Protest for Jack....

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

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...

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

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 pissed off..

As has been said already - don't let your anger at the AFL stop you from supporting the MFC, or more specifically the boys on the field.

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.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

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.

I'd be in for this one as well.

[dee-luded 2,959]

I still reckon we just pelt the ground with marshmallows.

I'm starting to like this Idea.

[Kento80 83]

nice pun...

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

[Kento80 83]

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.

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 .

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

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

turning our back idea is ace!

[Striker475 696]

get the marshies out

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

[diesel 420]

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.
