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????

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.

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 :)!

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.

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!

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"

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
