My Dad has a 70's member's tie, he might have some other things, not too sure.

Have a few bits and pieces, my favourite would be some grass plucked from the ground Grand Final day 1993.

Nice one.

Just curious.. how do you keep it?

I mean.. I imagine it'd be quite brown and dry now if you didn't store it some way..

Yeah, it`s pretty stuffed now, more the thought that counts.

Have a couple of the old man`s as well, big fat bastards they are.

Actually on the video as well, when they do the lap of honour look for the footage when the boys run via the punt road end , one bloke gets bowled over and another jumps (yours truly) on the nearest player, from memory it was o`donnell

I just watched it
Did anything happen to you?
All i saw was cops running towards you.

You probably saw the first bloke get absolutely bowled over, I snuck in behind him and jumped on O`Donell`s back was hauled pretty quickly off him and thrown back over the fence. That first bloke copped the brunt of it though. He was quite amusing actually he looked at me and said " Come on mate, me and you we`re going over" So I couldn`t let him down.
Hung around after and got my grass, got another bollocking off the coppers sung a few more renditions of we are the champions in standing room, popped over to the Royal, got kicked out of there " You`re stopping everyone drinking mate" (too much singing) continued on to The Cricketers where to put it mildly the joint was jumping. I swear that pub moved that night.
1993, it`s still amuses me when carlton supporters harp on about `99, they can have `99 every day of the week, they still hurt and squeal like stuck pigs over `93. Until they beat us in one that counts we will always have it over them. Close to the greatest day of my life.

I have Essendon's 04 Jumper signed by every player on the list. And framed Cards from the 01 season. If only it was signed.

 

[DapperDon]

The old man has the ball used in the 84 Grand Final signed by the entire team (well one of the balls used) He bought it off the umpire (not sure who it was sorry) after the match, has a signed plaque confirming it too.

It sits nicely in the bar with many other pieces of Essendon memorabilia, when I was a lad I have been informed I used to kick it around with my brother until I understood the significance of it, understandably since then it's been placed in a protective glass box

Sounds like it was the greatest day of your life

You could not put a price on that ball.

I have to get the '09 ball when we win it, DD.

windy, your stories about 84 and 93 make me wish I was born for 84, and older than 2 for 93. I can barely remember 2000 (I remember stuff like going to the ground, and the lovely old lady next to me who gave me a lolly, but I can't remember anything from the game), but I can still remember Wallis getting tackling in '99, and crying like a baby after it.

Haha, i have the same problem, cant remember much of the '00 grand final. Though, until Geelong won the grand final, my line was for 6 years or so, "Oh, who was the last Victorian team to win the grand final" *receives blank stares from cartlon and collingwood supporters*

Ive got the '04 Team Framed in my room with the likes of mercuri, misiti, Cupido and Bullen.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

The important thing is I can tell all of the Collingwood, St Kilda, Collingwood, Melbourne, Collingwood, Bulldogs, Collingwood, [strike]Hawthorn[/strike], Collingwood and Collingwood fans that I've seen my team win a premiership.

Oh the joys of being born the year after 1990.

 

[Spikey]

Having not been born in the 70's or 80's, I have no Memorabilia from that time. I do however, have this picture of Reimers that my friend Ben made. Worth upwards of $10!

I'd like to purchase this framed signed drawing of yours, it sounds terrific. I'll take it to Antiques Roadshow and get it priced then make love to Liv Tyler on a bed made of hundred dollar bills.

I have an 07 guernsey and Hird and Sheeds have signed on the number 5 on the back. I am living away from home currently but will post a pic when I head home soon.
