Black arm bands this weekend!

Featured Replies

All players, club officials and supporters at all footy matches played everywhere in Australia this weekend should wear black arm bands to mourn the death of our beloved game!

 
 

Wearing black arm bands is a way of showing respect for the death of a club great or friend.

As outraged as I am about the Viney decision, it does not come anywhere close to death.


I've got half a mind to come dressed in swathes of bubble wrap and a tutu. Can you picture me twirling delicately through the crowds as I try not to make contact with anyone around me?

How appropriate that this is the weekend when there will be a lot of pink stuff worn.

The game that Dimitriou inherited and swore to protect is no longer.

And hardly appropriate to make a political statement like this on a night where we want to spread awareness about breast cancer, and the thousands who die each year fighting for their lives in a hospital bed.


Black netball bibs with "DON'T FORGET TO PIROUETTE" on the front and back.

Please, please can someone make that into a sign/banner

As someone who has lost a relative and close friend to breast cancer I hope this thread is seriously taking [censored].. Stupid and taseless considering the this great cause far outweighs a kid missing out for two weeks.

Bit of respect.

Sorry, DD. No disrespect intended. However, the entire footy community is up in arms over this, and they are entitled to ensure the AFL gets the message loud and clear. I have no doubt that can be done, while still maintaining the integrity of the Pink Lady event.

I am all for it Vagg but lets not overshadow this great cause.

Maybe not this week as it will no doubt have a msg regarding breast cancer awareness, and depending on the outcome of the appeal, perhaps the players should run through that at the Tigers game?

this would be a great Idea to make for the week after this, selling the bibs at all games...

the front: Don't Forget

the back: TO PIROUETTE

PJ_12345 has suggested on 'changes...' thread that bubble wrap armbands would work. Funny, and to the point, and easy to do.


How about a sign that reads

'Don't think, D̶o̶ Pirouette!'

this would be a great Idea to make for the week after this, selling the bibs at all games...

the front: Don't Forget

the back: TO PIROUETTE

yep,like all these ideas.

its fortifying the club and going to bring in more members.{hopefully]

it could become our TS moneybags match.

Black armbands might rub Adam Goodes the wrong way...

Better stop the banners too.. someone might hit their head on it. Best the players just run around it and wave.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
