    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?

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
