Danny McGinlay, affectionately known as The Banner Man, has struck comedy gold on more than one occasion when drawing up mock banners for Zero Hanger in 2026.
But the double-header on Good Friday has provided an opportunity to work with Carlton's second-half fadeouts and North Melbourne's affiliation with the Childrens' Hospital, and how donations of any kind could help the Blues.
The later contest on Friday between Fremantle and Adelaide also relies on the Dockers' impressive winning streak over the Crows over the past decade.
As for the West Lakes club, the mock banner leans into the costly umpire blunder last week against Geelong (we all know what he's talking about. Hint: Tom Atkins).
