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.

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!!!

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 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.

Yep - its $100 normally, so $80 this week with trade-in ONLY.

Get down there, there are only positives in doing this.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
