I really really really would not like to see the banner try to link the ANZACs and Gallipoli with playing a game of football in any way.

Huh? Isnt the main reason for the banner a game of football?

Yes but ANZAC day has nothing to do with football and I believe that trying to somehow link soldiers with players or winning a game of football with fighting a war is tacky and degrading for the veterans and their memories.

I agree. The message should be that the courage of the ANZACS established and preserved our current lifestyle.

I'd like to see the CS show some ticker. How about "NO WAR FOR OIL" or "BRING THE SOLDIERS HOME". Think of the media coverage...

"Bring home dad
so he can watch
footy too"

Have a army man's kid out on the field with the cheer squad.

Someone it seems has time for this
To pluck the Demons from the shallows and bury them in burrows
And tread the SCG turf upon their nakedness"

How about then...

Carn the Swans
Kill the Dees
Just like the ANZACs
With blood up to their knees

or

25 April 1915
Was a big day
But not nearly as important
As 24 Sept 2005

or

The ANZACs were brave
The Swans players are too
Okay there's no death on the wire
But the players really perspire

or

Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
Those mighty Blood Stained Angels
Our premiership men

or

Johnny Turk thought the diggers tough
It will be nothing the Dees face today
When the Swans play rough

or

Just like the ANZACs
Our lads are brave
At least when it's finished
Our guys won't be in a grave


For the Easter match, why did we not have something like:

The same as Jesus
The Swans will rise from the dead
So watch out the Blues
For the mighty white and red

or

The media crucify us
Just like Christ on the cross
But on Easter weekend
We'll show 'em who's boss


It's good that a meaningless load of toilet paper that no one would miss is so important. Tragic f*$ks who behave like eight year olds creating toilet paper slogans that are usually of the intellectual calibre of a primary school child and believe that football is the most important thing in the world.

The winner gets 5 tickets to the Geelong game.

The loser gets five tickets in the Cheer Squad & has to remain there until the end of the game.

PS:- we are mega short of flags as well, as I heard after the GF parade they have been misplaced.

Make a banner with this image but replace the bloke's head with the head on the left
Message reads: "Blood brothers"

Yep, that's excellent. Why aren't the banner makers that creative!

I believe that there should be the normal type of message on one side and on the other some recognition of the ANZAC tradition, but don't combine the two...that would be tacky.
