I WANT A TANK

The Emblem

I don't want to tank in the Cartel Football Club fashion.

I mean an actually tank...a big one, big enough to excite people!

This tank can be a rallying point for the "March to the G" QB weekend.

The tank should have some red & blue insignia on it. Club legends can ride on it: Barassi, Flower, Stynes etc

We could have replica WWII GI helmets Red & Blue one's [cheap, light plastic]. We could all wear $1.00 red MFC plastic ponchos for maximum visual effect

Caroline Ferguson, the 3AW traffic chick can give "traffic reports" re the tanks progress to the G [she's a Dee supporter and may do it if I ask really nicely].

We will need a marching band of course [i would have suggested Scotch or Melbourne Grammar in the 150th year but being a long weekend this might not wash].

Why would the Army give us a tank I hear you say?...PR I reply, great photo op AND they can set up a recruitment / PR tent at one of the biggest games of the year, with their tank parked beside it.

Can this be done...or am I just DeeReaming?

    great idea 'DeeReaming' but what if we did it for the DEES v carltank game @ around rnd 5.

    If you can,t get permission for a tank on the road we could get someones small tray truck & dress it up with visy cardboard boxes into the shape of a tank with landcruiser (see sponsor, toyota) emblems, & No5 on it. No doubt it would have a small barrell pointing backwards & we could push it to the 'G'. :)

    BB59 an Armoured personnel carrier will create much the same effect [although the more clanking noise the better] a lot depends upon if the army goes for it, if so it all costs next to nix for the MFC.

    MFC Marketing & Communications Officer quite likes the tank idea for the QB "march to the G"

    Bit of bloody razz-a-ma-taz.

    I am informed that to help stir the blood there will be bagpipers to accompany the march....hoots man

    And if that's not enough for you I am assured that breakfast at Fed Square is free.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
