Hold it up in front of your face.
If there is nothing to see, then you won't miss anything.
And others who want to see, can.

I love it how people take the high moral ground whenever they can....But sensible people will know that put in that particular situation, everyone would be somewhat annoyed.jonesy wrote:Newman,keep holding up your banner FFS! If it's blocking 6% of some 'wowsers' vision of a game that's already finished,tell them to get stuffed. The club needs more supporters like you with passion and add a sense of colour to a once loud army. These days half of them are precious spoilt little roof dwellers who wouldn't know atmosphere if it bit them on the ass! Seriously the last 3-4 years the noise at our games from our supporters is pathetic. The animal cage culture is now long gone,and the level two corporate box- sushi eating culture has taken over.
That game the other week against the dogs was an embarrassment,the dogs made 20 times more noise! The dogs FFS! One of the smallest noiseless crowds there is. We were once the angry mob down at Moorabbin to now the one's who acccept bad umpiring without a cry,what happened to the angry roar!?
The game is being diluted into netball rapidly,Newman keep holding up your banner, if they don't like a bit of passion after a victory then the AFL have succeded in ruining the game

I love it.
As if you wouldn't be annoyed if an item clearly obstructed your view.saint66au wrote:Soft mollycoddled kids of today..fair dinkum..a SIGN n front of you for a cpl of minutes after a game. What is the footy supporting world coming to??
Its just as well that a few of you werent supporting the Saints in the days when you..
* GOT WET if it rained..and it did most weeks
* If you stood behind the goals, you risked a footy in the head during warm up...no nets. You also got to take "spekkies" once in a while, which gave you massive bragging rights at school on Monday
* If you were in the CS, you walked around the boundary at 1/2 time with a huge blanket as a fund-raiser, risking losing an eye from a stray coin as it flew over the fence. Part of this walk included being right in front of the opposition CS
* Young fellas scurried under your feet (in the wet!) towards the end of a game to collect aluminium beer cans
* Dont worry about a flag at games end, who could forget the unforgettable feeling of those golf umbrellas being collapsed around you, sending a litre of water down the back of your neck. THey could also obscure a game..thats right the actual GAME while its in progress ...better than any flag or sign
...and I havent even touched on the toilets!!
I reckon that wristband that Carlton are handing around could well be leant to a few on here
HARDEN UP PEOPLE ITS NOT THE FREAKING OPERA!!!!!!!

...Face paint and all?Newman wrote:Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for your comments Quigs - very balanced and you are in the area of fans that would be affected. So I take your viewpoint more seriously. Hey ... and you remembered the Sainta Clause costume! It was worth wearing as that year I got the gig as Sainta Claus at the club's Xmas Twilight get together.
As I stated in a later comment - being based in Brisbane I just ain't got the bread to attend every match - so I probably will only be at the Dome for 3 more home games. So that's good news for 'Big Nose' and any others that might be upset by the banner - which I'm now thinking of donating to the cheer squad (if they're interested).
Anyone see that episode of Seinfeld with Elaine's boyfriend Puddy supporting his ice hockey team .... now there's a great barracking idea!!
