Can't really find any specialty shops online, and when I was in Melbourne nobody had a clue for a brick and mortar store as well. Any stores out there, or is ebay my only bet here?

Your best bet is eBay. I'd just stick with that. Some good items come up here and there - just keep an eye out.

Lots of vintage suburban jumpers also. I was speaking to the guy a few months back and suggested if he had enough interest he was going to look at ordering a bunch of new 'vintage' (read woolen) jumpers be made.

I'm in your boat. I haven't had a woollen long sleeve jumper since... My last was a 2002 Fremantle one. I'm personally after a Fitzroy, Fremantle, North, or Hawthorn one.
eBay is alright, but plenty are knock-offs or sewn by someone's nanna. When you get an authentic, it's sleeveless. But maybe you want that?
I've only been to Memorabilia on Smith once. I was going to say it's a pretty cool place. Well, in my weird perspective, old footy culture is cool, so maybe it is a haven of hip. They didn't have any old VFL/AFL jumpers, which sucked (apart from some actual polyesters), but plenty of random country league designs. Bloke in there was saying he sold them for $30, but put them down to $20 because they were selling so many. Might be worth a lot.

Shop is run by ex-pie Cameron Doyle. Has the best collection of pie jumpers, all P&I or match worn, I have ever seen.

When I was last there, there were original Yellow Peril jumpers with the Burswood patch. Nuff said.
