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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
