Free Danny Stanley!

[The Magician]

I'm sorry, but he has shown me nothing at AFL level to warrant this thread.

I'm sorry, but he has shown me nothing at AFL level to warrant this thread.

I think that's the whole point of this thread

Stanley hasn't been given the opportunity in the AFL to show the footy world what he is made of.

The image found here from Stanners' debut against Melbourne (#9031) could be a useful one for photoshopping if mirrored.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

You make it, I'll buy it. Would you believe I tried the black t-shirt? Maybe I thought you'd then do the design in white.

Oh right haha. I and the website I utilise operate on a print-on-demand basis. So basically, you buy it, I get it printed and posted out to you. Hopefully it will arrive by the time Stanners plays his first AFL game for 09

Oh and if you actually want it in white on black, I can do that.

 

[Al Scorcho]

man, that is killer, would it be possible to do one kind of like below, with the visionary eyes? (looking away from the viewer) otherwise i feel creeped out mona lisa style

this is what i mean (took your image and just changed the eyes round, hope thats cool, credit is all yours!)

 

[buzzbuzz]

Yeah that's actually way better, just flipping the eyes horizontally. Change has been made.

Hey Buzz, how do I order the white on black and can I order 2 at a time (i girlie, 1 blokey)?

 

[mdc]

buzzbuzz, are you able to track how many get sold? I'd like to know how many fellow warriors there will be walking around.

I'm going to grab mine in a couple of days, just need to get some money onto the Visa Debit card. Sizes are the same as standard AA stuff?

 

[buzzbuzz]

I've just uploaded the white on black now, you can see it here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/benj/t-shirts/2742445-1-ds-white

And to buy two at once you just have to go through the process of adding one to your cart, then go to the other t-shirt and go through the same process, then when it's added too you just 'checkout'.

mdc: Yep, I'm able to keep track of how many are sold, as well as colours and sizes. I also think buyers can send me a message when they buy, so it'd be cool if the BF Magpies could give me a cheerio or something. And yeah, the sizes are regulation AA.

To anyone who hasn't owned any American Apparel stuff before; they're slimfit, so you might want to actually check the measurements (which you can do when you buy, I think).

 

[Damon_3388]

I really like wearing unique, interesting and thought-provoking t-shirts that nobody else has (yet stylish, not just with lame or cheesy writing or stuff on them), and this would fit in with that IMO. I might go into American Apparel here in Adelaide and try on their t-shirts just to get a good fit. I know the measurements are there on the site, but I like to try for myself if possible (seeing as I have a big chest but thinner waist, and prefer shirts on the more fitted side all round), but once I know what size will be good for me, I'd love to get one of these

I used to wonder if you had to be mad to follow Collingwood. This thread has removed my uncertainty.

TRS, you are no longer a humble servant at court. By instigating this insanity, you have usurped the throne and are now the "King of Mad".

MDC is your "Duke of Lost Causes" and Minister of Hyperbole.
MyManDawes (whose previous cause is in temporary abeyance) is a most outstanding Poet Laureat whose "handball up a sparrows bum" bids fair to become a football classic.
Optimax is now Lord of War and his assault on the intelligensia of EB&W has the unbelievers gurgling apoplectically into their port.
Snag must be the Duchess of Dudgeon as she marches the masses yet again against the ramparts of official indifference huddled brooding in the Fortress of Lexus.

And we, your loyal footsoldiers. will follow where the mighty lead...





at least until he's had half a dozen games straight to show what he's got.

 

[handy point]

That shirt is a-grade gold.

 

[Sex Robot]

Stanley could win VFL footballer of the year, he could rack up 500 possessions in a VFL game...it all counts for naught as HE IS NOT AN AFL FOOTBALLER. Never was never will be. Got his chance last year on a handful of occasions. Were you guys in another country in a media lockdown last year?? Did you not see his last game of AFL ?? It was appauling. He makes Ryan Cook look like Ricky Barham...The only way the guy is going to get a game is if we get ten players injured. Seriously if anyone on these boards think Stanley should get a game in front of McCarthy, Beams, Welly or Rusty you are seriously showing your lack of football knowledge.

 

[shawthing09]

I am well and truely on board good work MDC, Buzzbuzz and everyone else involved. Maybe it is the horror of the 02 03 "blue collar" midfield that haunts MM's dreams keeping Stanley out.

 

[The Big League]

Gents (and ladies), hear ye our battle song. Set to The Cure's A letter to elise:

Oh Danny, it doesn't matter what you do
You know you'll never get selected from the two's
To play midfield and star
The way you should

The way you would slot right on in
If Mick only would
If Mick only would
At least we'd lose this sense of sensing you would help
immediately
to clear the ball

and play a part
with bullish frame and massive heart
and all the tackles your hands can make
but Mick just sees that you win many BOGs
And then looks the other way
Oh he looks the other way

Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Licuria
Mick stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face he saw looked back
As if you wanted to
Say "hey Mick!" who else can clear a ball
The way I do

Danny believe we never wanted this
We thought this time he'd keep all of his promises
We thought you were the mid we always dreamed about
Mick let the dream go
And the promises broke
The hope is running out...


(I know what you're thinking - The Cure for a battle song? Is he mad? But doubt not, fellow Stanleyites, this is precisely what Danny would have wanted. You see, like all the misunderstood greats that have passed before, he too is a true renaissance man. He yearns not for thudding beats of war drums, but for soft, melodic rock. Yet another layer of intrigue in the infinitely-pieced jigsaw puzzle that makes up the great man.)

Very good, i think this is just as fitting:

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

2x
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times

"Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy
Danny Boy..."

2x
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times

"Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour..."

2x
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

 

[morgoth]

Surely this thread is a joke?

Danny Stanley has played some of the worst football I have seen in the last 10 years when given a run in the AFL! Has everyone forgotten that comical game v Freo where he went from bad to utterly disgraceful?

The reason he is not playing is that he has no composure, his decision making is too slow and he is playing at the level he is suited to, VFL!

 

[Optimax]

Optimax is now Lord of War and his assault on the intelligensia of EB&W has the unbelievers gurgling apoplectically into their port.

Lol and i am taking the fight tonight into nicks.

Clearances for the people, the clearnace Manster must be unleashed, PLAY DANNY STANELY

Take a chill pill mate!!!!
It is all a bit of fun. Everyone is just trying to pump up Stanners. He has his fair share of knockers as every player does but this is a positive thread for once so if you do not like what people write about him don't read this thread. Bag him somewhere else as I am sure you probably have done before.
Who knows if he will make it but all we are asking is he be given a few games in a row to see.Remember Toovs you probably wrote negatives about him for the past two years also. He was given a chance to play games and now look once settled into the pace etc people want him in their 22. How times change!!!! It is easy when you personally do not like a player to pick out the negatives they do and overlook the positives we all do that...

Brothers and sisters, there are dissenters in our midst.

Of course, it should be noted that the resistance is coming from a "robot" and a creature whose name translates roughly to "black enemy".

But this is only the beginning, my friends. The path to victory will be fraught with all manner of obstacles, great and small. The loyal Stanleyite approaches each one much the same way that Danny approaches a contested ball - with courage and tenacity.

Toovey, rookie list, cost us nothing v pick 20 something. I expect nothing from rookies, what they give is a bonus, but pick 20's are another story.

 

[fraser25]

disengagement! this is neccessary with dissenters, do not recognise their cause. any engagement should result in expulsion from la revolucion and instant death ofcourse.

 

[Spagger83]

Freedom Granted.
Where to Danny?? Port Melbourne Borough, Tasmania Devils or Frankston Dolphins??
Should be able to make leadership groups down at those clubs.

 

[well left]

I've been with the majority of posters on this one for a while and this thread is both humourus and well deserved.

He seems to be what we need. Now he might not be able to replicate that form at AFL level - many haven't - but I feel he deserves a chance, and by chance I mean 2-4 games in a row to adjust and see what he can do.

Maybe morgoth (and it seems the coaching staff) is right and he is no good but I'd like the opportunity to see that with my own eyes....
