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

We were scheduled for the 10am morning slot. We got to the G about 9:35 and walked to gate 3.

There were about 10 or 15 people already lined up QR coding and showing their vax status. 

They were already letting people in one group at a time to show your ticket at the box office inside. 

We then proceeded into the museum and went directly to line up for the cup. We manage to get ahead of a few people as they were checking out some of the Museum exhibits. Only about 10 people in the cup line in front of us. 

The line progresses fairly quickly. I guess it depends on how many people in your group want an individual photo and then a group one. We had 4 in our group so it will take a little longer than an individual. They don’t hurry you along but it’s not like you get to take the cup out on a date. You take it in, take a snap and move on. 

When it’s your turn they give you an antiseptic wipe to wipe your hands. I’m not sure if that’s to protect the cup, protect you or protect others. 

You have to wear a mask in the museum but can take it off for the photo. 

As mentioned earlier you are told you can touch but not lift the cup. 

So in summary my best advice is to get there early particularly if you are in the morning group. I think we had had our photo before the actual start time of 10am.

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

You look like one of the most under rated guitarists of the last 20 years or so Steve Craddock. Are you Steve?

Judging by my guitar skills, I'm not him.

Of course you're worthy.
The boys won that thing for us.
Shoulda grabbed it with both hands.

It's strange but I feel happier having seen it but not touched it than holding it for 5 seconds for a photo.

 

This is a dumb question but where are the other 12 cups housed? Are they kept at the MCG if so where? In the MCC?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
