It will be great to see. Peter, Phil and Wally all did the jumper proud and can't wait to see them running around again.

It'll bring back some good memories particualry Matera running down the wing and Phil taking a chest mark!

I wouldn't think so. I doubt it would go 30 mins a quarter either though.

Its a disgrace that Phil Matera does not have a premiership medal. Spent god knows how long carrying our forward line. Both Crumbing and leading, only to miss out at the very end.

Who else thinks we could've carried him in 05 GF... i do and reckon the guy's spirit would've helped us win it.

Are we ever gonna learn from NBA and NFL that the whole Organisation should get a ring/medal. FFS the Club themselves should hand em out... to everyone associated with 92-94-06.

One of the things that makes an AFL premiership such an exclusive achievement is that you actually have to be part of the side to get a medal. I think it should stay the way it is.

At the most I'd like to see the 3 emergencies given a medal. Gives sides scope to name players in their premiership side who otherwise wouldn't get a game due to injury (e.g. Modra 97, Matera 05, etc)

I was gutted when Phil retired.

Looking back, no matera & braun, and hall on the other side, we may have flogged them.

Personally a 70% fit Matera would have done enough to get us over the line in 05'

Another Worsfold blunder.

no way, matera was not ready.

does anyone else remember phil matera's finals record? i the love the bloke and he's a deadset gun but he hardly turned it on in the finals...adkins would've been a better choice.

the AFL ****ed us over by letting gaspar off that striking charge. the barstards!
