I am about to order all the full seasons games plus finals from Sanity at $144 bucks! The finals are in Blu ray!🤩
Only the grand final is.
(And it might be cheaper at EzyDVD.)

On to membership year number 15 (joined at the end of 2007)...
And speaking of which, I just noticed there's a 'reward and recognition' scheme on the MFC site.
https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/reward-recognition
Is this new? (I can't recall having seen it before...)

Sorry to cut in but when did you all receive your Premium Posters?
I still haven’t received mine and have had no reply to my enquires from the Herald Sun Shop.
I got mine on about 8 November after I emailed them at [email protected] (the web contact form doesn't work)
(Which reminds me, I need to chase up where the mug I ordered is. They said it had shipped but it's still out of stock on the Hun shop site...)

Ordered the Victory pack from MFC store and backed it up with the 2021 Premiers high light Blue Ray pack from DVDLand, should see me through to our next flag in 2022.
Erm - I think only the Grand Final is on Blu-ray. Everything else is just DVD...

A fascinating thing for me with those comments is how quickly their supporters seemed to concede that they were done. As early as after Trac's goal at which point we were only a couple of goals up. I only started to relax about 4 goals into the last quarter!
Those of us who were there on ANZAC Day 1992 know that the Chris Sullivan Line is real; only at 8 goals up can one start to breathe easy...

I’m not sure if this has been covered before but - DVD Land is selling a complete MFC season DVD box set for $149.95 containing every game of the season including the grand final in high def. and special commentary.
Does anyone have it?As the proud owner of 3 blu ray players (one used to play very high quality music over hi fi system) I think I may invest in this set!
Not out until December (and cheaper at https://www.ezydvd.com.au/DVD/AFL-Premiers-2021-Melbourne-Complete-Season-Collection-Limited-Release/dp/6225238 to boot)...
(What's not clear either is whether the whole lot is in HD, or just the grand final. I suspect the latter because it's a 27 disc set. I imagine this would comprise 22 H&A round DVDs, QF DVD, PF DVD, GF DVD, GF Blu-ray and highlights DVD...)

what do you mean by high definition? The dvd should be 1080 which is hi-def, The blue-ray would probably just be 4k upscaled from 1080 as I don't think there would be 4K cameras at the ground.
EDITED: correction DVD best format would be 720HD and heavily compressed. It could also be less than that. I think the cameras at the ground would be 1080HD so the 4K blue-ray would still be upscaled from 1080 but the quality would still be much greater than the DVD
DVD is always 720x576i SD maximum (US DVDs are 720x480i SD). The Grand Final DVD is no exception to this.
The Blu-ray of the Grand Final should be 1920x1080p HD (so a step up from what was broadcast which is 1920x1080i).
There's no 4K Blu-ray proposed as far as I can see (even though I'd like that)...

For the Bullies it was 😀
It was.
The Doggies (and Geelong before them) were the Titanic. The Demons were the iceberg...

Happened to tune in just as Harmes was bursting through to kick to Fritsch. Good timing!

A big 👍 for the Demon Shop who sent out a replacement for my Premiers record that had the torn cover. It was sent yesterday and arrived today… No fighting required, and a painless change. 😎
(My Herald Sun order apparently has shipped because the mug came back into stock. They sent it Express Post but no sign of it so far…)

My son got the Red and Blue poster today (Queensland) and I'm waiting on the foil.
Darn it. I've sent an email off to the Hun shop to see if they'll cancel and refund the mug (which is out of stock on their site)...
-
Is anyone else still waiting for their Mark Knight limited edition poster (the red and blue one)?
All these reports of shipping are making me nervous (I'm worried that my last minute decision to throw a mug into the order might be causing issues...)

not so sure he was trying to pass to gus
Gus pointed to where he wanted the ball kicked (like Gawny against Geelong in R23). And Bowser placed it beautifully...

I hadn't noticed Daniel's reaction to Oliver's goal before: hands out 'how do we deal with that?!?'...

I got one order from the Demon shop the other day (wool scarf and beanie, premiership polo and cap).
Waiting on another order from the MFC shop (another cap, Premiers record, sticker, magnet, 2 x can coolers, 2 x mouse mats), and a Herald Sun order (1 x limited poster, 3 x regular posters, and a mug).

I feel so dumb: I don’t get this.
The interchange was implemented after 1964, while the medisub was only introduced this year (allowing for the 23rd player to claim a medal)...

FYI I messaged Carlton Draught on Facebook and they came back yesterday saying they won't be doing the cans 😪 They said they don't have intellectual property rights to be able to produce them this year (which I take to mean Furphy won't let it happen under our sponsorship arrangement).
Carlton Draught? Pffft...
A nice premiership shiraz is more in style...

so what of TMAc next year?
Was superfluous on GF day
Will be interesting to see if they try Weideman playing alongside Brown next year. Would be good to start building him up...

Just watched the GF replay…again! 😍❤️💙
His work rate was impressive, I missed observing it in the first three replays I watched but wow he worked his bum off in the GF!
The way he was working full back trying to spoil JJ's mark in Q3 was a genuine 'WTF?' moment in the granny. Really impressive!

Yup - along with a Herald Sun glossy publication. (It's also available from the MFC shop for 10% off...)

It doesn't matter whether you use the Blu-ray player or the TV to do upscaling - there's still only a 720x576i picture to work with. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear through upscaling.
Far better to just watch the replays through afl.com.au (or through the AFL app if you need to AirPlay/Chromecast to the big screen) which are 1. free and 2. 1280x720p...
(As an aside, the Herald Sun shop finally got my mug to me 😄)
