Stickers fade in first quarter

Is it me or does this seem to happen almost every year now?! My poor old stickers lasted about 2 weeks in constant 33 degree Queensland heat!

Surely the club have learnt their lesson and are getting them manufactured by a company different to the last couple of years?

I haven't been in or near my car in over a month, due to injury, so I haven't noticed if mine have faded, but the stickers on our other car appear fine.

Still, you'd think the bloody factory which has made that same mistake over and over, would learn to check the quality of their products, instead of spending unnecessary money reprinting stickers every year.

Good to see the club being proactive and sending out replacements and notifying members.

I think that's exactly why i am surprised! It happens every year but continues to happen!

I know a few Print companies have had an involvement with Melbourne but if those responsible read this, "Please use the Lightfast/Pigmented inks next time".It might be a little bit more expensive but this will save tears welling in the eyes of many.

Its a bit embarrassing when others wonder why you have a little square of white adhesive label paper stuck to your rear window!


2 weeks in constant 33 degree Queensland heat!

I suspect it's the rain washing the colours out! We want a drought like yours! Gale one day, deluge the next!

Mine are fine. The 2010 sticker on the number plate and the jumper MEMBER 10 one on the back window.

In other news I'm shattered at losing my OBAMA '08 bumper sticker in a bumper bar swap after some [censored] ran into me in traffic.

Quite surprised at this article. Haven't received my welcome pack yet for this year (been 6 weeks, cmon club!) however last years stickers, put up over 12 months ago, are bright as bright can be.

Mine are fine too and have had a lot of exposure to the merciless Perth heat. Different batches maybe.

Sorry to read that you are injured Jaded. Not soft tissue injury I hope! I also know that you wouldn't blame poor old Bohdan. Get fit soon.


Colours on my 2009 sticker are holding in Perth sun, though no rain here since November 20!

Haha, haven't you been to Queensland Jack? Might rain in Cairns but certainly doesn't in Brissy!

Not soft tissue, but a fractured patella like Scully. I have sympathy injuries! :)

Had a look at my car today, and stickers are still looking brand new, despite my car sitting in the sun with them for over a month. I must have gotten a good batch.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
