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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
