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.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
