    We have a bunch of decisions for the end of the year around Weideman and our depth.

    But that is for later in the year, enjoy the ride. And not looking for perfection in the VFL.

    Agree rpfc. I wouldnt be surprised if Weed and Tomlinson wanted to leave for more opportunity, same with Bedford, Hawks were looking at him last year. Such a hard team to get into, it's inevitable that we will lose some players on the fringe looking for more game time

    Hello all,

     

    Just for the sake of convenience, I am including for those who are interested the VFL losing 1988 grand final poster done by WEG (we will try to erase the horrible memories of how we got belted by Hawthorn in that grand final).

    I am a very big fan of WEG artwork and of VFL and AFL grand final posters in general.

    Obviously, for our drought breaking 2021 AFL Premiership we have seen the losing VFL 1958 grand final poster being used by Weg Art.

    However, I am hopeful we can look to use the 1988 (and the losing 2000 AFL grand final) poster(s) in the near future if we are lucky enough to have any sustained success.

    Anyway, here is what the 1988 VFL grand final poster by WEG looked like for the Melbourne Demons. This is quite a rare image as you would expect and it took me a bit of time to get access to (I had to politely ask a poster on Big Footy). Nevertheless, for those who are into history and memorabilia of the Melbourne Football Club it is worth keeping a copy of this image in my opinion.

    Here it is!

    Looks awesome, if only

    We also didn’t want to keep them.

    I forgot what Howe brought us but Frawley leaving brought us Brayshaw.

    Ben Kennedy, NDS 29 & NDS 50 (46-Liam Hulett) traded by Collingwood for Jeremy Howe & Port Adelaide for Jimmy Toumpas

  6. Terrible News, i sent a letter to Laurie many years ago, he was my dads favourite player along with Bob Johnson. He sent me back a letter with these signed cards included, i have never forgotten it. A kind and generous man, it's a shame he hasn't been inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame, he should be .
