Very interesting! Does it have Jaguar on the back? I might've missed it but thought their sponsorship was due to expire at the end of 2021. Might just be that they've re-signed but not announced it yet?

That looks fantastic! I still need to get my premium poster framed, where did you get that done?

My victory pack arrived in the mail today and at a quick glance: The GF is a DVD, not blu ray The GF has the commentary options of Channel 7, Triple M, 3AW, and SEN The season highlights disc runs for 1.5 hours and has someone hosting it, reflecting on the season, and a sit-down with Jack Viney before starting to go in to the highlights from each round Looks like a great package of material in my opinion, exactly what I was after!

Couldn't agree more!

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).

Just got my email (just after 4pm). Did you get one in the end?

That's correct, I believe it's free shipping on orders over $100.

Agreed re speaking up and writing in I think another big shift in this issue compared with previous years is that white is clearly not a requirement for more and more clubs - Essendon (red kit), Richmond (yellow kit) and now West Coast (royal blue/yellow kits) and Brisbane (red/yellow kits) are cases in point. How can white possibly be a requirement anymore? Royal blue option plus a red option of our same traditional jumper design would tick off any potential clashes and meet the same requirements as the above four clubs.

Red option plus a royal blue option would cover all bases - can't think of any team we would go close to "clashing" with if we had these two plus our home jumper to choose from. West Coast have done a similar thing for 2017.

Haha I suppose so, although that's why I was careful to put "clash" in inverted commas. Don't believe we need one but if we must, this would be my ideal.

Agreed, it's fantastic! Will definitely be purchasing one. I actually still have a red with navy monogram one which was used as a training jumper around 1993 (still has the "pioneer homes" sponsorship on it) - if not for the AFL it would be the perfect "clash" guernsey.

Anyone know if we're continuing with New Balance? From memory we had a 3 year deal starting in 2011.

I think only Anzac Day and Queens Birthday are category A games - this one is a category B. If you're referring to guest passes that get you in to the MCC reserve as whole, then you could comfortably buy them on the night at the gate. I've been to the last few Hawks/Cats games at the G with Hawthorn mates and have never needed to pre-purchase their guest passes. Balcony or long room passes on the other hand you would definitely need to pre-book for this size game, and I can see on the MCC site that they have already been fully allocated. Hope that helps.

All we need is our home jumper and two "clash" jumpers - one inverted (ie. navy yoke with red) and one with the royal blue. With those options I can't see who we would clash with, and we keep our red and blue without the need for white.

Also love that they raise these issues like they're new stories. Would've been nice to have the spotlight on more than just our club over the past eight months.

Ah yep fair enough. Still, i'd like to see the tally if they'd spent 5 years down the bottom and we'd played in a couple of GFs. Start getting it together on field and we'll go 40k+. Decent effort this year all things considered.

And yet we're still ahead of St.Kilda (not to mention North and the Bulldogs)... imagine the numbers we could get if we had some sustained on-field success...

Yeah noticed that as well, doesn't look good......

Might need to add Robert Walls to the growing list of king goose contenders.

I was level 1 on the wing (MCC) and the emotion was phenomenal. Everyone was going crazy (could hardly hear myself screaming) and the joy on people's faces was amazing to see and be a part of - those are the sort of moments you go every week for. Must say, even the Dons fans sitting around us I was impressed with - had about half a dozen of them either patting me on the back or quietly congratulating me. I felt like there was so much joy and emotion that they couldn't help but feel (in a small way) happy for us. A night that I will not forget.

So many great moments but my favourite was glancing up at the big screen and seeing Neeld and his troops jumping around/embracing. Still gives me goosebumps thinking about it... the raw emotion and realisation that we'd WON.

Agree with you Nascent - I'd like to see red and royal blue as the main clash jumper, and a third inverted home jumper (ie navy yoke with red) for away games against the Dogs (won't happen but I can dream).

I'm a big fan of it too, really easy and useful. Just checked for updates to get rid of the logo - also can't see anything available.

I can't remember ever seeing a free kick count as uneven as 20-1. Apalling

I'm in (G-rad)
