way back when some of our members weren't even born!!!
Around 1990-91 when I was in grade 6-7 I wrote to some of the VFL (before the AFL existed kids) clubs, telling them that I loved footy and obviously being in Tassie couldn't get to the games and sent my cards from that season to ask if they would sign the cards for me. Below are the results.
A couple of clubs didn't sign the cards, but returned them
One club, DIRTY COLLINGWOOD!!!!! Didn't sign and didn't return a little 11 year olds cards either.....
Most clubs also included a letter (Which I still have all of) some of them written or signed by a player as well.
Couple of Bronwlow medallists, and a legend or 2.
