It's interesting that the 25th Anniversary of Season 1987 comes up in 2012. After finishing 2nd bottom in 1986 John Swooper Northey took the Dees to their best season in 23 years. All those that are old enough would remember the euphoria of the final round when we snuck into the final five, after beating Footscray, and Hawthorn beating Geelong by 3pts. I salvaged two posters from the front of a newsagency in Hawthorn after the first final when Melbourne destroyed North by 118pts (not sure but I think this is still a record). The news agent guy thought I was crazy, but I'm rapt to recently found them and have just finished framing them, they bring back great memories I thought it might be a good time to share, The poster displayed is from "The Sun", I also have The Age one from the same day. This is the only time I have ever collected this type memorabilia, I don't think they have them in the wire frames like they used to. Lets hope in 2012 we can go just that one better.
