Please note: This is an online event.

Join Leigh Meyrick and Matthew Hagias for a chat about the bizarre traditions and idiosyncrasies that make the footy game uniquely ours.

From the funny to the offensive, the emotional to the political, banners come in all shapes and sizes and have evolved considerably, reflecting not only a changing cultural landscape but a changing game itself. Footy Banners: A Complete Run-Through is a collection of historical images, stories and unforgettable moments that pay homage to one of our game’s longest-lasting rituals.
