Re: What a stupid banner
More to the point where is Woofa? Has he been replaced by the dancing "pack"?

Re: What a stupid banner
Didn't think the message was particularly funny but like the intent. Perhaps the message should be on the back for the crowd's benefit and the players are faced with the Bulldogs emblem when they come out.
I'm old enough to remember when our banner had inspiring messages such as "Please" and "ring Marge for catering".
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Re: What a stupid banner
Having bought coffees in Perth, I thought it was pretty funny. Although, with a Perth native for a husband, picking on WA is a bit of a pass time in my place...
Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell
Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath
And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

Re: What a stupid banner
I think anyone can write the quote in the banner you just send it into the cheer squad and they choose the one they like the most that passes all the rules

sometimes we were reduced to promoting local butchers or plumbers, however you can't go past the one in 97 PFS where we sent our sympathy to the royal family for the loss of Princess Di. What the hell!!

Re: What a stupid banner
I see the humor I just wonder what Boyd felt. He would be getting pretty sick of hearing the amount of money he will be on. I'm sure he didn't expect it from his own club. It was a bit strange and irrelevant.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: What a stupid banner
Here's an idea. Perhaps the Boyd contract is a big in house joke and the banner was a continuation of that plus a little dig at WA. Each to their own but maybe people need to lighten up a little

Agree, I'm sure he gets ribbed about it all the time from his team mates. Part and parcel of a team environment.
Some people need to just realax and have a laugh
The curse is dead.

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."

Re: What a stupid banner
I don't really have a problem with it I was just wondering what Boyd was thinking. Maybe you're right, maybe it is a big joke but there is no problem having a problem with it either.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

For me, it wasn't the Boyd part, it was the tag that didn't satisfy. There isn't enough put down in a jibe about expensive coffee.

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.
They could have gone a wee-bit further with the jibe. But that is the times we live in and I take your meaning.

Re: What a stupid banner
I live in Perth and buy coffee here every day. I thought it was funny (and sadly true).
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Re: What a stupid banner
It got 44 posts talking about it on here. Pretty successful as a banner I'd say
