Very nice upgrade! Bit worried about the positioning of the trophies though, the sun might damage the trophies after a while

They're replicas

They're replicas

Putting a fake display on for the general public. Fitting. (obviously understandable to not have the real ones)

 

[Ljc_86]

Where are the real ones?

Where are the real ones?

Hinkley has taken them to Cash Converters.

Having trophies is overrated

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Where are the real ones?

Maybe Richo gave then to the "real Port Adelaide"?

Did they have a special 10 year cabinet with 'air' for 'Kenny's Cabinet'

Kenophobia is the fear of empty spaces, empty rooms, or voids.
Kenophobes are afraid of empty rooms and empty stretches of landscapes. They get an eerie feeling upon seeing such wide spaces. They expect to see walls, mountains, or people, and when these are not present, they tend to have panic attacks. Empty rooms and landscapes trigger disorientation in the individual and they develop a sense of detachment or ‘unreality’ upon seeing these places. Needless to say; life can get very difficult for a Kenophobe.

Everyone has to check out the museum, the Hinkley wing was particularly lit.

By 'wing' do you mean the bin at the bar with the TAB where the dud betting slips go?

There is only one real Thomas Seymour Hill trophy and it’s currently at Oval Avenue

Yeah, people don't get that it is a perpetual trophy. It's not like the AFL Premiership Cup where a new one is created every year.

I agree about the positioning of the valuable trophies. The sun will damage them.

The same way the display light in the cabinet of the 2004 premiership display has damaged one half of the match day football donated by Choco.

Ha HA, the Hinkley Precinct would be more fitting.

Since 1959.

Before that the clubs got flags. So when you see Carlton an Essendon with 16 and Collingwood 15 trophies, more than half are replicas.

Only Hawks' 12 snd North's 4 are 100% original cups of the 10 vic clubs.

It's not named the Hinkley Precinct but 5% of all revenue goes to the Hinkley Family Trust.*

Ah thank you. Much appreciated.

I'd be happy with Hinkley Extinct

I think it's great that they have left three empty spaces to accommodate the three premiership cups Matthew Richardson

When they are still empty in three years from now, it will become a shrine to his failure.

Those sanfl trophies are reproductions but I would still attempt to avoid needing to restore them. The plaques however are the real deal. Hopefully they are protected.

 

[Joelg]

Did Kochie donate/contribute?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I haven't had a chance to go and have a look yet but I have heard from others that have been that the presentation is superb.

Looking forward to getting there and basking in some glorious memories.
