Hey guys/gals,

Long time reader and first time poster. I have a 1988 Grandfinal football signed by the Melbourne Football club and ALL it's players. Does anyone know what it would be worth? Not wanting to sell it but the question always gets me thinking!

Anyone seen anything like this go to Auction? It's got some of the greats on there including "Jimma".

Thanks for any input. Keep posting guys love your work.

Especially the training updates.

I try not to remember the '88 GF. It was most harrowing afternoon i think i have ever had. I had to sit with 3 Hawthorn supporters for the entire game. I was not able to leave!

I will get payback one day, but '88 was horrific!!!

I've got no idea but personally I wouldn't understand who would pay big bucks for the losing team, but you never know. That said its a nice thing to have. Any idea how many were produced?

Best chance of finding a price if you don't get one on here might be calling up SEN when they have Mario from Gardenvale Collectables on, or dropping into his shop or a similar one.

Worst afternoon in my memory. $350 for a ticket, wet to the bone and team being thrashed :-(

Yeah it was. Equally with the '87 prelim. I didn't think that feeling was possible, to have it twice.

I know exactly how you feel wyl. I generally hate streakers as a matter of principle, but the intruder on that day at least took our attention away from the main game, albeit briefly.

The Hawks supporters i was with were SO arrogant that day. What could i say???

I was stoked they lost that Prelim last year. They now fully understand the Gut Wrenching pain we felt in '87-'88, even if only a taste.

Yeah, I was watching the game when a young lass walked past where I was sitting and went to the boundary fence. I didn't take much notice of her untill a flurry of activity where all her clothes fell off then over the fence and off

Kind of like "and now for something completely different!"

Went to the '88 GF at 7am .I remember the cheer squad were passing around plastic ponchos or raincoats .That was a real highlight of the day .

Then it got bad. From memory we had a good team in the reserves who got thumped as well ( I may be wrong). After the first bounce I find anything hard to recall-my mind has kind of blacked it all out .It's too painful to go back to that day .Can we never mention it again please?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
