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?

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.
