I have been re-watching the 2001-02-03 grand finals.
I know the outcome of those games, but still yell out while watching the 2002 GF.
Please tell me I am normal and not tragic.

Agree with Vidman, tragic but normal.
However, I have never seen a replay of the 2002, 2003 Grand Finals or the 2003 Preliminary final, and only a few weeks back watched 2001 decider.
Something about those games, and being there was special!!!!:thumbsu:

watching the 02 and 03 grand finals is normal i mean you could not have picked a better team to beat 2 years in a row.
and seeing mick malthouse cry in 02 was pretty funny and seeing them show eddie during the game in 03 was sweet as :D

I totally agree. I admit i must have watched the 3 grand finals, maybe, 20 times each. I lived in Sicily for 2 years and every week i watched either the prelim, semis or grand finals. They all thought i was mad, not mad, just mad for Brisbane. Even watch the 2004 granny once while - only up to 3/4 time - just to fanatasize what could have been. Too many ifs and could have beens.....anyway....cannot lament...we still were/are the greatest team of this era!!!!

A grown up (hence Queen size doona cover). Not much older than the older players...
Would any players have a BL doona cover?

hmmmm, I like the sound of the doona, might have to invest in one soon :D
I'm pretty much obsessive. One entire draw of Lions shirts and gurnseys, a tracksuit that I won :D, a giant Brisbane Lions logo hanging in me room (I got it off the Aussie Chamber of Commerce people when I was living in the Philippines) and a Aka painting, 3 or so hats, and the Premiership DVD's....
Wait, does that just mean obsessive... or am I as well a tragic?

Fantastic Vipertooth. The problem is not living in Brisbane or Melbourne where this 'behaviour' is more acceptable. Only one scarf?
I have 5 scarves (2 members, 1 regular, 1 ten year, one old Bears), 2 beanies, 3 caps, a bunch of t-shirts, dress socks, wristband, tie, little bear in uniform, player badges (7), 1 big flag, short sleeve guernsey, long sleeve guernsey, 2006 heritage round bears guernsey (worn and signed by Josh Drummond), Blacky's 2006 match worn guernsey, door chime, two clocks (they were on sale), a pair of THONGS, and probably more other stuff...
Now, should I get the bath towel or not?
What I think might be really over the top is going to a game wearing the full kit (I've seen it). Now that is really tragic.

We have the normal array of Lions/Bears stuff.
Ranging from original Brisbane bear signed by the whole 1995 finals team, to old Bears single bedlinen.
We have the usual suspect personal signed jumpers.A friends pride and joy is Champs last jumper,signed to him,and still smells of linement.
The kids fav, though is their actual picture with a Lions player,at a private BBQ with GF medals in their hands.
Everything is personal and private for us.Can't handle people that take advantage of the players and get things signed and then on sell them.
or people that step over the line, and border on stalking players.

One of the rumours to come out of the Brownlow, is that Leigh sells the players guernseys for money. You won't be surprised to find out that it all came from the man himself, Akermanis. What a bunch of bullsh*t.
Also said more about the club and Leigh, but i'm not going to post it becuase it's irrelevent and it's time to move on.

pfft! Whatever, I don't collect signatures at all, the only one I have is for Stevie, and that was someone being a smart arse and getting his pic in a year book signed to me!
Didn't Craig McRae start a website for selling sports memorabilia.
Personally I couldn't give a stuff about signed things, or people selling them etc, it is the people stupid enough to buy them that I question.
I have a few pics taken with my fave's though (even then I feel stupid doing that!)

Doesn't the players' ownership of their stuff be in the contract?
A shame they don't keep all of their gear.
The club does auction (online) their gear and the money goes to the club.
I also know that when you sponsor a player, the club gets the money and not the player (I phoned and asked) but the sponsor does get the extra hospitality of/with the player, courtesy of the club of course.
I intend to ask Blacky to sign his own guernsey that I now own (only because it means a lot to me). If he wants it back, I'd give it to him, but then he does earn so much more money than me.
I wish I'd bid on a Crackers one now. Poor Crackers, he's still one of my favourites. I quite liked being surprised whether he had shaved or not, or had messy hair during a game.

That reminds me, I hope I can still find my newspapers from the GFs. I fear they have been "tidied" so who knows where they are now...
I lost all my Football Records (from 1997) in a similar incident a couple of years back although apparently they are "still around somewhere". Surprisingly disappointing even though you doubt you'd want to read most of those interviews and the like again.
I remember in 1998 when we last had the injury curse, there was almost a rule that if a player was interviewed or pictured in the Record, there was a certainly that he'd manage to get himself injured in the game.

We picked up our 10 year and heritage ones when we went to the sponsors dinner on the 01.09...Mike had put them in a bag and even tho they were all wrapped you could smell them from under the dinner table !
:eek:
When I got home that night and unwrapped them, it smelt like someone had died (fresh fruit for rotting vegetables)...tried airing them for 2 days to no avail so had to end up handwashing in woolwash - that way they still looked match-worn (dirty) but at least the guy doing the framing wasn't going to pass out !
:thumbsu:
Brad's was the only match-worn one I never needed to wash as it didn't smell (apart from Simon's Dees one)...Have one of Jason's 2001 footy boots and it still has that freshly worn odour...

I used Febreze (a fabric deodoriser) and hung it outside for a few days, and also on the hills hoist in the sun. Still took about two weeks though.
How much does framing cost? And which side do you display - front or back? Is it possible to do two-sided?

there is a place over at woolloongabba that does jumper framing for about $150. as for both sides, yup need a gas wall although Iam sure there would be a way to do it so the picture could be hung both ways?

You can get a perspex open hanging jumper frame so you can turn it over and see both sides - if it's an everyday match-worn, I hang number side but if it's a subliminated one ie. 10 year, I hang front side...

Finally I've found maroon sheets and pillow cases to go with the mostly blue Lions doona cover and pillow cases.
They are from K-Mart, Royal Club brand, cotton/poly and colour is labelled as "Henna".
They are also on sale this week - QS fitted sheet is $21 (reduced from $35).
And to the 'style gurus', no I could not find maroon sheets by Sheridan.

Good stuff mate! Get the door chime, and they will really go insane!
Re the guernseys, I think the shop is flogging them all off, to make way for the Vodafone branded ones.
Unfortunately, I've missed out on the alternate guernsey for now. I really like it.

Re the guernseys, I think the shop is flogging them all off, to make way for the Vodafone branded ones.
Unfortunately, I've missed out on the alternate guernsey for now. I really like it.
Lions boxer shorts... hmmmm... I had never thought of it.
I've already driven me Dad so insane he lives overseas :D
Right now I'm enjoying 2002 highlights, and will watch the 2002 Grand Final aswell, while drinking Extra Dry Platnium in a Vossy Stubby Holder :D

Australia Post will be selling AFL souvenir booklets in April 2007.
$14.95 each.
Each booklet includes stamps, team information, an AFL medalion and 10% discount on AFL merchandise.
Many years ago, there was a stamp booklet (non-souvenir) with stamps of very team. I actually used all the stamps. I could not bear using the Brisbane Bears one and it is still in my diary, unused.

Why am I always the last one to find out about these things? :(
Did Blacky have enough postage on him to get anywhere? Given that postage on parcels is based on weight and volume, he might have had enough to go from the city to, err, the city again... :D

However if you just wanted to send the head then...

Guaranteed Next Business Day (If posted on any business day Monday to Friday in accordance with the conditions set out on the item).

Thats if you wanted to send just the head to the Telstra Dome. You could probably send him in 6 pieces and assemble on delivery.
