Faces of players cut out and held up in the crowd...

....are the cringiest most awkwardly gross thing I ever had the misfortune of having had to see. Seems to be a mostly Victorian thing but it should be a mostly never thing.

Sort it out, Gil

 

[MF]

Yeah wtf Melbourne fans?

 

[blue harvest]

First time I saw it was the 91 QF at Subi, might have been Wilson? We ended up rolling those cocky Eagles.

 

[The_Eagles]

Yeah I’ve only noticed it for the Melbourne Demons as well as NBA

I think Geelong have been guilty of this. Selwoods face I am certain has appeared.

Did Collingwood do this at some point too?

Ew

 

[WillHayward]

I see it as harmless fun.

By the same token I absolutely support the OPs right to express outrage about this.

 

[Shane Heard]

Ban all fun I say. Just like EPL games.

No alcohol, no banners, no frivolity, just get your seat and sit in it and don’t move until final whistle.

This brings the hooligan mask wearing lunatics under control

Probably no worse than the mid '00's Eagles fans holding the 'Messages On Hold' signs.

Where is the fun?

Oh my god yes. Make a thread about it and I will like the shit out of your OP. So bad.

Mate it adds class and comedy and blocks the view of some of the thousands of sponsor signage.
There should be more heads and much bigger.

[ThatsjustDappa]

Meh, it's a global thing...

 

[BigPond101]

Imagine everyone bringing signs like late 90s WWF

 

[FreoGirl]

very creepy!

 

[Sky]

How people aren’t embarrassed by carrying them into the stadium whilst walking past so many people is what I want to know.

I could be off my head and still appear more normal

Because most people fall asleep at that excuse of a sport.

Turley. Himself and Malthouse weren't havng a bar of it

 

[Tiger666]

Not as bad as the morons that watch themselves waving on the big screen when there's some footy action in front of them.

 

[PerthBoy86]

I find some slightly creepy looking (e.g the Gawn one) but enjoy anything that adds to the theatre of it.

 

[CrowToon]

CONFIRMED: GEELONG GUILTY

 

[LionsMaw]

Charlie & Richie make appearances occasionally at the Gabba. I personally think it's funny to see but then I'm also not seated directly behind the people who wave them.

 

[killtaker1993]

The kind of people who do this are people that love comic books and superhero films. They are most likely also in the 30s, work in food service jobs and still live with their parents.
