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.

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."

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 ).

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
