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?

    Just a big pic of Gus and some stirring words

    Great work, WCW 💙❤️ A picture of the 2021 Premiership Cup with Gus's helmet resting in it/off it? Some onions or cigars wouldn't go astray either 😅😁

    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

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
