A Celebration of Gussy: Rd 01 vs Bulldogs

There are no milestones for our Round One match vs Dogs. This means we have the entire front of the banner just for Gus.

We welcome any and all suggestions for banner content.

Note: one of the AFL’s rules is no insulting opposition players/clubs on banners, regardless of whether or not a player’s career has been cruelly cut short due to the deliberate action of a filthy thug… of course, that’s just an example.

We’ve had the suggestion of a minute’s applause (standing ovation) at the 10-minute mark of the first quarter.
We’ve also had the suggestion of as many as possible cheer squad members behind the goals wearing a Gussy-style helmet.

These are just two examples of ideas that are welcome and that I’ll put to our esteemed DA leaders, along with banner content suggestions.

Let’s show Gussy how much we love and respect him!

    A standing ovation at the 10 minute mark sounds good WCW.
    Maybe we can all light a cigar at the same time like Gus did in the middle of Optus. They won’t be able to kick all of us out for smoking.

    Don’t worry, NC. We’ve plenty of time to sort that… and LOOOOONG memories.

    No words WCW, just an enormous picture of Gus’ helmet with a premiership medal draped on it on the banner and we all know what that means.

    I hope that at least one of the players (Gawn or Trac my picks) will do a golf swing celebration after a goal in tribute to Gus.

    As for Dees fans I think the 10min mark 1min applause is a good idea.

    Could it be... is this the time... to bring back the bugle?

    Maybe a cavalry charge call at the moment in the third quarter when he took the gully catch in the grand final ;)

    10 min mark applause isn’t great as anything could be happening then. Let’s just get him to present Max with the Premiership Cup at the end of the year 🏆!

    Just a red and blue helmet, with black where the face would be, and two eyes peering out of the darkness.

    I like the cigar references, but a simple image of an onion could also work.

    The cigar premiership pic with "Thank you Gus" would bring a tear to my eye.

    Whilst I love the sentiment, I just can’t see the Club nor the AFL letting that one through. 😅

    While I believe any of the suggested examples would/could be good suggest the DA work in with the Vlub about its intentions on that day to honour him.  I would think he would be offered a motorcade or walk around the ground at half time. 

    At sometime Gus highlights  on the scoreboard should be shown if he is honoured with the half time respects. 

    Certainly the 10 minute clap is a popular one and banner tributes both sides perhaps if possible. 

    Club  should also promote It as a Gus Day and some item be chosen as a tribute or T shirt for fans all ages. 

    no pressure but it’s only 3/4 weeks away!

    Great idea WCW, like other posters have commented, is it possible to include on a banner?

    We are certainly working with the Club to make this a Gus Day.

    The T-shirt idea has been put forth and (time permitting) seems like it could be a thing 🤞🏼 

    Unfortunately, unless the Club can work something out with our partners, there’ll be an ad on the other side of the banner. Regardless, and weather permitting, we hope do a ‘show’ - raising the banner, lowering it, turning it, then raising it again so as everyone gets to see it.

    Thanks for the ideas, 58er

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
