So a few years ago I turned 30, and everyone knew I was a big dogs fan. Somehow two people each got me signed and framed Adam Cooney Posters. Coons was never my favourite player either (at the time I was a BJ Fan).

So yeah, I've got two signed and framed Adam Cooney bulldog posters, they're probably worthless, but I don't know what to do with them.

Anyone else in a similar position with say, Griffen or Higgo?

Give back to club or sell them.

Had a framed signed Cooney Brownlow poster on a wall but had to take it down as soon as he was traded. I will always be a massive Cooney fan but I ain't having no current Essendon player hanging on my wall.

Yeah like others before, burn anything that has Judas in it.

I had Lake, Cooney and Higgins guernseys :cry: (did get them all before 2009 though) lucky they don't fit me anymore, but I wouldn't put them on again. Seriously considering never having a number on my back again now if I do buy a new one in the future.

How many of us burned KT's number 31 after he left? Very few. Cooney will always be a champ in our clubs history and so will Griffen. They both played their best footy in our colours and that shouldn't be forgotten
Apart from Cooney, I don't recognise the other two names. Are they former players?

I think that the comments about burning Cooney's gear are largely tongue in cheek Mike.

I remember an old Footscray woollen type jumper I had hanging in the wardrobe for years & years with the famous number 7 on it, I don't have it any more so I guess at some point moving house I let it go :(
