Hey Guys

It's nothing major, but was just in the AFL store in chadstone today, and purchased one of the new unofficial melbourne singlets (not made by nb) it had our new logo and looks great! but more importantly i was forced to buy the last one there which was on the dummie. So i asked the store manager how they have been selling, he said "unbelievably" while every other team looked like they had barely been touched. It's only minor, but just another sign of the clubs growth, and our supporters coming out of their shells. I can't think of a time where melbourne merchandise was the only one sold out.

Maybe i'm looking to far into things, or pre season is taking its toll. BUT anything positive is good enough for me.

    The UNofficial mfc singlet?

    The club would make no $ off that merchandise if that is the case. No?

    sold at the AFL store?

    This doesn't add up for me...

    mate, i completely agree with you, but im going away on thurs and the training singlets aren't in. I've called manytimes hoping it would change. But representing the club overseas is jsut as good as the 25 bucks they would of got

    Hate to be the pessimist, but stores will order stock relative to how many they expect to sell. I know some retailers (Kmart) did not even order MFC clothing this year, only the big Melbourne clubs.

    No... not just as good, but better than the alternative available to you at the time.

    I have one of the official training singlets from the club website.

    It's brilliant.

    if it has the club emblem then it must be official even if not nb, no?

    pretty sure it is copyrighted, so club would get a cut

    i took that into account, and asked him, he said they got the same amount for every club.

    Ha, no.

    Go to to Vic Market and ask where they get there soccer replica shirts and where the money goes.

    They'll laugh at you.

    They come from China and they go straight into their bank account to fund their nasty Fusbal habit.

    The AFL are pretty strict on who uses their logo's, and would be straight onto anything that is not official, especially from an AFL shop. I'd say you are correct and they are official. Maybe someone else has a licence to manufacture non playing tops for all AFL clubs.

    Give me some credit rpfc, i do understand that but the OP said "was just in the AFL store in chadstone today" so I presumed it was an up front legit store in a major shopping centre not some market

    If they are selling counterfeit at the AFL store in Chadstone then MFC's lawyers should get onto it pronto

    AFL (and AFL clubs) do have 2nd and 3rd tier approved apparel manufacturers you know

    To many supporters buying a singlet is just as important as buying a membership.

    More important even.

    Because when you buy a singlet, you get a singlet. But when you buy a membership, you don't get a singlet.

    You wouldn't say that if you were a real supporter...

    Yeah, missed the Chaddy bit.

    Sorry about that.

    But to answer the question of what cut we get from the AFL store - it ain't much.

    Like a gold coin on a $25 item...

    You are obviously not an accountant

    I'm not really that surprised; Chadstone is right in the demon supporting heartland of Bentleigh, Oakleigh and Ormond. I'm sure they would have a rather healthy turnover of dees merchandise at any time.

    Can anyone report on how the gear is selling at Knifepoint or Norflands? A similar result to Chaddy would be worth getting excited about!

    think you might need to edit this.

    Why? Besides extreme political correctness of course?

    Well you can't buy MFC merch at Highpoint so probably not that well.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
