Your Dees best keepsake.

My son keeps saying I should give him my Team Of The Century framed Print. It cost me a small fortune to buy it at the TOTC Dinner and frame it. He will get it when a 6 foot pine box carts me away and not a second sooner.

I also have a Robbie Flower signed tee shirt given to me at my 40th. I treasure both of these items and will never sell them.

Who else has some treasured Demon items, perhaps worth money, but never to be sold????

A 1987 Mini demons footy my dad gave me when i was 5. I used to carry it everywhere as a kid, even while i slept.

 

Funny, I just posted this on the other thread 'Melbourne supporter'.

TOTC - framed with Norm Smith coaching the team (painted)

TOTC - framed guernsey signed by Ron Barrassi & his famous personal sig '17410' (incl. picture of Barrassi as player). Deep blood red yolke with the older version 'V'.

My best keepsake is a blown up photo (40x80cm framed) with Robbie Flower and me as a kid (5-6yo) within the changerooms after a game at Waverley.

I've got the signatures of pretty much all the 1988 Demons squad in an autograph book somewhere.

Apart from that, I don't have much MFC stuff that I treasure, per se.

HT, the enlarged Robbie photo sounds like an absolute cracker!

I have a battered old red and blue teddybear that I bought for my son and which he dragged around for quite a number of years before passing it on to his sister. Robbie Flower's wife used to teach at the local primary school, so the teddybear was always known as Robbie; he is under the stairs at home.

My signed Jimmy Stynes t shirt.... 17/5/98 round 8 Dees V Collingwood & MCG. Has all his Statistics & Club Honours detailed.

Also have his "244 badge"... representing his consecutive Games.

What a true demon legend...No.11 Jimma !!!! :wub: GO DEES

HT, the enlarged Robbie photo sounds like an absolute cracker!

Yeah, I love it. He has his towel wrapped around him (not long after out of the shower) and he's returning my autograph book, we're both looking at the camera (taken by my dad). I'd say it was about 1979-80.

Dad blew it up and framed it for my 21st.

My early 90's Melbourne jumper! It was one of the last ones made with a collar. I got it as a birthday present when I was 14 and have worn it to every Demons game I've been to since. It has a number 9 in the back and the white Tooheys sponsor logo on the front. It even has a big burn mark down the right seam where I left it drying next to a heater and yet I still can't bring myself to replace it :)!

I have Graeme Yeates's long sleeve navy blue training jumper with DRAKE PERSONNEL on the front also a 1980 membership card and medallion.


My new Grimes t-shirt?

My old Dees t-shirt?

LOL. Love the shirts 45h.

I dont really have many keepsakes. I have a few old worn and weay football jumpers and scarves that Ive kept over the years.

Also have a few signed photos of me as a kid with various Melbourne players. Got one with Barassi, one with Robbie Flower, one with Peter Moore, one with Gerard Healy, one with Todd Viney too.

Probably my most treasured football item is a photo of me at the footy as a 3 year old sitting next to my Dad. This was shortly before he became ill. He's got his Fitzroy jumper on and I have a Fitzroy scarfe on. The explaination is that when I was a little kid me and my dad and mum would one week go see Melbourne play for my mum and the next week we'd go watch Fitzroy for my dad. So up until about the age of 6, I went for both teams.

i have a signed 1990 or 1991 (not sure) sherrin signed by the whole team and coach. mint condition - even as a kid i didnt play with it!

All of my membership cards since I became a member on a continuous basis in 1982, dozens of lapel and DIP badges dating back as far as the 1960s, a full set of the DEMON magazine and several bottles of vintage port including Robert Flower Testimonial 1988 and Robert Flower Signature 2002. They will be burried with me!

I have a signed sherrin with Hancook on it signed none other by J.Watts. That will be a keepsafe.


I have an original framed photo of 1957 playing list and officials with names of all in photo hand written in

decorative script - in original frame.

Was presented to my Grandfather by Norm Smith.

I have a framed copy of 1956 team & officials which has been signed by 11 of the surviving players from Premiership side.

Bought at MFC auction.

I also have a page of autographs from MFC 2nd XVIII team - year unknown (possibly 1938)- which includes:-

Keith Truscott, Richie Emselle, Syd Anderson, Jack Furniss, Jack Coolaman, Jack Bennett, Fred Backaway,

Beres Reilly, Ted Regan, John Maher, Bill Adams.

Given to me by a Tigers supporter many years ago.

It used to be my Dad's MFC Guernsey from when he made the 1958 Senior List.

Its now been superseded by my daughter's bib that was signed by Jack Watts and then by all the indigenous players who attended the Long Journey function...its being framed and "going straight into the pool room"

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
