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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
