Who are the most sought for players when it comes to holding their Giant heads?

Hands down Kozzie. Tracc and Maxy close second. Some players have several heads, Gussy for example. We have one giant Langers but there’s permanent dibs on that. One of our gals has Ed the the entire match, every match. You’d have to prise him out of her cold dead hands for someone else to get their paws on him. And I know because I’ve tried. 😂

When a player retires or leaves us, we raffle off his giant head, happy in the knowledge that he’s gone to a good home where he’ll be loved forever.

Example:

In this case... My lounge room. 😝

    Round 21…

    BACK ON THE APPLE ISLE

    LET’S BAG FOUR POINTS 

    DEMON STYLE

     

    NEW WEEK SAME MISSION 

    TO DOMINATE THIS COMPETITION 

     

    A smaller banner on this occasion since we have to adjust the size based on the length of the visitors’ poles at the various arenas.

    Anyways, on Sunday, a group of us arrived at Blundstone at 9am. We were in the race ready to pole (attach the banner to the poles… a bigger task than it sounds) where we were greeted by North’s poling crew… all TWO of them. 🙁

    Of course we jumped on in and helped them. Actually we pretty much took over, leaving them to attend to other pregame matters.

    Their banner wasn’t even completed, the Mazda graphics weren’t attached, so we did that too.

    Sadly, the North cheer squad didn’t travel to Hobart for this match.

    The first pic shows the two North poling crew members in the foreground and two of our guys in the background getting their poles out…

    Thank you, FD. We’d never leave another cheer squad in a bind. They would do the same for us if we needed help.

    Clubs don’t pay for cheer squads to travel interstate. We pay for ourselves. It’s the North cheer squad’s choice to not travel. That’s even sadder imo.

    If you want the rose, have to take the thorn.

    I'm sure the DA was there during the dark years of 2010-2013.

    They were always there. Every single match. There was less of them, but always enough to make and raise a banner and chant and cheer, even during 100-point beltings. They never left before the final siren, either. The current three leaders took the reins in 2011. So they’ve been there at the very best and the very worst of times.

    Raising poles, beltings, taking the reins and not leaving other cheers squads in a bind (won't mention raffling giant head): this thread has some serious double-entendre S&MFC vibes going on WCW. The very best and worst of times?

    … and I haven’t even mentioned the ropes yet! We have coils of thick rope. And not just any old rope… but jute. And not just any old jute…but twisted jute. The bowels of the ‘G are a veritable den of iniquity. 😝

    That’s on GameDay. Every other day I eat gag-orders… on toast, or fried, or sometimes even raw. But eating gag-orders raw isn’t wise coz that can cause one to gag (see what I did there 🙃). Besides, the attendant drool would spoil the look of one’s red n blue guernsey.

    Thank you! Now please convince my son. 😁 He cringes every time I add to it, and I’ve added to it a bunch since this pic was taken. That is, he used to cringe, but the addition of giant Jayden has made him realise he’s fighting a losing battle. 🤭

    Every day is game-day WCW. Or at least game day.

    It's important not to sully the Demon colours with drool or dribble. May I suggest red and black?

    Say what you want about the surface at Hobart but the banner looks totally bangin at that ground in the photo.

    Nah, that’s where I keep Melksy and Harmesy and my new also-fave, Chinny Chin Chin Chandler. 😁

    Before Sunday’s match the boys were doing warmups. There was only about 10 of us watching because this was long before the gates opened. Chin came over to say hello. A couple of our DA guys were up the back of the stand getting the aesthetics right (flag placement etc.) and they yelled out telling me to get a pic with him. While the pic was being taken one of the boys yelled out, “Hey WCW, keep your hands to yourself!” Chin and I both laughed, then resumed our pose, pics being taken all the while. So now I have a series of pics… in a third of them we’re both smiling, in the middle lot we’re both laughing and in the last lot I’m still laughing, but Chin is blushing. 🤭

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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?

      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.
