They didn’t really have any signs it was a replica. I just managed to notice by a thing they had on their desk. I hope nobody was fooled like us

Just wondering, what was the purpose of the replica cup?

So if I have the email and discount but not the card it’s a possibility it’s still on its way?

Are they not sending out membership cards this year? I got my discount and welcome email, but still no pack. Granted I know they want to move to digital membership but I’d rather not if I have the option. So is it over?

An ex of mine is spewing he renewed his 3 game membership early, now it’s the price it was 5 years ago

Had a wonderful day. Went with dad, my brothers and their families. Really lovely day. I saw the grand final with dad but this was the first with my brothers. Although I know it off by heart, still cheering like it was the first time (felt a bit silly.) The presentation felt a bit artificial but I do like that they do it for us. I was so glad that all of us (father, brothers, nieces and nephews) all got their photo with the cup. We got the photo with the replica cup and naively thought it was the real one. We were ready to go, but then we saw the line. We realised it was for the other cups. Almost didn’t go as only the 1959, 1960 and 1964 ones are authentic. Since the line wasn’t too bad, we decided what the hey. Sure enough we get in and see it’s a 2021 cup. Our first reaction is: huh? So we get our photo all together. Got a bit suspicious when brother is told to “keep his hands off.” Not sure what’s going on, we go back to the other cup. After some searching, we finally see where it says it’s a replica. We were totally fooled. I would have been horrified if we’d realised we’d only got a photo with a replica cup. Where I was we were caught in a wind pocket. Unfortunately I only wore my demons gurnsey with jeans, so I started getting freezing. By the second quarter I was so cold, I didn’t know how I would cope. Luckily my older brother is a true gentleman and let me wear his jumper, even though it was like a tent on me. All in all a great day. Can’t wait to do it again next year. Hoping we still have a family day pre-season.

It’s go time

They won’t let you take a photo with the cup but will allow you to take a photo of it? Do a selfie with the cup in the background. Problem solved 👌

Come on one of the biggest chances for revenue. Don’t spoil it for people who can’t afford to take the day off to attend

Hoping he recovers. We’ve lost too many Melbourne legends

There were complaints from Bulldogs fans that some of our handballs weren't punched. After reviewing it l do see that some were questionable. But the fact is they had some that should have been reviewed that weren’t and they fail to even mention that. There was that goal the Fritch kicked that I thought was out of bounds on the full, but was thrown in. Having said that, I still think they got away with more than we did

Ah I read that wrong. I though it said you may not

Really? Do they consider people have to work the next day?

I’m betting there won’t be photos with the cup. This will be insane crowds

Unrelated: I think we finally found a worthy successor to number 31

And maybe in our alternative gurnsey just for something different

I’d still like to play some different teams in our next grand finals. Just for the hey of it

Another pointless fact: bulldogs are the 5th team we’ve beaten in the grand final

👏

Don’t worry I’ve got my friends to contact the club and I’ve reported it

Pretty sure that’s illegal. People paid money to buy this

I was so elated/tipsy, I’m surprised it was even coherent.

Got our tickets yesterday. I’m guessing it will be a full house if the dogs celebration was anything to go by.

Premiership jumper on the way. Only my gurnsey to go

Don’t forget David Neitz
