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.
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
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...

Quoted for truth.

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

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