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"

[bulldogtragic]

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.

[AndrewP6]

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

[bornadog]

I thought it was funny

[LostDoggy]

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

[ReLoad]

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"

(mining boom ironic comment, GVGjnr)

Lighten up.

[boydogs]

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

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Meh... who care, I like the intent, we're trying to do something different and I like that. I'm prepared to wear it if it misses the mark sometimes.

[Remi Moses]

Tom Boyd will be able to buy Perth after the mining boom is over .

[Throughandthrough]

I thought it was hilarious. And it pretty much lit up social media for a while. Great work by all involved. Love to see plenty more like it!

[LostDoggy]

Brilliant. Of course, you need to buy a coffee in perth to really get the joke.

[BulldogBelle]

Don't agree with the OP, I liked it. The slogans about dog's barking, snarling and ripping the opponents up are tired and inspire little, so today's was refreshingly different.

[SonofScray]

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

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.

[Eastdog]

I chuckled a bit as well SOS. Yeah shouldn't be taken too seriously and its good to have some fun with the banners.

[NoName]

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

[Scorlibo]

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.

[ledge]

You do realise the club and AFL have to okay it and I thought it was quite funny , im sure Boyd would have had a giggle too.

[G-Mo77]

Didn't they start these banners midway last season?

[Maddog37]

At least it has people talking about it.......

[AndrewP6]

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.

[firstdogonthemoon]

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.

[G-Mo77]

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

[BulldogBelle]

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

[Danny the snakeman]

not another farken censor on this site. You will kill the site off, you and all the other farken censors.

Your all class mate.

[Webby]

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!!

[jeemak]

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.

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

More to the point where is Woofa? Has he been replaced by the dancing "pack"?

[always right]

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".

[Daughter of the West]

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...

[ledge]

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!!

[1eyedog]

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.

[LostDoggy]

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

[chef]

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

[LostDoggy]

Instead of making it the elephant in the room, accept it won't go away and embrace it with light hearted humour

[F'scary]

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."

[1eyedog]

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.

[F'scary]

Instead of making it the elephant in the room, accept it won't go away and embrace it with light hearted humour

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.

[F'scary]

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.

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

[mjp]

I live in Perth and buy coffee here every day. I thought it was funny (and sadly true).

[Topdog]

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

[chef]

How much is a coffee in Perth?

[1eyedog]

How much is a coffee in Perth?

About 50c more than in Victoria.

Not meaning to be critical of the 'Life Hacker', but even a long black is $5 at most Perth establishments...if you want a milk based coffee you are looking at $6.

I would be critical of life hacker it's the first and only place I looked! No time for serious scientific investigation.

The following article from 2 years ago suggests some outlets are charging over $7.

http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/dollar-cup-of-coffee-are-we-paying-too-much/story-fneuz92c-1226613029204

It seems Perth is just more expensive full stop.

[EasternWest]

Hot Dogs
Cold Pies
Luke Beveridge

which is one of the greatest banners of all time.

I didn't see that. But I love it.

[josie]

Wealthy friend in Perth said to me one of the reasons she loves visiting Melb is the coffee is better and cheaper.

I loved the banner and I'm sore Tom Boyd had a chuckle too.

[bulldogtragic]

Both footy shows showed and mentioned the creator by name. So I guess, he and the club would say it was a success.

[1eyedog]

I would have made reference to the dramas of their ex players .

Tom Boyd's contract is out of control and jacked up, but............

So on and so forth.

[LostDoggy]

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.


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.

If he can't handle a little ribbing about being a million dollar player after 9 games of football, he really shouldn't have signed the contract. In an ideal world he'll be given time and patience to grow into his body and his place in the team. We do NOT live in an ideal world. He has about three years max to win the Coleman before the Facebook Fans unite and start burning effigies. There were already plenty of FB posts about him being a waste of money for only kicking one goal on Saturday night.

Banners are the least of the kids problems.

[Twodogs]

Either of you boys been out to Footscray anytime in the last 20 years? That's a fight we can't win.

[Topdog]

WB put the banner up on their facebook page. Well over 2000 likes. I'd say the club would be very very happy with the banner.

I spent the last 27 years in Perth, just returning less than a year ago. A coffee can cost $7, $8 in the city, maybe more now.

I thought that it was well-known that in Perth a cup of coffee was the most expensive in Australia. The West-Coasters would understand it and have a chuckle.

The 'Hot Pies...' one was used in the NAB Challenge against Collingwood. I thought it was superb and wasted on a NAB Challenge game!!!

The last part? Not wanting to offend is one part of it but it's also a pretty limited format and put together by amateurs. I'm sure it could be funny without being offensive but a footy club has other priorities

[Topdog]

All media has been talking about re: Boyd is how much it cost us to secure the deal, glad we can have fun with it.

Next weeks banner suggestions?

[Ghost Dog]

No Words. Just a massive Bulldog with the opposition between its teeth.

[Before I Die]

I haven't read every post so I apologise if this has already been said. The question for me is 'what is the purpose of the banner?'

Is it to celebrate the entry of the team onto the ground or is it to create a few smiles in the crowd? Personally I would be happy with a simple 'Go Dogs' each week. Or a banner of red, white and blue stripes and of much smaller proportions with no words. But then that is me. The mate I was with thought it was very humorous.

If the requirement is that it rhymes, doesn't offend and is a little bit quirky, then the banner on Saturday was spot on.

Perhaps we could put in a WOOF request for a haiku banner next week.

[hujsh]

The banner has been highlighted on social media, on 'Bounce' on Fox Footy....and created 6 pages of talk here - which is roughly 6 pages more than a banner has been spoken about ever!

I'd say it served its purpose.

I couldn't give two hoots about the banner, the cheer squad or whether we even have either of them. But if you have them - they may as well get noticed!

It was on Fox's The Back Page last night too, and to get them talking about something that's not Sydney centric is quite a feat. Of course they then showed the one from last year about the West Gate bridge and crapped on about how much better Sydney is :rolleyes:

[soupman]

Keep doing these joke banners please.

Prior to the current writer I can barely think of a single banner that was even mildly interesting.

I'd much rather something slightly stupid or humorous than some generic rhyming phrase filled with puns.

This is the most interesting banners have been all my life.

[SonofScray]

These banners are dripping with relevance.

Look at how relevant we are! The media can't get enough of it.

Totally agree. Much better than the same old "we will come out snarling" style banner.

I think this week we should have a light hearted dig at Hawthorn's terrible colours or at Lake (maybe he had a funny bad habit around the club that we could thank Hawthorn for taking off of our hands).

On the former, I would love to see it as a giant meme. Such as:

I just found it amusing that anyone was complaining to a Bulldogs supporter on better things ahead never materalising.

[The Adelaide Connection]

Thought last weeks banner was a backward step. For those that didn't see it it was "get some hawk on your fork" which is also a ripoff of a banner I remember from the first ever crows game (and it made a lot more sense at the time because the "get some pork on your fork" was heavily used on TV at the time).

Bulldogtragic had a great idea that I saw on another thread: a giant FDOTM cartoon. That would be something!

for those playing at home, in these weeks episode of Australia's best Comedy Podcast "The little dum dum club" , Meshel Laurie and Danny McGinlay are the guests.


iTunes or direct from here http://dumdumclub.libsyn.com/

There's a running conversation throughout the podcast where they keep discussing Danny's banners, and a few that were rejected, etc etc. Well worth a listen. (ALso a challenge on there to try and get a few key words on the banner)

[bornadog]

Great banner tonight. I need to see the replay again and write it down but was very funny

Best ever!

Gorrange rhymes with orange, they could have worked that in.

Oops. I should not try and spell names like Gorringe from memory!

Anyway on QI a while ago they said that the only word that rhymed with Orange was Gorringe and then proceeded to talk about some Victorian (era not state) dingbat that did something or other amongst much guffawing. And now there's another.

When Peter Moore left Collingwood for Melbourne, the Pies banner when he first played against them was "No Moore Filth". Now that Darcy Moore is playing for them, perhaps they can make the banner "Moore Filth" next week?

A number of people around me commented on this week's banner. It was a good mix of funny and childish.

[bornadog]

Comedian Danny McGinlay brings something to new to Bulldogs banners: humour (http://www.smh.com.au/national/comedian-danny-mcginlay-brings-something-to-new-to-bulldogs-banners-humour-20150903-gje1ay)

http://www.smh.com.au/content/dam/images/g/j/e/g/p/g/image.related.articleLeadwide.620x349.gje1ay.png/1441384390182.jpg


"It didn't even rhyme," says Danny McGinlay, a local comedian, whose droll wit has turned a very Melbourne ritual – football's run-through banner – on its head.
No place for humour in a corporate game? Think again.

Halfway through last year and with his team, the Bulldogs, on a losing streak, the message on his club's banner was so banal that McGinlay took a photograph and posted it on social media.
It read: WE ARE HERE TO DO OUR BEST / SO VICTORY WILL BE OURS.
Playing the Brisbane Lions at home on a Saturday night, the Doggies lost – again.
By Monday morning, McGinlay had called Whitten Oval to spruik his wares. He had worked as a writer and the warm-up guy for a TV comedy panel show, Before the Game. He loved footy and his business was funny lines.

The Western Bulldogs were to play Port Adelaide, for the first time at Adelaide Oval, and over the phone he was asked for his best throwaway line.
"Undefeated at Adelaide Oval," he replied. "Be afraid, Port Adelaide."
Two weeks later, his two-liner was raised in Adelaide before 34,258 spectators in large red and blue capitalised letters on white fabric, and a new chapter in the parochial history of the run-through was written. The visitors lost by 73 points, but their opening quip won over the crowd.

Fast forward to last Saturday night, when the Bulldogs defeated North's old shinboners, and McGinlay pre-game quip put the idea of "osso bucco" on the game's centre stage.
Earlier this year against Greater Western Sydney, his banner bon mot posed the most fundamental of football questions: what rhymes with orange?

"The banners get more social media traction than any joke or gig I've ever done," McGinlay says.
As seasons now turn, with the spring blossom perfume in the air and football's regular calendar coming to an end, the Bulldogs this afternoon again play Brisbane and a football fairy tale beckons. From blue collar battlers, they've become the competition's great entertainers.

Most neutral barrackers hope their story has the happiest of endings in early October, just as McGinlay's banner gags have each week given fans the happiest of beginnings.
"It took a while for us to get his humour," says Sue Dyson, 59, a retired teacher from Pakenham and a Bulldogs' cheer squad regular.

Each Thursday night during the football season, you'll find Dyson in a sports hall at Footscray North Primary School, among the dedicated few, affixing his lines to a fabric banner to the chorus of pulled sticky tape rolls.
"It creates a lot of discussion. Some of the elderly ladies who sit near me don't get his wit, so we do have to explain what it means."
Certainly, McGinlay has reinterpreted the role of the run-through in a city's home-grown game, and its possibilities.
"There's an old adage in comedy: Don't just make the comedians up the back laugh. You've got to make the whole room laugh," he says.

That is, he plays to the crowd – the many tens of thousands in the stalls – rather than the 22 footballers running onto the stage.
His banner jokes have more than a cult following and have reinvigorated a local arts and craft custom that's been part of the game since at least the 1939 Grand Final between Collingwood and Melbourne.

As the Sporting Globe of the day reported: "The respective races were decorated with club colours" [in a paper lattice so low] "umpire Coward on visiting the Collingwood room had to crawl on his hands and knees for fear of breaking [the art work]."
Rob Hess, a sports historian at Victoria University, says banners ever since have measured grassroots participation in a game made popular initially by inner-suburban rivalries in late 19th century Melbourne.

"The occasionally controversial nature of the pithy messages on run-throughs has often been a barometer of the contested social terrain that's always been part of spectator culture in Australian Rules football."
Next week, McGinlay, who was born in Preston to migrant parents, will turn words for his footy club which, in their high flying ways, now find themselves at the season's business end. This is no laughing matter. Or is it?
Bob Murphy, the Western Bulldogs captain, for one, says since McGinlay has written their banners, he now reads them before running through them: "They make me grin."

For both the barracker and the footballer, in a raised banner there is a succinct moment when both are as one: on the grass together, experiencing a flurry of emotions before a game and the naked truth of its contest.
"When you're coming up that race to the banner, it's the best and worst thing about football," Murphy says. "You're in fight or flight mode. There's an incredible loneliness, but in the same breath there's also a profound togetherness, a physical release for the battle about to begin."

For the younger folks, it's a (in the end a tragic) reference to a quote in the Australian movie Gallipoli with Mel Gibson.

Does anybody still get text messages advising about the speakers in the social club before the game?

Last year I got a message each home game saying what time the speakers would be there. The year before they actually told you who the speakers would be. This year I haven't received any messages.

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

Me neither

[ledge]

I pulled out of the social club this year due to 6 VFL home games being before the main game so I miss the speeches anyway.
Might go back in next year .. My aim is to make all home games of VFL and AFL and some away etihad games.

There's something to that. Investing in those high picks and finding they lose value. But you usually profit from negative gearing at the end so it falls apart there.

[G-Mo77]

Wuh?

There is a bit of ba lash playing out at the moment along the lines of "keep politics out of football" and dim witted individuals trying to claim we've made a political statement and been disrespectful.

[bulldogtragic]

Not sure why anyone would investigate it. It's not even politically incorrect. Some people just need to offended or angry with something and will find a substitute when there's no genuine cause for it.

[bornadog]

Wuh?

My wife was listening while I was at the footy and she said he claims it was a political statement with elections looming. He doesn't get it was aimed at the MCC members who can afford to negatively gear.

[bulldogtragic]

There is a bit of ba lash playing out at the moment along the lines of "keep politics out of football" and dim witted individuals trying to claim we've made a political statement and been disrespectful.

The words Negative Gearing being used in and of itself isn't a political statement, not even close. Don't change or do change negative gearing is a political statement. The banner said neither. So what political statement did we make, which political party did the banner endorse?

[bulldogtragic]

We should put a list of words together for the club not to use:

Road (implies infrastructure funding). Political Statement.
Win or Lose (implies election results). Political Statement.
Super (could be short for superannuation, and argued changes). Political Statement.
Bulldogs or Dogs (implies changes to sale of mammals legislation). Political statement.
West (implies the swing seats of West Sydney). Political Statement.
Premiers (infers a political position). Political Statement even though it's a Federal Election.
Flag (infers the car with a flag on the bonnet, which is the PM's car, so endorsing MT). Political Statement.
Boys (is pure misogyny, there was a mysogny speech in parliament). Political Statement.
Bark (infers what trees are covered in, which infers environmental policy). Political Statement.
Red, White & Blue (infers the colours of a white shirt and either red or blue tie for men. Ruling out a greens tie). Political Statement.
Fight (infers violence or threats of violence, ergo, terrorism). Political Statement.

Maybe not have a banner? I think our entire club song is political now, best stop that too.

We best get someone to chisel Julia Gillard from the number one ticket holders board.
The funding John Howard got us. Better get Godwin Grech to fake the paperwork to erase all records.
Got to rip up the Ballarat agreement because that has government funding.

[GVGjr]

I'm very anti politics and even more so with politics entering the sporting arena but I can't for the life of me see why this weeks banner has been regarded by someone like Tim Lane as a political one that offends. To each their own.

I think Lane has ready this wrong.

THE Western Bulldogs has taken a clever potshot at affluent Melbourne fans with its banner before today’s clash at the ‘G.
The banner, which read ‘At the end of the match we’ll still be cheering, you’ll still be worried about your negative gearing’, has been well received on social media, with most fans giving the Dogs the thumbs up.
It’s not the first time the Bulldogs have shown their banner building talent —they’ve shown good form all year (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/western-bulldogs-early-banner-of-the-year-contender/news-story/544ba460d8a1395046f9ef60d2c7264e).
