Drones delivered more than just food in the eastern suburbs on Saturday afternoon.
In a partnership between Wing and the Ringwood Football Netball Club, drones delivered the whistle and the celebration for club hero Declan Hill at the Redbacks home game.
Club vice-captain Declan Hill played his 200th senior game, and is only the 11th player in club history to reach this milestone.
He first debuted in 2009 as a 17-year-old and has notched up 403 goals for the club.
The certificate delivery was made by Wing, a drone company which partnered with Doordash to deliver food from Eastland in July.
Wing spokesperson Jesse Suskin said there had already been "a lot of deliveries" made by the drones already.
"A lot of people have tired at the drones and many have made multiple orders.
"We have received great feedback on them already."
