Nice, need to get my hands on this bad boy this weekend. 

Is there someone there to help take a photo ? @Demonland

    At the sports Museum? I wasn't sure if we'd get to have a pic holding it or it would be on display only

    You are allowed to touch but not lift.

    I went with 3 other family members and the staff took a photo of us individually and then a group photo. We needed to sanitise our hands before. Mask wearing is compulsory in the museum but you can take it off for the photo.

    What a coincidence. 

    That is exactly the rule I apply to anyone wanting to handle me!

    Any tips for those of us going on the weekend? I assume there was a lot of queuing involved.

    Very happy with the purchase. Haven't worn a guernsey to the footy in a long time but will be a permanent fixture in 2022.

    When did it arrive Andy?still waiting for my purchase to arrive for my son. Cheers

    Is there a booby trap that goes off if you lift it, Indiana Jones style? You just need something of even weight to replace it with.

    Get there early or walk around the museum first to avoid a one hour queue

    No touchy for me. I’m not worthy. 
     

    My unexpected thought seeing it in person is it’s bigger than I thought. It is a damn big trophy. A6B25200-6FCF-4555-A62D-63EC60D812AE.thumb.jpeg.0b5e58b98ef390a33b19b1015dbcdec1.jpegEB587CAB-00AB-4B80-B4B5-C7335060A8C3.thumb.jpeg.b1c0600e6365afaa359a90fec315e200.jpegCED576A6-1BE9-4DDE-A051-52989C73E823.thumb.jpeg.4619a90c6a5a29c4744ad1e73deb3db3.jpeg

    Held the cup. Football thrill of a lifetime. Now it is starting to become real.

    Thanks dees.

    My other thought was - it's more scratched than I though it would be - although it has travelled half the country over the course of 2 months and been in the possession of and/or manhandled by a bunch of raving lunatics 99% of that time (present company not excluded lol).

    And my parting words to the cup: "Welp…see ya next year." That got a bit of a laugh from the group next in line, one of whom said "We don't want to become that kind of supporter." I think I sensed a bit of lingering MFCSS in his tone, as if I had just reignited some kind of…curse?

    I then viewed the 1957 and 1959 cups (beautiful), then paid my respects at Jim Stynes (still scarf-wearing) statue before heading home.

    I noticed that too. It was scratched and scuffed and looked badly in need of a polish. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

    Get there early. We went at 5:30 today.  The staff said if we had been 15 minutes earlier there wasn't a queue.  Still we only had 5-10 people in front of us.  Queue much longer after that point in time.  Museum is pretty cool actually.

    • 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.
