Locker #35
TAX DEDUCTIBLE

Etch your name alongside the Bloods champions and Brownlow medallists of the past, present and future.

The Sydney Swans AFL locker room showcases a rich history. Each locker displays names of those past players who had an extraordinary impact on the Bloods. Current players who enter the locker room are surrounded by the legacy that came before them.

Locker #35 carries its own special history, having previously honoured David Murphy, who played 156 games for the Swans from 1984 to 1993, earned All Australian selection in 1988, and was later recognised as part of the Swans Team of the Century and inducted into the Swans Hall of Fame. More recently, the locker has also been aligned with Barry O’Connor and Caleb Mitchell, and now, two-time Coleman Medallist and recent signing, Charlie Curnow.

You have an extraordinary opportunity to show your support and etch your name in history. Not only will your name be displayed in the Sydney Swans HQ locker room on Locker #35, but it will also be displayed in the SCG locker room for 5 years.

Starting bid: $25,000 ($5,000 per year x 5 years)
