What a GREAT banner

[PedroArvy]

"If you think Tom Boyd cost the earth try buying a coffee in Perth"

What a stupid banner for our first game! What's a coffee in Perth worth $5, $6 and that somehow equals a multi million dollar deal?? It doesn't even make sense. Not to mention its insulting to us and completely uninspiring. How does this crap get past the marketing department? There's a million better alternatives. My 3 second invention:

"In 2015 our young Dogs will shine and tonight on Eagle's they'll dine"

I missed seeing it. Glad I did, that makes no sense on a lot of levels.

I like the idea but they should have gone for something other than coffee. Perhaps "an indoor dunny" would have been better.

I personally think the idea of banners with slogans is old hat. Put the logo on there, that should be it.

I thought it was funny

[LostDoggy]

I couldn't see it, Tom Boyd was in the way.

How about "you think Tom Boyd was expensive, try a line of coke and a few years of rehab"

[F'scary]

I was thinking of "You think Tom Boyd cost the Earth, try getting a good looking call girl in Perth"

Your all class mate.

Now that was a really funny comment on your part but I am not sure you can see the humour in it.

But yeah, not one of my greatest efforts. I was cheesed off with one of the mod's underhanded tactics on another thread - a deliberate misconstrual without a right of reply. Having had a few match day drinks, I lashed out at what I perceived to be another shouting down of someone daring to express an opinion that wasn't mind-numbingly, boringly safe. Rereading, I was being heavy handed, so sorry to the poster of "lighten up."

All sweet mate, have been on the end of heavy handed mods myself from other forums.

I assumed you were being sarcastic.

Like you were taking the piss out of one of those 'here comes the human rights brigade' or 'I'm tired of everyone being "politically correct"' people.

I liked the point you made in your comment "Sometimes when people attempt these jokes you need to understand that they aren't to be taken literally but rather as comical exaggerations. How funny it is is debatable but for a footy banner in a professional competition it's fine." As I understood it, you were referring to how sanitised anything appearing on a contemporary banner would have to be in this day and age.

Bit silly but I like our approach to put something funny and interesting on there instead of boring cliches

We're talking about it so in a way it worked
