There's now a pattern on the front of the red part of the guernsey... for some reason.

It was on the Club’s instagram - I’m thinking something to do with Grilld?

Hey gang, I'm the video guy at Zero Hanger and they put together a Best 23 (the journos picked it, but I commented on it in this video: https://youtu.be/fOY5H9zcwPc)

Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone can help me understand if it is worthwhile purchasing one of the 3 dual membership packages if I’m already an MCC member. For context I’m a provisional MCC member which is relatively restricted in terms of getting tickets to category 1 games, am I better off purchasing a dual membership ($109) or simply buying general admission tickets to category 1 games.

Thanks.

Well done for winning Australian of the Year! ❤️💙

I’ll take signs wherever I can find them 😬

Hope he plays round 1!

Every MFC fan knows the drill: it’s not just a scarf, it’s a relic. Outsiders think it smells like defeat, but we know it’s marinated in victory and euphoria since 25th September, 2021. Hawks fans? They wouldn’t understand. Wear it proudly, crust and all. What’s your excuse?

We were happily cruising along day by day without elimination until a comment garnered a record 700 upvotes (and tbh I couldn’t disagree with it) - this 2022 change has annoyed me - and inspired me to reflect.

An Ode to Reflection: The Demon’s Red and Blue

Once proud we stood, the red and blue, A timeless emblem, bold and true. From Demon hearts to history’s page, A classic jumper graced the stage.

But greed’s cold whisper—corporate hue, Twisted the soul of our royal blue. A Zurich patch, so out of place, Disrupted tradition’s steady grace.

The clash of tones, the awkward glare, Drew whispers: “How could they dare?” A jarring sight, a travesty born, The Demon’s pride was left forlorn.

Now cast aside, eliminated, The jumper’s fate premeditated. Yet through the loss, a chance remains, To mend these wounds, to break the chains.

Reflect, dear club, on this mistake, Restore the bond, for legacy’s sake. A clearer blue, a truer brand, To once more unite the Demonland.

For in defeat, redemption calls, To right the wrongs, to raise the walls. Let Melbourne’s red and blue resound, In flawless form, forever crowned.

This serves as both a lament and a rallying cry for Melbourne to return to its roots and embrace its heritage.

Five experienced veterans in Melbourne's AFLW side, with 324 games played cumulatively between them, have extended their contracts. Paxy Paxman, Tayla Harris and Gabby Colvin have all signed one-year contracts, whilst Sarah Lampard and Lauren Pearce have extended until at least the end of season 2026. Aimee Mackin will remain on the inactive list, meanwhile, while she continues her rehabilitation from an ACL injury sustained in mid-2024 in Ireland.

I'm a New Balance fanboy so always keeping an eye on sales. The 2025 guernsey looks to be largely the same, but with no IG sponsor and the Zurich logo is smaller.
