Cool, thanks NYT. Didn't even know the hall of fame had a web site.

Good to see we have more "Legends" than the scum. Too bloody right!

What does QV stand for?
 
Rosy, QV is the old Queen Victoria Hospital.

Now a shopping / office / residential development in the city and home to the AFL Hall of Fame
 
i will have to go and have a look seeing as it is uni holidays ;D

might make a day of it, tiger training then expo
 
Thanks for the QV info.  I've got 4 nights in a city motel to use.  The expo sounds as good an excuse as any for a stay in Melbourne.  I really want to see Heart of Gold at the Nova cinema too.  Might have to get the Melways out. :-[
 
Great inititive by the Club and AFG (i assume they tipped some cash in).

These are the sort of 'small' things that have been sadly lacking - for over 20 years!
 
Think I'll have to have an A/L day that week.

Wonder which premiership excites me the most?

Yeah you're right Rosy.    But I'll never forget that day, touching the cup near the forward pocket (plenty of room once the pies supporters left after half time) that was held by my best all time player (GR, No 4, Pretty Boy).
 
You're a lucky duck #4. I've never even been to a grand final.

Phantom out of interest which premiership cup did you choose for your PREnder of the year award?
