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!!!

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.

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.

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w
