Demon supporters holding up HSBC signs?

This happened before half-time, all over the ground. Why do our supporters think they will win a prize holding up the opposition sponsor's sign? Why would a hawthorn sponsor choose a demon supporter to win whatever prize is on offer? Why do we need to fund the Hawthorn revenue stream?

    We should all stand on our seats and block the view of the desperate banner (edit: word deleted by me)

    I'd hold one up for $5,000

    I might even donate half to the MFC if I win...

    having said that, i wasn't waving one of those signs around like a tool on Sunday...

    I wondered where all those Bloody sign all of a sudden appeared.

    Hawthorn look like a bag of Twisties running around the Field. Putrid colours they are!

    That's the point - holding one up WONT get you 5000. It just makes you look stupid.

    Demon Rob, you can say that again!

    Reminded of that horrid idea we had against the Pies, hold up your team's colours to see how many fans were there. The crowd was pretty similar to the Essendon game last year, 75-80% opposition

    Might appear dam stupid to some ... However, what a great idea for the sponsor.

    Its such a good promotion it even gets coverage on the oppositions website .... yah just another marketing gimmick that wont work some would say.

    Bunch of Monkeys as far as I'm concerned. Good to see the Dorks fans near the players race were more interested in a 1:25,000 shot at $500 than applauding their team off at half time. Looked like they could have used a fluffer after the first half as well.

    It's disappointing to hear our fans holding them up, but we need to start up something like this with Hankook or Kaspersky. I've mentioned it in another thread, it might just get a few more Dees along to the games.

    It also helps get bums on seats.

    How many extra supporters do you think would come to a game if they had a chance to win $5k, Or would the money be better donated to the club?

  • Quote

    You honestly think that there are people out there who went to the football because they have a about a one in 10-20,000 chance of winning $5,000?

    If it was a melbourne home game, and our sponsors were offering that..it would be pretty good odds!!!

    As strange as it sounds, all these things help.

    Just to demonstrate....

    General Ticket: $20 of which we get say 10%, = $2/head, so 2500 band wagon supporters required to break even.

    You might be onto something, but it would need to be done early in the season in conjunction with a membership drive, i.e., Hold up <sponser sign> + your membership to win.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
