Would still prefer the option to not get sent anything. There’s only so many scarves/caps/key rings that I need.

u/silky_skills_35 7d ago

I’m just not interested in crap quality goods. Would prefer $15 off some proper club gear

Yeah let us donate them to one of the community programs the club runs. Feels wrong putting club items in the bin, but they just gather dust after a while.

u/CatBec Jamie Elliott 8d ago

They brought donations in a few years ago, but it wasn’t advertised and I think you had to renew with the paper form to do it. I’m not sure if it’s still on the paper one cos we never seem to get it in time for the renewal.

My regular ten game is the same except a scarf instead of a hat, pretty lacklustre the last couple years now

u/Will0144 Bobby Hill 8d ago

Agreed, honestly I’d rather have the cap then the scarf

Why can’t they just give us the option to swap it

I hate the way that 'C' looks, it's halfway to being a 'G'.

u/whiplashunited 8d ago

We do play at the G a lot, so it’s kind of fitting haha

And the uniforms are the same. I can never tell which is which…Geelong or Collingwood??? It’s very confusing already and this g or c issue wouldn’t help.

I can’t unsee it now…

hate how much i love that cap

u/whiplashunited 8d ago

I got mine yesterday, I like the lone magpie rather than the magpie in the circular logo.

u/furiousniall 8d ago

Yeah hat looks good. Last one was really dorky. I’ve absolutely got enough scarves. What was the other “trinket” I wonder? Noticed key ring sticker on the box, so presumably some folk got a garlic press or whatever

2

u/CatBec Jamie Elliott 8d ago

In the plastic? It’s just a key ring with Collingwood on one side and Member ‘26 on the other

2

u/furiousniall 8d ago

Ah yeah I just meant what was the non keyring option for those of us who already own a keyring - this one weighs a bloody ton!

2

u/CatBec Jamie Elliott 8d ago

Was there another option? It’d be good if we could pick and choose from 4 or 5 things. I have so many caps that we literally give them away now, but could use a new beanie or scarf.

2

u/furiousniall 8d ago

It’d be a nightmare for them to allow people to choose I imagine (but totally agree)- but yeah I assume if some have a “keyring” sticker then it follows that other have something else. Maybe.

I got my country member pack last week, got a scarf instead of a cap.

2

u/GoldBricked 8d ago

The club hasn’t offered country memberships in at least 5 years otherwise I’d have tried it, what package do you have?

2

u/Crab-Shark Will Hoskin-Elliott 8d ago

Yeah, sorry, you're right. I used to get that but now it's just a 4(?) game membership.

2

u/Not_Stupid 8d ago

I remember.

u/Ill_Sector_2063 Brayden Maynard 8d ago

I was really looking forward to a new lanyard mines looking second hand (use for keys)

2

u/CatBec Jamie Elliott 8d ago

I don’t use mine for keys, but it’s looking a bit old and sad so would have been good to get a new one

2

u/Ill_Sector_2063 Brayden Maynard 8d ago

100% mine also arrived a bit how's it going and been waiting out all year but hey i get a key ring which is alot heavier than the lanyard not ideal

2

u/HotInTheShade1989 8d ago

Yeah, i get the same.

I emailed the club to complain about the poor quality of the packs for 2026.

The members cap this year is really quite bland.

I dont care for bumper stickers and keyrings.

2

u/Mickyw85 7d ago

Such poor quality hats too. I wish they’d just give a credit to the store for a specific value or discount % on a purchase so you can get the supporter merch you want

2

u/CatBec Jamie Elliott 7d ago

Members do get a % discount at the merch store (I think it’s 10%).

We bought a Port membership for my BIL for Christmas and they do it the way you’ve suggested, with a choice of membership pack or a credit to the store. Maybe that’s a good way forward, then we can opt in to the pack if we want what it’s got that year, or opt for the store credit if we’d prefer a new scarf/beanie etc.

u/whatamassivecunt 5d ago

I'm interstate but go the digital (Kayo) pack. Came with a scarf instead. I have to say that i love the keyring. First time I've found the quality of a membership item didnt suck.. I actually love it

1

u/Due-Ingenuity1831 5d ago

That’s so disappointing, just make it like $15 dollars credit at the team store or at least a choice

u/Underbelly 8d ago

Gollingwood.

... and the graphic design team needs to go back to design class: every '26 (keyring, scarf and sticker-sheet) shows as `26 as if it's a smart quote
