Where were our cups?

Where were all the cups won by the MFC in the pre-game entertainment today? Is there any reason why our club did not take part? I am pretty sure every other club was there so why not us?

    Barrassi was out there, due to our drought we were up around the start. Would be hard to recognize as you must remember anyone holding one of our cups would look a fair bit older than there playing days. :lol:

    what year did they start handing out cups? because the afl only awarded 1 cup per club to represent every premiership they had won before cups were awarded. ie if they started giving them out in 1963 we would only have 2 cups, 1 for '64 and 1 for all the others...

    I was pretty sure they were done in alphabetical order. There were 87 cups or something like that. I remember hearing Hawthorn, Kangaroos, Port Power - thought we should have been in there......I know its been a while but we have won plenty of the damn things.

    Not only have we got plenty of cups - - but Melbourne was actually awarded the FIRST premiership cup in c1959, I think. Imagine the song and dance a club like Collingwood or Essendon would make if they had the first ever cup - it would have its own museum.... Very few MFC supporters would even know that we have the first. A shame.

    This raises a question: A few years ago, the AFL presented clubs with cups retrospectively with cups for all their premierships. The clubs had to cointribute finanically to the cost of them. B/c Carlton and melbourne were broke, they just said, 'These cups will be presented at a later date.' It's never happened and I can't establish why.

    Slightly off topic but a sad but interesting useless piece of trivia - the MFC doesn't actually own any cups as all of the premierships won was when the club was a part of the MCC who has ownership over them.

    The flags/cups were all won under the Melbourne Cricket Club Football Club banner n'est-ce-pas?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
