Donate your old Melbourne guernsey to the Lord Mayor's Charitable Fund at this years game (I assume at the MELBOURNEfc Megastore), and you'll get a $20 discount on THIS years 150th Special Edition guernsey.

Great way to give something to charity, spread the Melbourne love, and pick up one of this year's jumpers.

Also - two players will be in attendance to SIGN your new guernseys from 1.15pm - 1.45pm before the game on Sunday.

THIS IS A ONCE OFF ONLY FOR THIS SUNDAY'S GAME.

    As long as its wearable - they'll accept anything I think.

    Mine has the Tooheys New logo on it. It's so warm so I'd be very reluctant to give it up!

    Why the hell would you trade-in an old Melbourne guernsey?!?!?!

    I have more than 10 of them and would not trade them for anything less than a premiership!

    There is so much history and each guernsey has it's own memories.... Not too mention blood, sweat and tears (Used to punch on a bit after footy)

    Trading them in is a horrible thought!

    You would have to kill me before you got my Rodney Grinter guernsey!!!

    SAME.

    What is the charity doing with the old ones?

    I still have my old one from 1987. It's got number 2 on the back (of course) and was the only jumper that featured the old VFL emblem with our current colours. I'm not sure I could bear to part with it. (not that I would actually squeeze into it anymore) I assume people will still be able to buy the new guernsey at full price and still get it signed?

    same here ,had no lgos though, just number 1 , o dwyer

    Haha I had one of these as well. Think mine might have been the old royal blue with just a vfl logo and number 1 on the back, was a long time ago now.

    I'm the same as most here and am reluctant to part with my old favourites. What are the chances they'd take training guernseys, I have one of the old bright orange Fila ones I picked up on the cheap when we shifted over to Asics?

    I was wanting to add a 150th guernsey to my collection, preferably a match worn one from the afl auctions site but we don't seem to be auctioning any, might have to buy one straight off the shelf.

    i got the new clash guernsey last week and the 2008 scalf...

    i dont really see the point in this either , why dont they just have some players there and when u buy ur new one u can get it signed and get 20% off on the day

    I think it's a great idea. It encourages us to buy the 150 year guernsey, it also gives something to charity, plus it gets all of those old Melbourne jumpers onto people around the city.

    Supporters win = cheaper 150 guernsey

    Charity wins = more clothes to keep people warm

    MFC wins = sell more 150 guernsies + have more exposure/supporters with kids wearing Melbourne jumpers around the place.

    I really like the idea and will probably be bringing down all the jumpers that don't have any personal value.

    I only have the one jumper. Whats the new one worth full price?

    I have one from 1997. It's been washed so much the red has turned to pink. No s***.

    Hopefully the club will be able to donate a heap of jumpers to charity tomorrow, as well as sell a few hundred more "150 Year" guernseys in the process.

    Get down there tomorrow.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
