[Matt26]

Hi everyone!

The Sydney Swans marked 30 years of being in Sydney with a special jersey they wore in the Round 8 game against Melbourne at the SCG. They then auctioned off the jerseys and I was lucky enough to win one of the Swans defender Marty Mattner.

The jersey features the name of all 299 players that have represented the Sydney Swans.

You can see the jersey here:

If you want to see the jersey in action, go to the 2:54 mark of the video to see Marty Mattner kick a goal in this jersey from outside 50m.

Very happy to add this to the collection.

Cheers
Matt

Fantastic Matt. Was a good player for the Crows Mattner and was sorry to see him leave. Always liked the old South Melbourne jumper, you've really done well there

Thanks mate.....yeah I just wanted to pick up one of the jerseys...wasnt real fussed who it was. Funny thing was the last jersey to end in the auction - Luke Parker...2 people got in a bidding war and it ended up over $1000! The next highest was Josh kennedy at $800!

Very nice Matt. Assume you wont be cutting this one up to make your own cards (although that would look pretty cool!!!)

Excuse my ignorance but what is that black thing on the third picture? Is that where the tracking device goes to track his kms?

Great pickup Matt, awesome design that one. Mattner is a very good player, you did very well. Sounds like the jumpers went very cheap if only one got higher than $800?

Is it going in a double sided frame?
