Tom Morris needs to find a story to generate clicks everyday this is his latest. The prototype and latest push come from a business that makes them say no more

 

I already have one from 2021

Will post a pic

Grotesque but there you go


How many more Yankee concepts do we have to endorse?

We award medals in this country not rings.

If you want a ring go and look for one on a Friday or Saturday night.

 

Gross.

I can understand the argument around giving players who didn't play grand final day but still played a certain percentage of games a medal (say, 10/25 games) as they have made a big contribution.  But the rings are gross. Might as well call ourselves world champions when we win the flag too 

Premiership teddy bear.

Premiership beanie.

Premiership membership to Demonland.

Premiership Netflix account.

Premiership fridge magnet.

Premiership double-glazing installed at a 50% discount.

 

All better than the display of vanity that is a ring which tells people how great you are.


MFC did this about 12 months after our 2021 premiership, with a dinner and presentation of premiership rings in the MCC Committee Room involving the 23 in the flag team. 

At $50,000, $2.2m just for players!!!  Plus some for staff.

Its a ridiculously indulgent way to spend approx $3.0m.    It will be closer to $6.0m if they add AFLW premiership rings ...

Sure recognise all involved but $50,000 apiece?.  If they really want “The ability to recognise all staff and make them feel special for all the hard work and to have something on their shelf is a good thing."  Give them a small replica of the Premiership Cup.  Perhaps personalise it with the recipients name etched onto it.

so, spend less per person and put the rest into junior or country AFL.

Glad to see the AFL are discussing the important issues in football 

maybe use the money to make umpires professional?

after all i drank after 2021 GF, I could just post the Japanese flag

That they should even consider calling it the 'Barassi' ring to honour his legacy offends.  He was a down to earth, no fuss person.  This grotesque and ostentatious token is imv not approriate and I suspect the last thing he would want.  He deserves better and something more public.

Give them a ring but don't name it after the mighty #31.

  • 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.
