Description

The Australian Football Hall of Fame was established by the AFL in 1996 to recognise and enshrine those who have made a significant contribution to the game since its inception in 1858.
Now, footy fans will be able to pay homage to these greats at a new, permanent addition to the 'Australia's Game' gallery in the National Sports Museum, opening to the public on August 05, 2008.
An outstanding array of material from the Legends of the Australian Football Hall of Fame and those inducted in 2008 will be displayed - including the guernsey worn by Darrel Baldock on the day he captained St Kilda to their 1966 premiership; a certificate presented to Hayden Bunton Snr. in 1931 recognising the first of his three Brownlow medals; John Coleman's Essendon training bag and guernseys worn by Ron Barassi, Kevin Barlett, Leigh Matthews and Ted Whitten.
The National Sports Museum is Australia's first fully-dedicated sports museum and Melbourne's newest attraction.
