Something as a group for JMac?

[WhyAlwaysMe]

maybe a patch like the 21 seen on this redskins guernsey, except obvs 35.

There is a petition going around to look at having a NAB Cup match played in McCarthy's home town of Sorrento between Port Adelaide and Collingwood.

What about our players wear guernseys that have a small #35 over the heart for all of next season ?

I made a discrete enquiry with the club about this.

 

[BIG DADDY]

Happy to help in any way
Going to come up with a product to sell in my store and offer all proceeds to help fund whatever approved activity

Maybe someone can talk to McDonalds about a sponsorship for a JMac Maccas deal with a $ donation to the foundation

Bit of an off-beat suggestion, but if a tribute game against Collingwood eventuates in some form, I'd like to see every Port player wear the #35 jumper, and all Collingwood wear #3, a la Jackie Robinson day in MLB.

Yeah I thought of that yesterday when I suggested the Bigfooty Port Board might do something for the Sorrento FC, but didn't say or do anything about it. Great that someone has got that up.

That's perfect. We don't need any RIP or anything on the jumper just the simple 35 would be a nice touch.

Also get these jumpers in the gear shop. Have a % go to a charity of the family's choice. Even if they bump the price by $20 a Guernsey to cover the donations.

 

[Adz2332]

Or auction off the match worn guernseys for a charity etc

do that aswell. But I think there would be alot of people who would want a jumper I know I would.

 

[Crow_Sting]

What about something about McCarthy on the Port Adelaide board.
The player of the year for example.
Something like The John McCarthy Memorial Bigfooty Player Of The Year?

 

[shewho]

When we kick goals next year, I will show three fingers on my left hand and five on my right. Hope it catches on.

Had a thought in the car on the way home, if its something we want to do as a group that will be permemant, to respect JMac and the club, then how about:

We purchase two guernseys, get #35 on the back of one of them, get someone with good photoshop skills to put together a good photo montage shot of JMac, and get them framed with the front of a home guernsey on the left, the photo montage in the middle, the back with the #35 on the right hand side, and donate it to the club.

That way its something that the club can hang up in the club shop or in the restaurant/bar, something thats respectful that people can look at when they go to the club.

In addition to that, if we wanted to do something for the Sorrento FC, we could do similar with a Port #35 guernsey, a Collingwood #3 guernsey, and two photos of JMac in action for Port & Collingwood.

It shouldnt cost any more than $400 I would think?


EDIT: Similar to the middle part of this, but with the photo where the footy is:

I dont mind the idea Macca.
Could I also propose that we consider doing something for his parents/Dani.... maybe something similar, however use it of a way of showing them that he had positively influenced us as a supporter base.
Whether that be a montage of photos (I'm sure Pete would have some he'd be willing to allow us to use) OR a guernsey / both.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Framing would be $400 in itself Macca.

But its a great idea, and I am sure you would be able to get the cash together.

$100 from me to kick it off.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Have been trying to think of something for Dani,

I know she has been trying to get her EP out for a while.

May be able to help her there.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I'm in for $1-200 whatever the go is but 3 would be great - Club, Dani and the McCarthy's.

 

[Macca19]

Even if it costs $1500 all up for 2 or 3 of them, im sure we can find 20-30 people to dish in $50-70 each to get it up and running.

 

[manureid]

Yep, in for those ideas.

 

[Portmanteau]

Look I don't want to sound like a sourpuss but I think that most of this stuff would be best left to (and executed by) the club itself. I'm very confident that the club and the AFL will honour him in a very tasteful fashion when the time is right.

Maybe the framed guernsey should be presented to Sorrento FC. Great way of showing support to his friends and family on a grassroots level.

I am sure the club will do that, but i think a lot of supporters are wanting to do something that is from them and from the heart as well.

 

[Asgardian]

We want to do something, not for recognition, but as a token to help with the healing process, ours, the clubs, the players, the family.

 

[no_remorse28]

i can chip in 1 to 2 hundred. Let us know when

 

[elsler]

yep count me in
