BANNER FOR JIMMY

[the real deelirium 8]

Hey All,

I'm a long time reader , first time poster on 'Land. I have however posted on 'ology for many years.

Last week there was post on Demonology about creating a banner that gives Jimmy a message about the inspiration he provides to the supporters of the MFC. The info below is what I have just posted on Demonology...................

Hado's suggestion about a banner for Jimmy (in the 'Prayers for Jimmy' topic), has led to discussions with other mad Demons supporters. We decided that a message of support to Jimmy, for all he has given us, was well and truely warranted.

So , I contacted the cheersquad. They have already made a few great plans.

I have also been able to get some unbelieveable support from a Melbourne based banner company. After explaining the general idea to them , they have come up with some fantastic ideas on how to make this work (Hado's banner would cost about 90k). They all happen to be mad keen Dees supporters as well.

They have done work for many sports organisations including Afl clubs. So as you can imagine, they are at the highest end of this industry.

I have contacted the club to see if they want to be a part of this, and a discussion is being held tonight. If the MFC get on board, it will probably be the final piece to make this fly.

It may require some level of fund raising, however , if everything goes the way it should, the end result would be a donation to MFC debt demolition and / or the Reach foundation.

Anyway , for now , would you all please have a think about your favourite 'Jimmy' moments and post them here.

The current proposal is number of banners, smaller than the Hado photo (but still quite large), showing a series of Jimmy special moments. It is planned for our home game against Essendon. It's our biggest home game coming up and Juniors 250th should be the week after.

I plan to keep the cheersquad up to date so that we have a coordinated effort.

Please PM me if you want to be involved in any way, or have other suggestions etc.

If people are interested in this , I will keep posting daily updates.

Ok. I'm still waiting for the MFC to say yes or no to the initial proposal.

Here is a little more of the plan :-

The banners will be made by a Melbourne business ' The Banner Lady'. Due to the significance of the banners and the fact that the company are all mad Dees supporters, they have thrown the whole company behind the idea.

Each banner will show a series of special moments from Jim's time with the MFC.

There will be several of them , and they will be substantial in size.

Trying to get it together for the home game against Essendon.

After their unveiling, the current plan is to send them back to The Banner Lady. They will be be cut into sections (each moment), and represented into a collectors item.

From here the plan is to sell them at auction or a special dinner. The proceeds will go to MFC Debt Demolition and maybe to the Reach Foundation.

If someone here has regular contact with Schwabby , would they please let him know about this proposal.

He is a Demonland member, you can look him up and PM him if no-one has a more direct contact. Good luck.

Cards - there has been alot of talks etc over the last 3 days . Getting the right balance of what is appropriate along with $$ etc has changed the scope and the final plan. Hopefully Monday I will be able to announce the final plan. Essendon game is still the plan. Even though it has changed from the original idea, I hope everyone can get involved and make it a day that shows Jim what an inspiration he is to all of us.

Cards - still waiting. Another meeting held today. A few parties need to be on-board to make it work. Tomorrow is the final day for all to agree, or it falls over. Basically, the alternative is probably unable to happen in the shorter time frame.

Hoping for good news.
