Did we win the premiership on a Sunday?

The AFL had them printed incorrectly and they’ve been recalled😱

If they are printed then they are not real signatures, who wants to pay $600 for a photocopied ball?

It’s a print not a football!

There are no signatures on the print.. the problem was with the date used ( Sunday was printed, not Saturday)


Still waiting for my merch (t-shirt, prints, mugs and stubbie holders). Did not think it would take this long.

Worth every cent. And it goes to charity. I'm not sure when the AO awards are but I've sent my suggestions. Toot toot

joeboy is talking about the prints he is selling, not the balls Nixon has forged

Australia Post do not even pretend to care anymore about delivery times these days.

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-investigates-nixon-for-allegedly-selling-forged-demons-premiership-memorabilia-20211010-p58ys0.html

The AFL is investigating claims former player agent Ricky Nixon allegedly sold forged memorabilia commemorating Melbourne’s breakthrough premiership while purporting to raise funds for charity.

Nixon sold footballs said to feature the autographs of Demon premiership players, advertising them on his Facebook page afterlast month’s grand final.

However, The Age has spoken to four Dees fans, who purchased one or more of the balls from Nixon, all of whom believe the signatures have been forged.

Nixon advertised the balls for $575 each plus $20 postage.

At least 20 Melbourne supporters are said to have taken up the offer from Nixon, who claimed that at least some of the funds were going to charity.

Basking in their new premiership glow, the fans were keen to get their hands on this souvenir. But concerns over the legitimacy of the signatures soon arose. One warning sign came when a fan spotted that forward Charlie Spargo had supposedly signed his name with a No. 8, even though he wears No. 9.

This just makes me angry. The guy should be investigated.  Seriously !!

Great get, was it the oval or the round one?

The sale of memorabilia is going to make a huge income and welcome profit for the club. It is the advantage and result of the hard work done to win a premiership.

However, I'm disappointed that the club is going so far as to auction off match-day Mascot experiences for kids. Given they are selling for $1000-$2000 per game so far, it means that the children who can be Mascots are almost certainly going to be from very privileged Melbourne families.

I'd hope that children from less-advantaged Demon families would be able to participate as mascots, and not be shut out because their parents can't afford the cost.

I think the club should reconsider this auction item, or make arrangements for some children whose parents aren't rich.

I thought it was only Rd 1 they were selling. 

If it’s every game - yes, that is poor form and elitist.

Looks like Round 1 and one other home game. Would be nice if the successful bidders donated to Ronald McDonald House, Make a Wish or the like.

Yeah I always loved Coop illustrations, so naturally this appeals!
Now to get it framed and negotiate with my better half where it’s going to be hung…

DVD finally listed as shipped. Not holding my breath, but it’s a start

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
