I am a melbourne based supporter who attends pretty much every game over here and I would love to be able to sign one of these.

I was going to sign it at a forum match late last year but we all forgot after the game.

Any help on when and where would be fantastic.

Cheers to gazrat, roger and co for all your organisation with this.

[Solar]

hey gaz you got the one I had from snoopygirl?

[snoopygirl]

As I posted elsewhere Solar, I still have it & have been awaiting instructions from gazrat.

I will be sitting M52 on Saturday night if anyone still wishes to sign.

its all good .......i'm going to end up a better man out of it

....awaiting instructions from gazrat.

a woman awaiting instructions from me .... ta snoops

thats a first in my life !!!!!!




measure the flag for me , will ya luv (seriously)

[snoopygirl]

Will do it tonight for you.

[snoopygirl]

176 x 90 gaz. That includes the white bit down the side which is about 2cm's.
Sorry I didn't do it last night, but couldn't find the tape measure so had to buy a new one.

[*BaLLy iS BeST*]

i would love to sign one of them...but wont be able to get to a game until we play the crows.
is there any chance one of the flags would be at the game then?
thanks

[snoopygirl]

I will bring it to that game also. Remind me closer to the date.

[i_luv_nick_riewoldt]

i will be at the game in M51 and would love to sign it - how will i know who you are snoopygirl??

[saint66au]

The flag was in M54 last night and gathered numerous new signitures

[asiu]

snoops

yr the lucky holder of flag # 3

looks like its yr gig to get it filled

social club for the freo game ?


i have two flags up here ...filled with signatures from wa , sa and nsw

much thanx to rogerwa......the mans got passion


the vision was

4 flags (1760mm x 900mm)...........sewn around a black cross (450mm wide) with #35 (in white) sewn into the centre of the black cross


makes a pretty big flag ....nearly 4 metres long by 2.2 metres high

then it was going to be unfurled at the first game after bangers final year ....................responsibility for making that happen is dan warna's


but first we gotta get the thing finished



issue one ...........the fourth flag

issue two ............ getting it sewn up


as four of my mates on here know .........and one who i was buying a piece of memorabilia off must have figured out ........gazrats emotional and financial world has taken an 180 degree turn to its former direction, over 2008

point a .....i can't even buy the fourth flag

point b .....haven't had time to contact the club about getting players, officials , staff and friends to sign the fourth one.....

(the plan was ....because its the fourth flag thats 'valuable' .... as soon as the big bugger was sewn ..........it becomes the clubs property , in their safekeeping until its unfurled and then until its given to banger )


i'm so emotionally drained at the mo ......all my efforts are going to just staying upright ..............financially and physically




i need you guys to take this forward



i just cant do it


sorry

[saintbrat]

all the best gaz

[asiu]

ta bratski

appreciated





it's healer , heal yourself
(this is the task on my front doorstep)




c'mon boys and girls ....you guys can make it happen easily...
someone step up to the plate

[BakesFan]

I'll be at The Dome next weekend for the Crows game.
Is there a pre-match/post-match get-together where I could sign a flag?

[Saint Bev]

Don't know if you want to send it to Qld. We possibly won't get the last 2 games on TV, so getting signatures could be a challenge. Grand Final weekend could be a possibility (if we are not in it of course ). Will leave it up to you to decide. Or we will be down for the Essendon game, could sign it on behalf of the Qld supporters. Let me know.

[snoopygirl]

I will be sitting Aisle 35 Row F seat 34 if anyone wants to sign the flag at the Adelaide game.

[hellorocky]

Couple of questions on the flags

1) Snoopygirl, how much room does your flag have left for signing? ie: would it have room for several dozen signatures?

2) Has anyone organised the 4th flag and is it only for club officials and players?

3) Where were the flags purchased and are they are standard AFL issue? Could I get one at an AFL licences store (don't actually have an AFL store here)

What I'm thinking is that either the Snoopygirl flag or the 4th flag goes to the bus park at the TD next week to allow country supporters the opportunity to sign it at our end of season party.

I've already signed it in Perth last year and actually remembered that I have an incriminating photo of 'Sir' Roger, myself and a few others with one of the flags and if I know how to put it up here I would

[Brooksy_Babe_24]

Have our tassie Supporters and other parts of Australia had a chance to sign one.
I know we are running out of time but i think def the Tassie supporters should have an opportunity to sign one not saying for a mintue that the rest of you guys aren't as important but i just think that we have to do it properly and have repsentatives from everywhere in AUS and even some places overseas if possible.

[asiu]

the three flags already purchased came from the shop at the club

176 x 90 cm

the fourth flag needs to be purchased

not necessarily is it only for players and officials ....that was just the vision

although ,

some 225 teammates invited and will form guard of honour.
Harves will be in attendance in the Victory room after the game

sounds like 'oppurtunity knocking' to me

i did contact bev in june about getting a flag up there for their function ....but given time restraints at the actual function , it was decided not to go ahead

tassy , is/was a bit dissapointing for me ....my home state an all

launnysaint was prepped to recieve a flag ....but my life rolled over the top of that planning ....i didnt / couldnt make it happen ....sorry


4 flags signed by supporters has a lot going for it as well

but if someone has the contacts at the club .....to get the fourth flag signed by the '225' ...that would be speciaaaal !

[Launcestonsaint]

I'm still happy to do anything to get Tassie supporters to sign a flag.

[Buckets]

I will be there on Sunday and would love to sign it?
Any word from the club?

[hellorocky]

OK - cannot locate a flag that large in Albury/Wodonga - anyone in or near Wangaratta want to phone the place in the main Street of Wangaratta (I can't remember what it's called) I'm 'happy' to pay but only if I can get it before the weekend
