They should send a big box to AMW as he has a bit of time to build the Death Star or the Millennium falcon…

    Is it really a coincidence that we have both Harvey Langford and Lego onboard this year?

    No.

    Apart from the team at the club who rightfully deserve the accolades, I wonder if Hamish's profile with the club helped on this?

    Will Max be featuring on Legomasters this year?

    Btw: A big shout out to Hamish who has done a lot work with some sick kids in a very low key way. Top effort.

    Surely this initiative  would present excellent cost-saving opportunities for our new Admin centre at Caulfield...

    As a Lego Star Wars fiend, and the recent inheritor of a very large technics collection (cranes and industrial vehicles), this news has absolutely made my day, probably this year!

    Lego and the Dees have been on an equal footing in my brain, which I know is almost unforgivable in this space, but they have been compartmentalised to be fair. Now I have legitimacy to be as emotionally fulfilled as the moment attending the 2021 GF, well maybe slightly less ... but nonetheless, they can now reside equally without favour and people can roll their eyes as much as they want when I segue from the Dees to Lego and back to the Dees ad nauseum. 

    Huge signing, and massive potential in attracting kids to the Dees, as some have pointed out.

    This must surely be one of the largest international sponsors in the AFL. 

    Massive acquisition will be incredibly important for increasing membership and attendance for the young kids.

    As a financially crippled Lego fan (I have at least 100+ unopened boxes stashed in cupboards, under beds, piled in my study etc, not to mention what is actually built all over the place), this is great!! I loosely partnered with Lego HQ at some point, and I can tell you the hoops and hurdles that must have gone through to get this done would have been significant. 

    Lego is a closely held, still family-owned company who is very conservative with who it partners with, communications, and messaging etc. So excellent work all round!!

    Heard the club has been toying with the idea of this sponsorship for a while.

    You trying to get blocked?

    Very fun partnership. Iga Swiatek was recently sponsored by Lego too and seemed to have a lot of fun during the more corporate photo days. 

    Can’t wait to see what they have in store with the club! Not a big figure collector, but I did buy the Nintendo Entertainment System LEGO set day 1 because it was cool, but imagine an MCG set? Instant pre order

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
