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 ).

    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

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
