March to the G

[The Emblem 1]

OK,

At the risk of the club already having something planned in the pipeline...

How about we Demonlanders lead the charge of the RED and BLUE ARMY

How: Sunday 23rd meet at 3.00 PM at Fed Square, gather and make some noise for a 3:30 PM and March to the G.

Groundwork

1/ Indicate how many of us can make it, including offspring etc, and ensure we have critical mass

2/ Contact the MFC, let them know its on [coordinate] and hopefully they can put it on the MFC website

3/ We get the MFC cheersquad involved as well...its not a proper March without the banners and they would make a good rallying point

4/ Get John So and as many celeb's as possible to join us [I'm just not pretty enough to warrant media exposure]

5/ Any muso's amongst us..especially trumpet players / wind instruments

Moderators...is there a function on this website that allows Demonlanders to indicate whether they are up for this or not?

That is Easter Sunday, people might have things on before they go to the footy.

Could be good, but i know the club's got one organised for QB, might be a bit much to get two in one year going.

I'd be up for it if we can get one going though.

Can't, if i left at 3:30 i would not get there till about 3/4 time.

Good idea though.

For God's sake don't let a filth supporter see that or they will laugh themselves silly.

It sounds like a quote from Sergeant Wilson in Dad's Army

This is the Red & Blue Army...repent Sunday Morning - March Sunday afternoon!

Is this the game where we get entry on our membership for the hame game we play at Manuka or is it the Essendon game later in the year.

I'd normally know this allready but I haven't received any info.

Queen's B'day is in June, i.e. over 3 months away. FFS, how early do you expect them to market it!!!!

I think DeeReaming might be referring to the marketing drive for the season.

Not marketing the march.

That's right Redfin...and Brocky...please FGS, not FFS, we're all on the same side here!

Latest contact from the club indicates that they think a "march to the G" for round one would dilute the impact of a similar march on the QB weekend.

Without MFC support I would consider the round 1 march "dead in the water" as its purpose was to generate public interest and membership uptake and this is unlikely to happen without MFC backing in regards to arranging cheer squads, celebrity support, media backing etc

We would have to gather a hell of a lot of demonlanders together to make the round 1 march work. <_<
