To celebrate Geelong’s triumphant win over Collingwood in the AFL Grand Final and Manly Warringah Sea Eagles’ victory over the New Zealand Warriors in Sunday’s NRL Premiership, Australia Post is releasing two Souvenir Stamp Sheets each featuring the victorious team.

From October 2011, AFL fans and collectors will have the opportunity to purchase their own piece of premiership history at participating Australia Post retail outlets around the country.

Australia Post Philatelic Manager, Michael Zsolt said “The AFL Grand Final is one of Australia’s greatest annual sporting events enjoyed by millions of fans around the country. Geelong fans will understandably be elated with Saturday’s win. We hope the AFL Grand Final Souvenir Stamp Sheet serves as a constant reminder of this historic occasion and the team’s remarkable achievement.”

The Souvenir Stamp Sheet will feature an exciting celebratory post-match image of the 2011 Geelong team, along with team logo, final score, AFL logo and the title of “AFL Premiers 2011″.

“The NRL Grand Final always offers a display of great sporting skill and athleticism, which has millions of passionate fans throughout Australia on the edge of their seats. This Souvenir Stamp Sheet offers rugby fans a highly collectable memento of this historic sporting occasion,” Mr Zsolt said.
