McQueen Thanks for sharing that I for one really enjoyed it.

That is so cool?

Hope you get to keep it??

Well I paid for it...

Interestingly, the fella I bought it off actually contacted the club to see if they were interested in it and didn’t hear back from them.

I have a 1959 GF medallion that was given to all the players after they won the match. I thought it might be something that the club would like to display so I contacted them via email and also never heard anything. They always seem to reply when I email them about purchasing a membership/additional memberships. Anyway I digress, that’s a great piece of memorabilia you have.

I know mate. 
 

I’m almost in disbelief that I'm possession of something that RDB, Tassie Johnson, Dixon, Ridley et al have signed and coached by Norm Smith. 

I’d gladly donate it to the club. 
 

Well...

Looks like it could be The Argus Newspaper football club badges from 1950-51. 

They produced a lot not just for VFL sides but country sides as well.  

Plenty of examples on e-bay, but not a Melbourne one being sold atm.

 

The Herald also had VFL football badges but at around 1960. 

 And then there are these of more recent and unknown provenance though the middle one I suspect was made for filth supporters. The badge shown by Demonland has unusual atypical colours and old style design to what we expect and could date from the 1920’s or even earlier IMO. Celluloid pin badges were first made in the 1890’s.

I spoke to an ex-player who lent his scrapbook from 1964 to the club and they lost it ?


Um, yeah, starting to see a trend with the way this club regards it's history..

I'm glad a melbourne member has it now?

Whilst this is terrible, haven't they also lost some or most of the premiership flags?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
