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.

    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?

    Just a big pic of Gus and some stirring words

    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

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
