I wasn't there for the mark...but was at Arctic park
for the goal...!

Me, too.
Next to the glass window of the then Blue Diamonds coterie (outside) with my dad.
In the Herald Sun photo we are there as clear as a bell, which is weird because I was in Sydney that year and must have gone down for the weekend or been on leave or something.
We had the same seats in that stand for years and sat in among the Bendigo people who came down on the bus week after week.

Great times.

Club should buy the memorabilia and then return to sender.

Why should it? I feel very sorry for Buzz and others in WA caught out, but what obligation does an employer have to look after an employee who worked there for 3 years almost 40 years ago?

I’m a supporter of the club preserving items of historical significance, but - frankly - there are plenty of jumpers from the 80s around and framed posters of Buzz taking mark of the year.

Buzz’ predicament is extremely unfortunate, but it has nothing to do with Carlton. I hope Buzz finds a white knight, but as a stakeholder in the club (paid up member) do I want the club’s finite resources spent this way? Not sure I do.

If a ‘tosser from Toorak’ is prepared to stump up the cash that Buzz needs, good luck to them and good result for Buzz. I’m sure some other WA pensioners wish they had that option.

Why should it?
