Are we the only team that has giant heads of our players in the crowd? Why do we do it? Surely it'd be weird as a player seeing your giant smiling head looking down at you. It's weird isn't it?

 

 

no weirder than kicking around an inflated pigskin and making big bucks

Let's not get existential. Pretty sure it's just us that does the giant heads. It's weird.

 

I believe that Geelong thought this may have happened.

But then they just realized Brad Ottens was sitting with the cheer squad.

Sheesh.. 

Far worse [censored] going in the world then worrying about a couple of giant cardboard heads at a football game.

 

 

Wouldn't mind seeing a few hundred giant heads of fans in the empty stadiums just to make things a bit fun.

Maybe Nibbler's mum beaming down on everyone and giving blessings to all good Demons! :D

Could be a raffle prize - "Be the giant head for round 17."


All fun and games till ya sitting behind the giant heads.

Yeah - every time I see them I think how annoyed I’d be to be sitting behind ‘em.

To answer the question, I'm certain I saw another club's cheersqusd had then earlier in the year but can't remember who

Perhaps they could double up and have a bloke playing a comically giant bugle? ???

Oh man, so much. I don't care about our reputation as toffs, but that used to kill me.

Looks like no one else is curious.

The only other time I've seen them is something like a giant Kim Kardashian putting off a free throw in the NBA. Where do they even get them from?

 


Someone in the press reads this thread and next thing you know a headline reads "Demons concerned about too many big heads".

I like our oversized heads.

MOAR HEADZ i say !!

 

Love them.

No issues at all, I think that add great colour to the crowd.

I'm sure that someone on here could confirm, but I think they belong to the Demon Army (or were at least instigated by them) and were found to be a great way to include members.  On the basis that they are used in the Demon Army, I don't think there'd be any real objections to them from the other people sitting around them ( i.e. other members of the Demon Army ).

Not surprising as the ball doesnt tend to go up our opponents end lately...

They are created by demon supporting local printers and graphic designers

Yes quite right. It's only our boots that are going up our opponent's ends this year

Yeah, there’s wars, famine and a pandemic, so let’s not talk about anything else ever.

Might as well close the site down if “there’s worse things happening” is the barrier of entry for a conversation. Pretty much everything we worry about on here is trivial compared to the world’s problems.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
