, the most of any player in that time period. He had an injury riddled 2020 only playing 9 games and kicking 8 goals and was put up for trade by North. He requested the trade to Melbourne and was traded on the last day of the trade period. So left a club on the way down and bottoming out and in the next season plays in a premiership and kicked 3 goals in the Grand Final, doesn't get much better than that for a player after a trade.

No is getting delisted....so guarantees a new contract if it's expiring.


Would have to go the delisted free agent route
