I WANT A TANK

Featured Replies

Posted

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?

 

If we dont have a PR bloke...this guy gets my vote..!! lol

Red and Blue army.. I kinda like it..lol :lol: :D :P

Now I know many people would laugh and scoff at things like this.. I strangely think its got a certain "oomph " to it.

Its a tad Bransonish... now there a Sponsor ................................ ( Hmm Demons and Virgins !! hehehe )

oh and the media would lap it up !!!

" MELBOURNE TANKS FIRST GAME !!!" theyd play it for all it was worth. what a hoot..lol

Also in a way it would start the reclamation of it being OUR 150th !!

 

Is the MFC the tank or the man?

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'. :)

if no tank....possibly an armoured personnel carrier.. still quite forboding.. rated for all roads !! just idea

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
