Scarves binned - not a good look


Rohan

Recommended Posts

I just phoned the club (and tweeted) expressing my disappointment. They assured me that my feedback will be passed on and that it will be looked into. The cynics might say that that is as far as it will get, and they may be right if I'm the only one to contact them...so, I suggest that if you feel strongly enough about the fact that this is not a good look for the club, please do the same.

I would say, we could be bigger than to worry what people may say, if we donated our scarves to homeless people to keep them warm.

... surely a decent gesture of giving & being supportive to those who are down, is worth all the barbs anyone could throw.

Sorry to disagree with most of you but surely this is a mountain out of a mole hill.

A small aside I have the last umpteen scarves hanging in a wardrobe.

my wife calls it the "closet of despair"

I get a laugh out of it every time she says it

is that how you've survive 'od', all this time... do you stick your head in there of a Sunday night & scream your heart out for 20 seconds during the footy season?

Fantastic work Tough! I'd like to try and match that but at my school they'd only strangle each other and cause me paperwork. Well done to you!!!

Do it BBO, I am just picturing you now in the school yard as they are strangling each other you quietly saying to them, "stop, please don't do that someone will get hurt, how about you think of the children".

Last year the club website advertised if anyone wanted scarves to apply. I did and got a few boxes of them. Took them up the country and dropped in to several country schools asking if they'd like a few. I figured that it might be a good way to 'convert' a few kids to support the Dees. In every case the schools were very grateful and one school was going to sell them at their fete. I would have done the same this year had they been offered to supporters. A shameful waste.

Sir Buzzkillington

I wonder if any knight worth his salt would class a scooter as his noble steed? It would make jousting hard that's for sure.

    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,
