Alex Jesaulenko signs Carlton jumper for Swannies’ AFL Grand Final Party in Saigon

Posted by Vietnam Swans on September 4, 2012

Swannies’ Sponsors: Lagler Australia’s Cameron Luke meets Xango Juice’s Alex Jesaulenko… The Carlton “Team of the Century” jumper, signed by Alex this morning, which will be auctioned at the Swannies 2012 AFL Grand Final Party in Saigon.

This morning, Cameron Luke from Swannies’ sponsor, (leaders in floor sanding supplies), had an important job to do with his son, Matthew.

Their “job” was to go and visit one of the greatest AFL/VFL footballers ever, Alex Jesaulkenko (and Alex is part of Xango Juice, another of the Swannies’ sponsors from Australia).

Cameron just happened to have a Carlton Team of the Century jumper with him which Alex very generously signed.

Woop, woop!! That jumper will now be sent to Vietnam for auction at the Vietnam Swans’ AFL Grand Final Party in Saigon.

From all the Vietnam Swans, a very special thank you to Lagler Australia and Xango Juice for donating such an amazing piece of memorabilia!!

That mark!

Last year, Leigh Matthews ranked the 20 greatest VFL/AFL moments of all time. Matthews ranked that mark of Jesaulenko’s in the 1970 VFL Grand Final as his No. 4 moment. to view the Leigh Matthews segment.

And for the trivia buffs, what did Channel 7′s Mike Williamson say after the famous line, “Jesaulenko, you beauty!”?

“Bring him oxygen!”

To see a very funny reenactment of that mark in a commercial for Toyota, .
