Maybe Tony Hausknecht saw the thread on Demonland...

Correct me if Im wrong, but I think Tony is the one who was behind the idea in the first place on Demonology and here.

Congratulations on getting this off the ground. Although not the original idea which was first floated, it was a great move!

Does this mean that the original idea was not accepted by MFC/MCC. Does anyone know. The worse thing will be if only a few people get behind it and it is an abject failure which will be really embarassing for the club and Jimmy. It would be better that it doesnt happen or happens at a later time when there is more time to organise it.

I believe the original idea was to create one big banner all about Jimmy. Correct me if I am wrong guys.

It doesn't matter - the thing is the respect and love we want to return to Jimma.

Yes it was but the MCC had issues with that idea I think so it morphed into banners with a Jimmy best moments on them. We have been waiting on a meeting with MFC on Friday for news but still there is nothing. I havent checked with Demonology site but will do now.

It sure is. Great move by Tony, he should be really congratulated.

Thanks longsuffering.

No nothing but a link to the MFC site. It is a pity that it couldnt be kept in house so that it would be a surprise to Jimmy on the day. I suppose now that it is "out" we should be encouraging everyone to do their bit even if it is to wear a number "11" on their backs, fronts anywhere just to show our support for Jimmy in his fight.

As I understand it this is an opportunity for ALL MFC supporters to say thank you to Jimmy for his efforts in turning the clubs fortunes around. And show him our support in general. Especially the Kids account the Reach Foundation.

So it is now our chance to show our Club Champion and Club Savior how much we appreciate his efforts in doing so. So again please LETS ALL GET ON BOARD with this on Sunday.

I believe there will be a professionaly made banner on match day. And more publicity to follow as I undersatnd it.

GO DEE'S

Well done Tony :)

Cheers mate!

Hi All,

I’m finally able to give you some further information.

As others have eluded to , $$ and other items like logistics, OH&S and getting the appropriate mix for Jim , has changed the original idea floated by Haydo. In fact it changed several times as each of the issues was dealt with.

We have ended up with a smaller, but excellent quality banner from ‘The Banner Lady’. To allow everyone to contribute and make the day bigger and better, everyone is being asked to make their own banner to Jim or the MFC. The club liked the idea and have decided to promote our banner and the significance of it on the website (link to article :- Make your own banner.

There will also be 5000 placards available and the cheersquad will be onboard with their contribution.

Over the next couple of days there will be more media around this so the momentum will grow.

To make this day work, we need involvement from as many people as possible. SO PLEASE GET INVOLVED AND MAKE THIS INTO A GREAT DAY FOR JIMMY.

Remember you have 4 days to make a banner. A great idea if you have kids to keep them occupied while on school holidays. So get out the old bed sheets , crepe paper , paints , textas , whatever you can , to show your support for Jim and the mighty Dees.

If that's not enough to get you motivated, then remember the club is kicking in $250 worth of merchandise for the best banner.

I will add more in the coming days.

Thanks

Hey All,

How are those banners going ?

Just spoke to the cheersquad , and they have a couple of great banners etc planned.

This will be a great day if everyone gets involved. It could even be used as a launching pad for even more events if there is good participation.

Lots happening at the club at the moment. Time to show how much the Red n Blue means to you.

Cheers

Hope Jim's footy show appearance inspired you all for Sunday.

We have decided to leave the banner photos and other stuff for everyone to see Sunday.

The Jimmy banner will spend most of the time in the cheersquad, so you may have to make your way around to the Punt Road end if you want to have a decent look at it.

Bring your banner , old Jimmy jersey , paint your hair and face red and blue , whatever you can do to thank Jim and be part of the day.

Cheers our boys as loud as you can when they run out Sunday. Sing the song with what voice you have left when we win. Then celebrate with a pint of Guinness for Jim and the MFC.

Go Dees.

Just to let you know more details.

The cheersquad have made a couple of great banners and messages to Jim.

Outside most gates (not sure about gate 4) there will be placards available. They have various messages on them.

Our Jimmy banner will probably spend most of the day in the cheersquad. So if you want a decent look at it , head around to the Punt Road end goals.

We are hoping Jim will give an interview possibly before the game.

Judging on the banners will happen up to half time, with the winner announced at either 1/2 or 3/4 time. The winner will hopefully get their banner up on the big screens.

Hope to see lots of banners and everone in Red and Blue.

Go Jimmy. Go Dees.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
