"WE LOVE YOU JIMMY" banner idea

Featured Replies

Posted

I would love to see a massive 40 metre long red and blue banner be made up with the words, "WE LOVE YOU JIMMY" written on it.

The banner could be unveiled in the crowd on the wing either before or during the Essendon game at the MCG (or both), like the banners they have in the soccer matches overseas.

It would be a great way of showing Jimmy and the football community our love and appreciation we all have for the great man.

Surely as supporters we could raise the funds independantly. I would assume we would need permission from the club and MCG to unveil it. Obviously it would be best to keep it a secret from Jimmy until the unveiling.

love it. Send an email to Cameron Schwab first and if you get the OK get some costings and then put it to the forum. You know what happened last time we raised money for a good cause!

 

This is a fantastic idea, maybe the size needs to be a little smaller, but no doubt a very very good idea.

Do it for jimmy. I cannot see the MFC or the MCC saying no, as long as all health and safety issues are covered.

33,000+ members sending love and wishes to our President. We are a great club getting better.

Im all for it Haydo. Do you need Cam Schwabs email address? Let me know and I will pm you.

Cheers

Yes with a capital yes

 

I'll buy a couple of rolls of crepe paper for this...

Seriously Haydo that is a great idea!!! It is a brilliant sight when done well. They have had something similar for previous grand finals where they drag the banner from the back of the crowd in the lower tier.

Health and safety... ppfftt it's fabric!

Cam S I'm sure you can sort this out as a mark of respect to one of the greatest ever Demons on the field and off it.

Im in!

He is a member here. Haydo, you could just visit he's profile. Message (PM) him that way or get he's email there.

Good idea Haydo. Might want to speak to the appropriate person rep for the MCC/MCG at the G too.

  • 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.
