At the gabba they announce each player home and opposition before the game as they run out. Usually just one-liners.
My mates got the gig up there of scripting for the announcer - and knowing Im a mad dees fan he's handpassed the job to me to come up with the words to describe each player this week as the boys head up and run out on the gabba
I thought Id throw it out here for you guys if you wanted to come up with something.
If you have any ideas for your favourite dees player...tap something out for us - and if its any good I'll toss it in.
it can be comical, accurate or both
I'll try and tape the audio and replay next week

This should be fun.
#5 - Fresh from his Tour de Force in Europe, the burnout dropping bad boy, Brock McLean.
#7 - Does he play back, does he play forward, does he know how to play? It's Brad Miller!
#9 - He might be injured, unable to run, or get a kick, but he is our only leader, Mr David Neitz.
#24 - The brightest singing talent since Casey Donovan, it's the high-flying-always-falling-down Russell Robertson.
#31 - The greatest NAB Super Goal specialist in AFL history, Paul "60 metre shank" Wheatley.
#41 - I don't know what's worse, his hair or his football ability, maybe you can decide. It's Nathan Carroll.

I'll be at this game, I'll keep my ears open for any interesting descriptions at the intro.
Apparently all players will be in attendance at the post match function. If they put in another insipid display, they're liable to get lynched. Although I can't see that worrying them as there's all of about 3 Dee's fans in Brisbane.

I will be there too mate trying to focus on the positives and not the score line :thumbsu: Hopefully Valenti gets a run. Is the post match function at the German Club as usual?
Fresh out of the Year 9 weights session, Cale Morton!
Yet another number the MCC members have to remember, this time, it's number 44!
May as well put him in the B.O.G now...it's Paul Wheatley!

Yeah I tried that last year but when we were 45-0 at quarter time there weren't too many positives. Oh well, onwards and upwards i say :thumbsu:

Yeah I was there for that game too - pulling positives out of games like that sometimes gets down to "at least their not 50 points up at quarter time" - a real stretch :D

Can you explain how it works exactly? Does each player have to run out onto the ground 1 by 1? Man that'd get so annoying for the fans that go there every second week you reckon?
They have been doing this for a few years now. Once 1pm goes, they start with the opposition team and go for example, #41 Nathan Carroll (and they have a profile of him on the screen) and say a one liner about him. They do all 44 players for the match. You hear a massive cheer when Brown's comes up.

Haha, no.
They just show the photos of each player on the screen. Takes about 60 seconds per team.

Any news on how it went/what was said?
They did an express introduction on Saturday, due to having to fit the Anzac Day commemorations into the pre-game.
All they said was jumper numbers and names.
