Is it in the MCC museum or the Australian Sport Museum. The link suggested MCC, but the title of this thread suggests otherwise. They are two different museums at the G. 

The original post was a tweet from the MCC and the tweet said Australian Sports Museum. The tweet has now been deleted and was not replaced. I have now put the Dees tweet about it from today in the original post.

AUSTRALIAN SPORTS MUSEUM AND THE MCC MUSEUM

The MCC Museum forms an integral part of the Australian Sports Museum experience on non-MCG event days, where ticket purchasers will be able to access the MCC Museum from within the Australian Sports Museum.

Follow the signage when browsing the Cricket Gallery inside the Australian Sports Museum to discover the MCC Museum.

Good job, but there’s one problem:

I am going to assume it's the MCC one down near the Bullring

Great to see the Stynes family donating his Brownlow to the museum. However even more surprising was Trac donating his Norm Smith medal so soon after winning it! Said that it means more to him having the fans come and see it. What a guy!

I also note he didn’t hand over his premiership medallion - shows which of the two medals is most important to him.

Please don't donate your empty booze bottles picket - you'd fill the place up.

I was fortunate enough years ago to work on an MFC project cataloguing a lot of their vast trove of memorabilia. This was while it was in temporary storage of the sports museum in the depths of the MCG. Many athletes put on loan or bequeath their medals, uniforms or other gear for safe keeping. Pluggers Locket's Brownlow and Coleman medals were in storage , Betty Cuthbert's track suit and even a funny old bike that was ridden to glory for an olympic gold medal reside down there. Many of the old cricket bats are kept in the MCC museum on loan. The owners say they are properly stored and are kept in a safe secure environment.

There is o much in storage that isn't on display.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
