navy blue

So we all knew it was coming.

Now, Williams finishes his career in the Navy Blue, having played 70 games and kicking 44 goals after arriving at the end of the 2020 season as a restricted free agent from the Giants.

Prior to that, Williams played 113 games and kicked 27 goals for the GWS, giving him a career total of 183 AFL games and 71 goals in total.

Now, of course, when he came to the club, we utilized him in a number of different roles.

Now, this next player is, for me, probably the one who I was a little bit 50-50 on, or at least I thought may have been delisted maybe in the second or third list lodgement.

maybe post-draft, but it is Lewis Young.

Now, Young finishes up after 70 games in the Navy Blue after originally being drafted with pick 49 in the 2016 draft by the Western Bulldogs.

He played 24 games and kicked one goal in his time in the red, white, and blue before being traded to us, of course, as part of a three-way deal involving West Coast, back in 2021, which also included sending Sam Piotrowski-Seaton to the Eagles, which I'd kind of forgotten about until I did a little bit of research and I thought, who do we actually trade? So there we go.

Sorry, I'll just read this article out.

Uh, "In a move that will excite fans today, signing will see Cowan continue in the Navy Blue until at least the end of 2028, with Carroll and O'Farrell continuing until 2027."

Okay.

So sorry, Footy Wire.

Yeah.

Very, very unique footballer we've got on our hands.

Very excited to see what his career is gonna look like in the old dark navy blue.

So again, Nick, stress less to everybody.

Yeah, I have always been a huge fan of Adam Chera.

So I'm 100% keeping him and hopefully he can remain in Navy Blue for the rest of his career.

Now our next player, Zach Williams.

So it's a player that we've touched on a few times in the Friday Agenda.

This year, I reckon.

Yeah, early this year, wasn't it? So, yeah, 2030.

Yeah, can't wait to see Jack Smith in the Navy Blue for the rest of his career.

Now, the next one is Lockie Fogarty.

but Evans reached up with one paw and took it in.

We're in the traditional navy blue too by the way, if you're listening.

Goes back into the corridor, Billy Wilson.

Slow play though.

Dangerfield happy to be escorted over the line by Cowan, and we'll have a throw-in.

Oh.

And very quiet here at the G, which is overwhelmingly of the navy blue persuasion, of course, tonight, but, uh, a hush over the G at the moment.

Pitnet beats Edwards this time, but he can't gather.

The navy one.

What colour did you get?

Navy.

Oh, nice.

Yeah.

and just for the covers again, I think they win it for me.

Ivy blazer or tweed jacket?

Ooh, maybe Ivy blazer kind of like a Navy blazer because it's more, it's leans more into the American kind of side of Ivy.

Yeah, I think it's going to be terrible.

All we know is that it's navy blue.

Yeah.

Have you seen what the Ducks rumored one is? No,

I think that'd be pretty cool.

But I looked at it and saw that it looked to be shit.

So with that, we know that the Canucks color is going to be navy blue, which when I saw that, my first instinct was, that is so fucking boring.

What are they going to be doing? The only thing they could do in a navy blue that I would be even remotely excited about, I saw a mock-up floating around a while ago.

but I have not seen them at all.

But this Navy Jersey that the Predators fans are talking about over and over again, it's been a high, you know, hot topic point of talking about it and wanting it over and over again.

Um, The big thing I come into this and, you know, it's something y'all might not want to hear is that I don't know if it's hometown remixy enough in that it sounds like the NHL and fanatics is really trying to get more, you know, creative and artsy and new with this stuff rather than we're going to do a throwback jersey.

we're going to do a vintage series.

I don't know if it's a leak.

You know, people love to say stuff no matter what.

And so like, oh, well, the Predators color scheme is going to be Navy.

And I don't know how much truth is held to that.

it.

Yeah, and that's kind of noteworthy because we were talking before the show, the FCS games have kind of been the grounds for the Navy blue jerseys.

Which is really popular with the players.

So maybe we see more royal blue? Maybe bigger spots? Yeah.

Weird font on the jerseys.

The lettering was weird.

And then in 2003, 2004, and 2005, it was navy blue, a little bit of tan.

And then 2005 was the navy blue stretch Y.

There's a few others out there.

But I want to throw straight to you and kind of just take... me through your thoughts at the moment about Josh Fraser, obviously because he is now the senior coach and it's great to see finally someone at the head of the helm officially, but also we can also now target players from other clubs because now we look a little bit more appealing because we have a genuine coach now, but also the guys that are out of contract, they might not be in Navy Blue next year.

Yeah, no, you're exactly right.

I think I look at the Essendon situation and they haven't got a coach yet.

Just straight to

the point.

Navy blue.

And then I'm going to ask you after.
