Giant heads at the games

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?

    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.

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

    Sounds like a question for the next AGM.

    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."

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

    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 ).

    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.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
