Neale’s Special Request

I think this warrants a thread of its own. ❤️💙

Neale has made a request to the Club. He has expressed his wish to see a Mexican Wave, everyone wearing their Big Freeze beanies in an undulating sea of blue.

Obviously not everyone’s a fan of participating in a Mexican Wave. But it’s not difficult and won’t cost anything, and it clearly means something to Neale, for it’s not often he asks something of the Club. So let’s all do this for Neale!

The Mexican Wave is scheduled to start FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE END OF THE HALFTIME BREAK. So, should you plan on going to the bar or whatever during the halftime break it would be great if everyone could be back in their seats in time to participate.

This is what you’ll hear Robbo say to kick it off…

“Get your beanie on now as Neale has requested that we see a waving sea of blue through the MCG!

We are going to kick off a Mexican wave and start it here, right here behind the goals with the DEMON ARMY and head around the ground into the Shane Warne Stand and back through the members. All right, here we go, DEMON ARMY in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Let’s Go!”

    A tip for the ladies: make sure you go to the bathroom as soon as the halftime siren goes because you know what those lines are like when it’s a big game, and you’d hate to miss the Mexican wave 😂

    Love it! I’m in.

    Also, for those history nerds out there, the Mexican Wave actually originated in the US. It was popularised at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Hence the name.

    The ‘86 World Cup was supposed to be hosted by Columbia, but they couldn’t afford it.

    Doing the ‘Colombian Wave’ sounds like a lot more fun.

    The only thing that could beat the Mexican wave that World Cup was the hand of God.

    I get it but it will be awkward at the time if a player gets badly concussed or there's an injury that is serious and there's silence and suddenly robbos voice comes over l.

    I just don't see how the Mexican wave shows off the beanies when you can see them clearly already.

    It will take place during the half-time break ...

    Neale asked for a Mexican Wave. We did a Mexican Wave. That’s all that needs to be said.

    Very emotional seeing him walk thru the guard of honour.  Very poignant seeing him walking unaided. It must have taken every ounce of energy to take that walk. 

    I might have to change my moniker to Lucifer's Heroes to include him up there with the great Jimmy Stynes.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
