Protest for Jack....

Featured Replies

I think before the game as soon as the clock strikes 2pm. Everyone should bring a packet and pelt them from everywhere!!

Yeah better do it before play starts or else we might get 3 weeks jail for trying to intentionally cause injury to a player...

 

If you want a visible protest that is not over the top, how about when the coin is tossed every Melbourne supporter stand up and turn his back on the ground until the game starts and do the same thing for the whole 1/4 and 3/4 breaks. Also we don't buy anything at the ground so that their figures are affected. I can tip off a few mates in the media who will be on to it.

Yup not bad Redleg....I might do it for the rest of the season..

It will only be effective if several thousand people do it. You would have to leak it to the media so other Demon fans know what is being planned.

Marshmallow tossing?

Oh that's easily high, negligent, rough, excessive force and behind play. 10 weeks. Minimum.

Campbell Brown is all over this one.

im just not going to this game.... too [censored] off..


A better option would be just to wear a black band seen as football has officially "died"

Hmmm. I'm not sure I'd be too keen this weekend. I imagine the players will be wearing black arm bands out of respect for Chris's late dad.

Didn't they have them last weekend for that reason?? If not then you are dead right.

 

the first 8 threads on the board are about this issue, this is one of the most intensely discussed issues I can remember for us as supporters

i really thought he would get off

Yeah. Maybe I got it wrong.

nice pun...

Anyway, the best one is to copy the Carey stuff. Wayne Carey's game for Adelaide against the Roos, the most noticeable banners were those that were hung off the end of the third tier, tied to the poles at the top.

Simple way to do it.

- Get a bedsheet and some poster paint.

- Paint your message

- Tie the corners of the bedsheet to the poles at the game.

You would need to get to the game earlyish so you got the seats to tie it there though.

String a bunch of those up and everyone will notice.

It would never happen, what would be great to see is a gentleman's agreement between the two sides to not lay a tackle at all in the first quarter... a preview of where the game is headed with such decisions?

Why dont we pelt Dimwits house in Toorak with Marshmallows????

Since seeing this idea posted on another thread here, I have been posting it everywhere I can think of, and apparently the HS newsdesk are aware of it now. So, everyone wear one to the game this week, because there will be people watching! I will be taking some black duct tape to the game this week, and trying to get people to wear it. If everyone did the same, we might get some attention. Although, as the jacket I wear to the footy is dark blue (well, duh of course it is!), the black might not stand out, so I need to work out what to do about this. I have pushed it on the Free Demon Jack webpage, where there are supporters of other clubs involved, and hopefully some of the more fired up ones will do the same, but I would say that all the attention will be at our game. :lol:

I'd be in for this one as well.

Would have been genius had it been intended. It actually took me a minute to see what you meant :lol:

I'm starting to like this Idea.

I live in Sydney, and would love to be there to join, but I love this idea and it would be so amazing to see on tele. Imagine the embarrassment the occupants of the ivory tower would feel. They hate bad publicity so much, it would be genius.

I think the cheer squad banner should read "Bad luck Jack. The game's not fair. We'll see you back".

Of course, it refers to Jack Grimes.

Why dont we pelt Dimwits house in Toorak with Marshmallows????

This was my line line of thinking but I'd rather we pelted Dimwit himself with marshmallows .

He's single handedly destroying the game since he started bleating about mothers of juniors when he took over .

Football is/was a modern day gladiator sport FFS and the use of aggression was 1 of the main drawcards both for those who played and those who watched .

As for the other stuff like pelting the ground etc , unless we get it out into the media the excercise will be a fizzer .


i want to see ricky bobby, smash out the handcuff salute every time he kicks a goal haha

turning our back idea is ace!

Sorry Maurie, but it's becoming plain, why we haven't Won one, since ''64...

 

I reckon a protest is fine if we're inclined but I would be against anything during play or at a quarter time break due to the potential to impact on players. Before (between warm ups and players running out) or half time would be the best options IMO.

Go to a game in Sydney and do your Bit... for the game. SCG, Sat night, 7.10PM. If you believe it,,, It's on.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
