Latest / Lisa & Russell / Wild Op Shop Find - That Four Years Never Happened...
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: They call it trading season or, in some instances, the
- 0:04Speaker 1: killing season. Yes. Such as at North Melbourne.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Yes.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Alistair Clarkson has parted ways with the club and, suffice
- 0:12Speaker 1: to say, he's not taking it all that well.
- 0:14Speaker 3: I'd like to have been a fly on the wall
- 0:17Speaker 3: at that decision-making. Because something is there. Something's up.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Something stinks in Denmark. Something smells rotten at Arden Street.
- 0:27Speaker 2: In North Melbourne. Yes.
- 0:29Speaker 1: So for those who don't know, a couple of rather
- 0:33Speaker 1: large bags stuffed with footy gear were left outside Vinnie's
- 0:39Speaker 1: store in Hampton.
- 0:41Speaker 2: You're not meant to do that. You're not meant to
- 0:43Speaker 2: just leave.
- 0:43Speaker 1: It on the doorstep. No, you're not. But then if
- 0:45Speaker 1: you don't want to be seen... You're probably going to
- 0:48Speaker 1: do that. You've got to put it.
- 0:50Speaker 2: In the bin. If the bin's full, as in the
- 0:52Speaker 2: charity bin.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Anyway, the Vinnies manager was a little puzzled until opening
- 0:58Speaker 1: the bags and realising that the bags had been dumped
- 1:01Speaker 1: by four-time premiership coach Alistair Clarkson. Who in the dark
- 1:06Speaker 1: of night? drove around the back and just dropped them
- 1:10Speaker 1: next to the roller door.
- 1:10Speaker 2: So it's all this North Melbourne merch.
- 1:12Speaker 1: It's everything. Everything he ever had from North Melbourne. There is,
- 1:18Speaker 1: you know, there's Guernseys. There's those big, you know, coats
- 1:20Speaker 1: that they wear when you see them walking off. Oh,
- 1:22Speaker 1: my gosh.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Look at it all.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 1:25Speaker 1: It's just all. So as far as Alistair Clarkson is concerned,
- 1:30Speaker 1: North Melbourne never happened.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Never happened. There will not be one piece of Rue's
- 1:36Speaker 1: memorabilia in the Clarkson house ever. That four years never happened.
- 1:41Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
- 1:42Speaker 1: So they've worked it out that it's Clarkson's stuff. And
- 1:47Speaker 1: now they're like, we don't know what to do with it.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Because apparently they've been inundated with walk-ins. But see, now
- 1:55Speaker 1: they've got to work out the pricing. And how are
- 1:57Speaker 1: they going to sell it? Are they going to sell
- 1:59Speaker 1: it to people walking in the door? Are they going
- 2:01Speaker 1: to pick the pricier pieces and put it online and
- 2:03Speaker 1: have an auction? I mean, it'll all go for a
- 2:06Speaker 1: good cause.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Don't wash it, for starters.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Why not?
- 2:09Speaker 2: Well, because it's been worn by Clarkson. That's got to
- 2:12Speaker 2: add some, you know.
- 2:13Speaker 1: He's not Elvis. I mean, it's not like you want,
- 2:17Speaker 1: you know, sweat from the concert.
- 2:21Speaker 2: A true North Melbourne fan might.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Oh, a true North Melbourne fan will be. And there's
- 2:26Speaker 1: one here which is one of the Indigenous round warm-up
- 2:30Speaker 1: Guernseys that has his name on it. I reckon that's
- 2:33Speaker 1: the prized piece because that is undeniably a piece of history.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:38Speaker 1: So anyway, they are being inundated at this Vinnie's store
- 2:43Speaker 1: in Melbourne.
- 2:44Speaker 2: That's funny.
- 2:44Speaker 1: That is hilarious, isn't it? So suffice to say, he's
- 2:47Speaker 1: not taking it well. I mean, have you kept old
- 2:50Speaker 1: radio station apparel from, you know, previous radio stations that
- 2:55Speaker 1: shall not be named?
- 2:57Speaker 2: Yes, I did keep something from Fox in Melbourne.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:00Speaker 2: But not the other one.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Oh, really?
- 3:04Speaker 1: You got rid of it? See, I kept my stuff
- 3:05Speaker 1: from there.
- 3:06Speaker 2: No, there was a.
- 3:09Speaker 3: No.
- 3:09Speaker 1: No? I've kept something from everywhere.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Absolutely everywhere.
- 3:14Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about Fremantle op shops, what might be
- 3:19Speaker 3: dumped on Sunday.
- 3:21Speaker 2: If things don't go well on Friday night.
- 3:24Speaker 1: It won't be worth quite as much as Clarko's gear, though.
- 3:27Speaker 3: No.
- 3:28Speaker 1: There you go. Wow. Football, what a brutal industry.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Isn't it?
- 3:32Speaker 1: Gee whiz. He's not taking it well.
- 3:35Speaker 2: I just don't want to know the story on that one.
- 3:37Speaker 1: If you're a Roos fan and you know someone in Melbourne,
- 3:39Speaker 1: tell them to get down to Vinnie's. There's some good
- 3:42Speaker 1: gear on offer.
