    Had a chuckle at it. Fits the tone of recent efforts, keep up the good work.

    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:

    There are these things called jokes...

    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.

    I thought it was pretty funny - at the end of the day who actually pays attention to what is on the banner?

    Agree, stupid banner. How is big Tom supposed to feel running through that with his teammates? No wonder he didn't impact the game until the last quarter.

    Because of the banner? Big call.

    Re: What a stupid banner

    Didn't see it, don't think it was HILARIOUS but it is dismissive of WA which is always a good idea. The club are going in a particular direction with the banners and I heartily approve. Remember these are the same people who came up with

    Hot Dogs
    Cold Pies
    Luke Beveridge

    which is one of the greatest banners of all time.

    I remember reading about the guy that does these banners last year on one of the news sites. Here he is https://twitter.com/dannymcginlay

    Thought it was fantastic. Then again I'm probably one of the vast majority of light-hearted folk.

    The miserly iron ore price got a few mentions tonight! "Back to subsidising WA, I suppose!"

    Tied in with "Also sick of Doggies having to subsidise West Coast!"

    Got a nibble, too!!

    Re: What a stupid banner

    It wasn't really my cup of tea but not a lot is.

    I'd hate to have the job of writing banner slogans for AFL teams, I mean, my job's hard but at least I don't have to be witty or funny doing it. I can be my regular boring, and cutting self and still get paid less than I think I'm worth without too many complaints.

    These guys volunteer their time and have zero originality to work with over almost a 400 game season.
