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!

Posted

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!'

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
