I also think the flag unfurling was a tad boring and somewhat of an anti climax.
I thought it was about the fans....
I just expected more and when I seen the height of the flag pole I laughed.
Just think for a minute about how a college football team in the US would’ve of celebrated a flag raising ceremony of any kind, there would be marching band, cheerleaders etc.
I’m not saying I expected the opening ceremony of the Olympics but after 37 years and thousands of people some 4 generations of long suffering fans waiting with bated breath, and it was raised in about 3 seconds because the pole was only 2 feet longer the the actual flag.
Not a big deal but I just expected the club was going to do something better than what I experienced on Thursday night considering they had the whole off season to prepare for it.
Can’t get a flag pole much larger than that to stand without putting foundations into the ground which is obviously not possible at the MCG.
Fair enough then, but why use a flag pole?
Maybe it could’ve been attached it to a zip line and slowly made its way to the top of the stadium scoreboard and have it proudly flapping in the breeze above all the Tiger faithful.
My point was that it was supposed to be a celebration for us fans as that’s what’s the club said and I just thought it was a fairly lame and anticlimactic way to celebrate a premiership unfulrling we’ve been waiting so long for. I mean I’ve only been thinking about for a couple of days and already I’ve made some suggestions that are far better than what I experienced on Thursday night.
Thought they would’ve done better considering how long theyve had to think about it.
Just think about the fanfare of Dreamtime at the G and imagine what could’ve been acheieved if they worked a little harder and we’re just a little more imaginative in celebrating a major achievement we all could’ve enjoyed all the more.
