Club History 2000 Signed Premiership Football

[sparklingarchy]

Hey Bomber fans,

I'm not one for story telling so I'll cut to the chase, back on GF day 2000 I was out back with dad having a kick of the footy when we found this footy laying on the ground. We took it as a gift from the heavens falling down and gracing our house in Melton at the time. The true origins were never to be discovered.

Anyway, on the eve of 20 years since the premiership (and not being a bombers supporter myself) I thought it would be a good a time as any to part with the footy.

Attached are some photos for those who are interested.

My question is: Is anyone here interested in it? and if so how much would you be willing to part with in order to gain your hands on some history?

I'm currently living in Adelaide so it'll have to be shipped and you won't be able to sight it unless you are in SA (or know someone who is) unfortunately.

Heyyy!!!! That was mine. My dickhead older brother who barracks for Melbourne was pissed off and roosted it over a few fences at home. Never forgave him.

You can PM me for my address so you can return it to me.

Ricky Olarenshaw, Sean Denham, Michael Symons, Michael Prior

To have both Blake Caracella and the great Danny Morgan, must have been 1997.

Denham and Prior were definitely on the list for 2000, can't remember about the other two.
Somewhere I've got a signed photo of the 2000 squad, which included such notable names as Eastaugh, Grgic, Fortser-Knight and Berbakov

 

[Pweter]

It's 98 or earlier. Olarenshaw was at Collingwood in 1999.

Bugger so its worthless, in the tip she goes

Logo should be a clue too... we've had the current Essendon logo since ~ 1996

Footy is allowed to be older than the signatures on it no? Improbable, not impossible.

You wouldn't normally get a premiership team to sign an old footy you had lying around unless it already had signatures on it. Probably some kid took that ball and every time they went to an event where players were signing stuff they got more signatures added to it.

Poor kid, could've sold it for $3.50

 

[tandino]

But what price can you put on memories.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

If I bought this football it’d just ask for a *in trade back to Adelaide in twelve months

Haha and Vic boys never want to go home from the SA teams... wait

Fletch must have launched quite a torp for it to land in Melton.

Olarenshaw left Essendon after 1998, Symons after 1999.

Nothing wrong with Danny Morgan as a footballer, wish some of the present day soft utensils had half his go.
