Carltoon's Banner

GrumpyOne · Post: # 539909Post **GrumpyOne** » Mon 31 Mar 2008 10:21am

Can't see where anybody has mentioned this before. If so, apologies and delete this thread.

But I can't not let it go unnoticed, the Carltoon Banner was one of the most disgusting banners I've seen at the footy with it's tunnelling reference.

Has anyone got a photo?

Should be reproduced on our banner the next time we play them, or used as motivation by Ross before the game.

Hate the pr1cks.

Speaking of tunnelling etc. did anyone notice BBBH get his legs taken out from under him in a marking contest yesterday? Given his comments from earlier in the week it was quite comical.

In response to your point Grumpy, I think someone mentioned it at some stage, but I agree & given that our CS claim they are restricted in what they can say on the banner, I would assume Carlton will be sent a please explain. Mind you, I think we well & truly tunnelled them anyway.

What did it say?

karnak · Post: # 539926Post **karnak** » Mon 31 Mar 2008 10:39am

Something along the lines of

Q: How are we gonna beat the Saints tonight?

A: By taking their legs out from underneath them.

I too thought it was disgusting. Farking carltoon tanking scum of a spastic football club.

That's crap.

saintbrat · Post: # 539930Post **saintbrat** » Mon 31 Mar 2008 10:42am

it was mentioned in another thread But I couldn't find It when I looked the other day but the persons mentioning it thought it was 'great'
all in the eye of the beholder type of thing I guess, witty yes but appropriate

Next time we play them a tanking refrence might be used to get back at them. Or a brown paper bag one. Or a 10/11 wims in a row one.

If they want to go the snide comment route we have alot of ammo in our belt there.

Well Tank you Carlton.

Did any1 else notice how the banner just fell off before it got ripped as the players ran through it???

I guess there saving money on sticky tape.

Hahahahaha F Class AFL club these days.

BAM! (shhhh) · Mon 31 Mar 2008 12:26pm

Can't say I noiticed since their cheersquad got it onto the ground all of 2 seconds before their players... it was up, ripped and down in a hurry.

So they had a cheap snide slogan, barely got out there in time... but hey, they had matching jackets

Q. How do you stop the saints from marching in?
A. Take their legs from under them?

To tell you the truth I like it, it was a little snide comment on the opposition club. Obviously I don't appreciate that it was against us but I think this sets a precedent in what we can and can not say on a banner.

Next time we play them something along the lines of Tanks for 11 on the trot would go quite nicely...

Saints-06-Premiers · Mon 31 Mar 2008 2:14pm

I saw it and I thought, very inspiring. They had pretty much conceeded already as if that the only way to beat us.

esaint66 · Post: # 540068Post **esaint66** » Mon 31 Mar 2008 2:38pm

Poor form from a poor club.

Next time we make a banner saying something about the tanking situation or brenden 'the urinator' fevola

What they meant was;

Q. How do we win?

A. Cheat

st_Trav_ofWA · Mon 31 Mar 2008 3:04pm

honestly calrtoon have absoultly no relevance on our club they are little more then cellar dwellers and have no impact on the premiership cup so i wouldnt bother what they have to say about us

my les foote · Mon 31 Mar 2008 3:04pm

The only banner in the last 10 years that has been even mildly amusing and everyone is up in arms.

The only thing Carlton has done well in the last five years. You have to give them some credit.

Quoted for truth.

Damn right they are - who cares what they say about us?

I'm not offended by it at all, but it's about as amusing as a joke out of a christmas cracker... they could try focusing on team spirit or something maybe?

Their cheer squad was even trying to start a mexican wave for about 10 minutes in the last quarter ffs... I'll give em credit for jack shyte.

The_Dud · Post: # 540122Post **The_Dud** » Mon 31 Mar 2008 3:57pm

i thought it was good, i had a little laugh

i wish our cheer squad had the balls to put something even slightly amusing/controversial/witty/good on our banners

funnily enough tho, judging by last weeks banner, none of the cheer squad actually know what a St.Kilda football jumper looks like....

i think we're now 2 - nil down in the cheer squad stakes after the first 2 rounds

OneEyedSainter77 · Mon 31 Mar 2008 5:06pm

I was the poster who said that saintbrat. I thought it was funny and ballsy - I don't think it was a dig at us, more at the whole tunneling fiasco anyway. To be honest, I think tunneling is bulls*** anyway and they are just emphasising that. Like saintbrat said, each to their own. It certainly was appropriate circumstancially, but behaviourly I don't think it was. I still thought it was good though. I thikn some people here are taking it too seriously. But fair enough. I liked it.

iwantmeseats · Mon 31 Mar 2008 5:10pm

Meh, they are a complete rabble, who gives a s***.

Im enjoying this era of the AFL.

(cause im old enough to realise it wont last forever

)

Don't banners need to be approved by Dimwit or the Gimp at the AFL? Where's Dooley when you need him?

Enrico_Misso · Mon 31 Mar 2008 9:28pm

As I understand it, the wording on the banners now has to be approved by the AFL.

Saintdooley - please confirm.

And I believe that came about as a result of a fantastic banner from the Melbourne cheer squad which they proudly unveiled at the SCG.
This was in the mid nineties when the AFL were at their height of pampering the Sydney Parasites.

It read ...

SHAME SYDNEY SHAME
YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO THE GAME

Then the forces of political correctness / censorship brought down the curtain on free speech.

Saints-06-Premiers · Mon 31 Mar 2008 10:02pm

The AFL has rules restricting what can be said on it. But they don't approve it before.

maybe they should have put their cheer squad out there rather than their best 22. at least their cheer squad was prepared to take us on
