    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 ?

    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?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
