    The Dildoes. That is perfection.

    Danny’s PF banner was a genuine work of art. He captured why the stadium was a sea of red, white and blue, why families jumped in cars and drove 10 hours to cheer our team despite, or because of, decades of heartbreak. That banner, and the goosebumps when it went up, will live forever. It’s a real shame that we have returned to Bland 101 Banner Styles.

    Re: What a GREAT banner

    I am biased, well because I am, but I'm trying to think of - apart from Adelaide 97 - a convoy of backs to the wall supporters hunting a win interstate like we did in '16.

    We as a club and a supporter group were ravenous and uncompromising, from the banner message through to the players, and every last Bulldogs supporter who made it to the ground or watched it on TV. It was a savage moment in football history.

    It will be interesting to see how history views it in the context of AFL away finals wins.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    It IMO is our Club's greatest moment. An entire community across generations mobilised, put one hand on the Premiership and with Bulldog tenacity, never let go. We filled their stadium, drank their beer, rattled them with abuse and raucous applause for our own. It was a coherent and organised F YOU to that club, to history, to the AFL, to everyone that wasn't us. There was mass catharsis at the final siren, but in the lead up we were the embodiment of what we believe our Club to be. Unyielding, resilient, passionate.

    I will never forget that day.

    Re: What a GREAT banner

    I was thinking about the banners (and secretly dreading another season of cringey “rah rah we will win” stuff) and I thought of First Dog as someone that would likely come up with super amazing (and very unique) ideas.

    Where is First Dog these days? I don’t recall seeing him in these parts (or doing dogs related content) for a long time.

    He doesn't post at all these days. He is living in Tassie and very busy with the Guardian Cartoons. Still a Doggies supporter of course.

    He's an international figure jet setting across the world fighting (political comment sensored) everywhere he sees it now.

    Re: What a GREAT banner

    It pains me to admit that Collingwood’s banners have become the best in the league. They are putting out stuff that definitely takes a leaf out of our Danny banners and, from a marketing perspective, having people taking notice and sharing them on social media can’t be bad for business.

    I bet it becomes another bargaining chip with potential sponsors and, if nothing else, this has got to be something we potentially had at the peak of our banner powers that we have now lost.

    Last nights banner:
    Sellout at the Gabba
    To see the Pies take flight
    We’ll win away, a win away
    The Lion sleeps tonight

    Round 1 (calling back to their disastrous Grand final one that fell apart):
    We’ve studied the footage
    We’ve found our mistake
    Redemption starts now
    With twice as much tape

    Last year v GWS (after the second kicking out incident)
    It’s Pies vs Giants
    They’re in our nest
    We’ll send them home
    With a kick to the chest

    Last year (the week after they were called on a spelling mistake)
    The Hmuan Biran
    Is a wnfoerudl tinhg
    But eevn btteer
    Is a ciollgnowod win

    This is so on point. I was at the game and never thought of the role we the crowd played. It was ruthless - from the booing when they walked out the noise after the final siren.

    If letting them know about it every opportunity counts in anyway toward the greater good, I’m confident I played my part.

    Re: What a GREAT banner

    According to Danny, there will be no banners at the Grand final. He said he will do a fake banner for the granny.

    Can he beat this one for 2016 GF
