2 by hawks, pies and tigers. Bogans will love these, so no shame there.

No dogs, no team North of the Murray and no demons.

Jones? Vince? Max Gawn? Hogan? No.

Oh but there's a Heppell one. Good to see he can make some profit whilst out of the game. Is that legal?

Very poor from the AFL and Coles and poor from Melbourne as well. 

Takes a lot to win a kid back when he goes to the supermarket and can't find his colours anywhere.

    Seriously poor for the AFL to green light this. Some may see it as minor but things like this really do make a difference. The Dogs arguably have the right to be even filthier given they are a team that played finals last year.

    Plus Stringer and Bontempelli are incredibly marketable and you'd mainly stock them in Western Suburbs supermarkets. Saves on the distribution costs. 

    Same with the Melbourne ones. I'm not saying they mass produce thousands of them, but at least sign a player up and have them available in a few Coles stores in the heartland area.

    They talk? And they have Dustin Martin? Wow, who needs Marcel Proust and "In Search of Lost Days".

    The Martin figurine is actually marketing genius.

    Checkout staff have been instructed to ask "would you like chopsticks with that?" when customers purchase.

    Why is it poor from Melbourne?

    Licensees want figurines that will sell, those teams will sell.

    Seems reasonable to me CB I am not sure why all the angst.

    Whinge, beg or supplement the costs if we have to. Convince a player to do it for half the rate the others are charging. Do whatever we can to make sure we aren't left behind.

    It's not up to the club, licensing seldom works that way.

    I see the Mitchell one is lifesize....

    Often these marketing and licensing decisions are made months in advance. If you were going to include an Essendone player, why not include one that would be sure to play in 2016 regardless of whether or not the WADA appeal was successful?  Zaharakis comes to mind.

    Gotta wonder if the Cotchin figurine is the first to go missing.

    Isn't the term 'action figure'?

    Who gives a [censored]. They are rubbish.

    I clicked on the Chad Wingard one and he said 'Hey mate, while you are up, can you get me a cup of tea'

    There was a Jones one last year. They most likely asked him to do a voice over for this year and he told them to [censored] off because its a [censored] idea.

    But apparently you were interested enough to see what one said.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
