I want a good old fashioned melee, from both teams - 20 players fined, 10 players suspended. Some of the coaches get involved as well.

If we win, I’m having a pull in the dunnies after the game

Im not sure starting a mellee is a good idea. Carlton are bigger than us all over the ground.
Maybe if 2 Metre started it in the forwardline we would go ok. Could run through Plowman as a welcome back to footy when he drops in front of him to intercept…

Guelfi, Durham, Stringer a few scrappers there.

I don’t care about winning the fight, just start a fight. At least being at the game would be fun

Crystal ball: I think this is going to happen. 2nd Quarter. Less than ten minutes to go. And it will involve someone we least suspect (like Ridley, or Martin, or Phillips). I’m feeling very Nostradumbass.
We’ve got to be aiming for 5+weeks and 50 grand in fines if we are serious. ■■■■ the score (unless we win)

they should have re-enactments for the half time entertainment:

  • Wallis bump on Hanna
  • Fraser Brown tackle on Wallis in 1999 prelim (optional…)
  • Denham slagging off Williams (followed by the Williams umpire shove)
  • Kernahan kick out on the full to give up the win for a draw
  • Long’s long run and goal and the Silvagni hissy fit
  • etc
