As the Carlton Football Club readies for the redevelopment of the ground into a multi-million dollar elite training facility and community centre, Members and Supporters are encouraged to help clear the decks by attending Sunday's Garage Sale.

Bargains aplenty will be available from the Carlton Shop and free snags will be on the sizzle, in what doubles as a last chance for the Navy Blue faithful to bid farewell to both the Robert Heatley and George Harris Stands.

Earlier this week, Carlton's 1995 premiership players Anthony Koutoufides and his great mate Ang Christou, together with their respective mums Anna and Ermioni, took the sentimental journey back to the Heatley Stand before it  falls to the wrecking ball.  Naturally they all sat in the No.39 and 43 seats, as they reflected on the good old days.

Ermioni candidly revealed that for all the years she sat in the Heatley Stand she only had eyes for Ang - so much so that when Ang booted the ball forward to the obligatory cries of "Woof", she wouldn't even follow the footy in flight.

"I tell you, this is true . . . I used to watch my beautiful boy and that was it. I used to worry that he'd get hurt and I used to get worried for all the Carlton players," Ermioni said.

"I used to bring the home made biscuits here and Anna would bring the coffee. They are good memories. It's very sad that the grandstand is going."

Anna, together with her late husband Jim and sons Paul and Kristian, also used to keep tabs on "Kouta" from her vantage point in the Heatley. "I always looked for No.43. Even now when I watch a game I say to myself, 'Where's Anthony?', Anna said.

"It's a shame they're pulling down the stand. I think they should still be playing games here too. What can you do?"

In the early days, Christou and Koutoufides would complete their reserve grade commitments, then watch the Carlton seniors from the Heatley Stand. "It was the best spot in the ground," Ang declared. "You could see everything and you didn't have to turn your head."

Koutoufides was also a tad sentimental about it all, but as he readily conceded, "Nothing's forever. You have to move forward. It's progress."

 The Heatley Stand seats are being offered for sale to former reserved seat holders in the stand, which has stood at Carlton since 1932.
