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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
