I would love to see a massive 40 metre long red and blue banner be made up with the words, "WE LOVE YOU JIMMY" written on it.

The banner could be unveiled in the crowd on the wing either before or during the Essendon game at the MCG (or both), like the banners they have in the soccer matches overseas.

It would be a great way of showing Jimmy and the football community our love and appreciation we all have for the great man.

Surely as supporters we could raise the funds independantly. I would assume we would need permission from the club and MCG to unveil it. Obviously it would be best to keep it a secret from Jimmy until the unveiling.

love it. Send an email to Cameron Schwab first and if you get the OK get some costings and then put it to the forum. You know what happened last time we raised money for a good cause!

This is a fantastic idea, maybe the size needs to be a little smaller, but no doubt a very very good idea.

Do it for jimmy. I cannot see the MFC or the MCC saying no, as long as all health and safety issues are covered.

33,000+ members sending love and wishes to our President. We are a great club getting better.

I'll buy a couple of rolls of crepe paper for this...

Seriously Haydo that is a great idea!!! It is a brilliant sight when done well. They have had something similar for previous grand finals where they drag the banner from the back of the crowd in the lower tier.

Health and safety... ppfftt it's fabric!

Cam S I'm sure you can sort this out as a mark of respect to one of the greatest ever Demons on the field and off it.

He is a member here. Haydo, you could just visit he's profile. Message (PM) him that way or get he's email there.

Good idea Haydo. Might want to speak to the appropriate person rep for the MCC/MCG at the G too.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
