The Robbie Jumper. When I was a little tacker Robbie was my hero. From birth I was given his badge and frequently told about the beauty of his game. I went to many of his games but unfortunately was too young to remember (although I do remember watching the smoothest one handed mark in an EJ Whitten Legends game years later). Growing up even though he'd retired when asked who my favourite player was "Robbie" was my answer, the legend of the man had become a part of me. Dad's mate Brian was a banker and looked after Robbie in the days when he founded Sportsco. One day he asked if Robbie could get him some jumpers for his mate's kids. Being the amazing person he was Robbie gave us all guernsey, although they were all massive adult sized ones that went down to our ankles! This blank, woolen with collar, never been worn Dees guernsey was at Mum and Dad's for 25 years until I found it in a box earlier this year. I found a fella in Fitzroy who'd recreated the VFL logo patch. I got a sew on number 2 at Buffalo Sports in my street, I redesigned the original Drake sponsor's logo and got a guy in Pakistan to make it into an embroidery file for $7 and found a local mob embroider it. Today Damien the tailor from the laundromat on Brunswick Road sewed them all on. The jumper is complete, just like Robbie's was in the 1987 finals series. Tonight I am extremely happy. Tomorrow night I will wear it to the MCG and I hope to keep on wearing it until we will win that final that escaped Robbie's grasp.

Anyone else's vision get a little blurry when the Rev was running down the stairs? Definitely put the offcuts into a compilation as well Ash, so bloody good to watch. Thank you

Hey MT64 if it's a bit hard to upload the photos on here you might find it easier to upload them all to a website like photobucket or Flickr and then post the link on here

Cripes was it that long ago. Well now we've knocked 3 off, how long has it been since we've done 4?

When was the last time we won 3 in a row?

Have a watch if this, the 64 grand final and you can see the paper blowing across even at the centre bounce

If he's Andy's son it looks like the axe has been given away. Those arms don't loomk like third or fourth generation wood chopping champion. Chopper was my idol growing up in the golden age of Jaka, Stynes, Lyon and Viney. Still remember listening on the wireless the day he kicked 8 when we were out *not bulltishing* cutting wood for the coonara

Couldn't figure out how to edit my previous post but was going to add it could end up being up there with Razorback

There's a budget horror flick comin out soon I think called Drop Bear. From the look of the trailer it's going to be one of those so bad it ends up being good
