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 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

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"

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
