I’m more worried about his socks and sandals get up, than the red backed jumper……

Not sure if this is the right place for it, but heard a good little interview this morning with the guy who engraves the premiership cup each year. He is one of only 2 engravers left in the country that do all their work by hand, with chisels etc, no power tools at all. Very impressive when you look at some of the detailing in the lettering on the cup. Bit of a worry though for the future, when this guy eventually retires. I love this time of year with all the little GF details. The patch, the inside stories about the cup and the medals etc.

I really hope they are back to their bigger size, last years ones just didn’t look right

Confirmation of no red-back for Melbourne, as was expected

Patch doesn’t fully cover the existing logo in that Dogs pic.

Why was there even any suggestion that this was going to be the case?

The AFL already announced kits for the game and Melbourne is, by all rights, the "home" team.

 

[MIKE85]

Surely the AFL logo is the same size on every clubs jumper?? Why does it cover the Dees one, but not the dogs?? Also, the rubber patch is trash, bring back the felt and stitched red under the AFL lettering

All logos should be the same size, but due to poor attention to detail and sublimation/printing inconsistencies, this isn't always the case. Just take a look at the AFL logo on St Kilda's shorts this year...it was almost the same size as it appears on the guernsey.

First time we’ve ever had team names painted on the field in a GF?

It will be logos. You can kind of see the stencil of the remainder of the dogs logo

Both pretty good but I'm not quite sure about that Demon head. I wouldn't call it scary but maybe just a bit... creepy?

 

[seaforthswan]

The WB patch not fully covering shits me.
On the field, WB logo before Melbourne (1st in ranking + alphabetically) shits me.

Mark Knight is a shocking comic artist.

Going full SANFL, love it.

I just wasn't sure what you were getting at with your comment. The team logos and (along with the) names have been on the ground in GFs for years, and even in the picture you can see the bulldog logo stenciled out like The Victorian pointed out, and a bit of the red from it too

Seconded, I've never really taken a liking to any poster he has done. Sure, you could argue WEG's drawing were too simple, but Mark's are overkill

These ones though, marginally better than the others.

you weren’t sure what I was getting at with my comment? Are you thick? I saw team names in a screengrab on Twitter, posted it here and asked if something like this had been done before in a Grand Final. I didn’t inspect the photo with a magnifying glass to see if there was a logo stencil before posting here. Not sure what else there is to get.
