MFC BANNERS 2023

Round 6 banner, front…

 

Round 6 banner, back…

The Richmond banner crew were great. Kinda felt sorry for them as they seemed resigned to an inevitable loss and were quiet and let us lead the way. I imagine this would’ve been us in years gone by. ☹️

Some mentions on here about Shaz and the grog squad and yes, Shaz is still front and centre of the Tiger Army. I met her on Thursday at banner making and we hit it off immediately but didn’t know her name. Chatted with her in the race yesterday and straight up asked if she was the infamous Shaz from days of old. She (rather proudly) said she is indeed. She’s been in the Tiger Army for 45 years!

PS: see that yellow and black crepe? Yeah well that was all my doing. It’s a dirty job but someone had to do it.

Y’all are welcome. 😁

No pics this week, for two reasons: firstly, it was a relatively routine banner so the wording should suffice…

 

… and secondly, I’ll need enough pic allowance for banners such as this week’s which is a milestone one… MAYSIE’S 200TH GAME!!!!

@WalkingCivilWarThe first quote feels pretty apt where we sit in the Media Landscape... just doing our thing quietly...

Right? It’s perfect for us.

Speaking of perfect, I love that we bastardised Queensland’s own slogan on the back. It’s a little bit cheeky but a big bit funny. 😂

Shouldn't we have waited to our Mcg Brisbane Lions game though.

Those of us who made this banner got to sign a card for Maysie’s 200th which was stuck on the banner and carefully removed afterwards and given to him. ❤️💙

I said what I say to him pretty much every week as he runs through the banner… “Loveya Maysie!” With a black heart. Black because that’s the only texta we had.

What might @WalkingCivilWar and the Demon Army make of this cheeky banner by GWS yesterday?

Another outsanding banner WCW. 

Love the snapshots of Mayzy top right.

Roughly how many hours and how many are involved in putting one together?

Thank you, DD. We’re particularly proud of this banner. The time it takes to make one depends on whether or not there’s a graphic (as in Maysie’s above) or just lettering. Also depends on how many people rock up on the night. I’ve been there when there’s only six of us and I’ve been there when there’s 54 of us (eg: banner making for QB and ANZAC eve). The average time it takes would be 4 hours.

I brought a friend from the UK who had never been to the footy before. I made sure we were there before the team ran out so he could experience the banners. He thought they were incredible and couldn't believe how big they were.
He'd never seen anything like it. 

Thank you @WalkingCivilWar for all your hard work that contributes to the great culture of our game.
