verdun's sale

footy news · Post: # 762118Post **footy news** » Tue 23 Jun 2009 2:08am

Verdun has agreed for St Kilda to take the brownlow medal - heard from reliable source.

Footy show was not meant to mention it as Verdun + his wife wanted St Kilda to announce it - but !!

Verdun has not hit hard times apparently - and was only worried about missing out on golf regarding operations - but being a man of his times the security of his wife is more important than anything I suppose.

all the best to him - and glad St Kilda saw sense.

I think that the vast majority of 'punters' at Leski's auctions actually watch it over the net.

It may well be that no sale has actually been concluded as yet?

I Support the Club buying

Whilst it may be a chance to off set the cost.......

I hope the clubs purchase was not driven by this offer to club members/supporters

"We had so many people tell us we had to buy the medal, and we will now look at doing something else that people have suggested - give our members a chance to make a contribution, whether it be $1 or $1000, or whatever, as part of a fundraising initiative that will allow them to feel part of it," Nettlefold said.

it would be nice if a club sponsor/ supporter /benefactor would donate funds to ensure that the Heritage museum that has holds of Millions of $ worth of memorabilia could be built and well supporterd into the future so things like this can continue to be picked up if need be by the club.

I like that the club has it.

I'd rather we spent the money on a few other things, but in saying that, the club should always treasure its history and look after past players.

So it's probably a good thing...?

Ideal situation: private buyer purchases it and chooses to display at the club.

i would love to buy it and sell to the club for a profit

however, i wouldnt want to pay $50,000 to turn around and sell it to the saints for $200,000 and cost the club $150,000 when they have a chance to buy it today

Good news by the club

Harvey can sell one of his and make a bit of cash as Carlton probably cant afford to pay him as Judd and Fev are after too much money
