I would of much rathered the scarf than a tie (ill prolly never wear) but probably good buisness sense on the admin side knowing alot of people will be purchasing a scarf. I do feel a bit ripped of tho

[RedsoxMan 144]

Scarf is better than a tie, bit in the end , it would be better for the club to keep the money. How many scarves do you need ?

[gOLLy 401]

Just a new one that GLOWS 2008 maybe with 150th birthday on it or somthin (would I be asking to much to have"Oldest football club in the world" embroided on it aswell)

One for each window of the car

[gOLLy 401]

what is it you would rather for "other"

[DeeMfc 621]

what is it you would rather for "other"

Commemorative 150th pin, MFC bar mat, MFC golf/sports towel...... anything really.

I have enough scarves for every window of both cars and as others have said, i would never wear the tie.

[Roger Mellie 3,530]

Agree DeeMfc - they can mix it up a bit - baseball cap, scarf, trident (with which to spear pie, toig, blue and bummer supporters with)

[Jaded No More 58,207]

A tie does seem like an odd choice. Would you wear a tie to the football?

I know us females are getting a throw of some sort, which I guess will be slightly more useful.

I agree that in our 150th year, it would have been nice to receive some sort of commemorative merchandise, be it a scarf or otherwise.

I will now have to purchase a new scarf, because there is no way I'm wearing my 2007 one... BAD omen right there!

A cap would be great - going to Sydney games at the SCG you get the feeling of being severely out numbered (Doh - well obviously) but it is so in your face given the majority of the crowd have their bright red Swanies hats on. We could do a great navy/red baseball cap style.

Can't see myself wearing a wrap to the footy but I guess I should reserve my judgement until it arrives!

Anyone know what they are offering the youngies - my kids have got the scarf the last few years but I can't imagine my girls wanting a wrap or my young boys a tie!

[biggestred 4,320]

i cant wait to have the tie.

i get into the bag of fruit once or twice a year.....

itd be sick!!!

plus im 24

when im 84 i can walk into the long room with it on......awesome

and when we win the flag

ill wear it around my head rambo style for a month

Haha. Disturbing!

For anyone who is interested in buying a new scarf for next year, the club is selling a members only 2008 scarf for $25, or you can pick up a non-year specific scarf for like $10 from the Melbourne Shop.

And because I'm so nice, I'll even provide you with the relevant links:

2008 Scarf

Other Scarves

Remember kids, shop at the Melbourne store so that all the money goes to our club!

And after all that, if they don't offer me a job, they are just foolish :D

[DeeM 42]

i have sooooooooo many melbourne scarves there coming out of my A*S. off the top of my head i can count 8-9. A tie i havent got and would be nice. but yes it is our 150th maybe go a bit wild here and do something a bit more than tie/scarf.

[Paul Gardner 6]

I think they should offer more choice, maybe out of 4 or 5 items.

Maybe choose from / scarf / tie / cap / MFC casual belt / or beanie/.

[Rogue 585]

I thought it was good that they mixed it up a bit.

Most guys will have need to wear a tie once in a while, even if they don't wear one for work.

As others have said, many members will have a house full of scarves already.

I was of the understanding that members under 15 recieved a beanie with the mascot on it.

[deanox 8,645]

i too would like them to mix it up a little. BUT from the club point of view, mixing it up probably means reduced sales at the membership shop, as we dont have to buy a hat, scarf, tie beanie etc. so it works oth ways. appeasing the members, selling merchandise...

sew all your scarves together and make a bed cover...looks great !!!

[Gorgoroth 12,331]

I'd rather a scarf than the tie, but a hat could be ok if it was a decent hat that looked ok.

Great idea ! I have that many I could make a king size maybe I,ll just pull out my old one that mum made u know the old ones that came down to the ground

I might evan pull out the old duffel coat Nah it wouldnt fit !!!

[travelskerricks 0]

my bloke sewed all his scarves together (while sitting in front of the tv hour after hour last cricket season) to make a poncho, which he wears to the footy when it's cold. mildly embarrassing, but pretty great.

Except they've just mixed it up by veering away from the scarf

[Mousey 47]

just a question regarding interstate membership-

The one game we get in our state ( QLD) gabba game, do they plonk us somewhere random or do we get to choose where we sit cause i usually take along a group of mates and like to sit next to them .

Thanks guys

[Mousey 47]

no one?

ok

[Clintosaurus 6,475]

Just paid my membership. Looking forward to getting the tie. My boss is a Filth member and has a tie (which I hate looking at), so now I will be able to wear mine. Got enough scarves. A cap as well would have been good. In 2006 I got a scarf and a cap - I'm an interstate member. Did everyone get both that year?

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Would love a new scarf, not interested in the tie.
