the funny part is that they answered their own question. they are cracking the sads because we took an initiative off them. and then question us, and then state maybe its because we stole their prospective sponsor. i mean, why bring it up? we never went running publicly over mission foods. hypocrisy if you ask me.

the NT like Tas is a free market for any AFL club to develop. - Sour Grapes

if the WAFL leauge was so important to the doggies why did they not sponser them in the 5yrs they have been developing - Sour Grapes

Smorgan + co are quickly becoming the new biggest wingers in the AFL. Put up or Shut up!

Agree. Poor choice from Campbell Rose to bring this into the public. Doesn't help the Dogs at all.

Its probably the first time in 2-3 years that another team openly cares what we are doing.

Excellent signs ... were starting to ruffle a few feathers. I like it.

I whole heartedly agree!

The Bulldogs can cry me a river! What a bunch of hypocrites indeed! :rolleyes: They shouldn't be complaining at all seeing as they got a fantastic sponsorship deal from Mission Foods and the Melbourne Demons were sponsorless during the Pre-Season competition! :mellow: Luckily. we got Hankook and Kaspersky before the proper AFL season started.

It's about time the Melbourne Demons started to make other clubs angry. Most of time we barely raise an eyebrow. I'd rather have other AFL supporters be angry at our club than merely laughing at us. :angry:

The more (positive) news about the Melbourne Demons in the newspapers the better.

Keep up the good work Jimmy and Co!!! ;)

To cry like this means he is upset, to get upset over the two issues he brought up means they have lost out on something big, sponsering the womens league great but not a big loss, losing 1.2mil pa from the NT government that would make you cry, hopefully this is the case.

Absolute hypocrites after the way they poached the sponsor we had teed up. Hope we can turn this into an advantage for ourselves

"There is not a skerrick of animosity or resentment towards Melbourne in any fashion from our president, myself or our club, however I've often wondered if those sentiments have been reciprocated," Rose said.

Not sure how they can take a moral high ground in any of this considering they pounce on all the hard work MFC did with 'Mission' and now come out in the media to say they are squeaky clean but want to have a whinge at the same time. If they honestly thing that everything should just fall in their lap through whatever avenues then they need a reality check. Darwin isn't just an idea of the Bulldogs anyway, Port Adelaide have been considering for a while now about playing a small but long term part in the Darwin market, finances have forced the issue with them of late but they have traditionally had reasonably strong links with NT football.

Cry me a river Doggies, cry me a friggin river.

This has got to be one of the biggest whinges of recent times.....

Last time I checked the NT is an open market to whoever gets in there with the best deal. It is not "owned" by the Dogs no matter what they arrogantly seem to think. And as for the Women's League, well if they were doing such a bang up (pardon the pun) job on this front then the alleged initiative they seem happy to crow about now would still be with them wouldn't it?

But to publicly [censored] out another club trying to make its way in a competitive market (something obviously forgotten by WB hierarchy), and a former employee personally for making a go elsewhere is just pathetic. Especially when they really don't have a moral high ground to take after their dealings with Mission early in the year (which ironically we did not here our club publicly bitching about).

Grow up Bullies or you will be made to sit in the corner with a dunce hat on your heads :rolleyes: !!!

Exactly.

Lucky the Federal Government put in for their new setup at Whitten Oval. How Mission Foods sponsor was of the belief the Dogs at the time would have more community exposure.... :wacko: They should have held off longer to learn about Casey. Their loss.

If it wasn't for the MFC, they wouldn't have the 1954 Premiership. :o:lol:

How's their membership figures this year? Spiralling down and dropping off I think.

How will they be on-field without when Aker, B.Johnson, Hahn and Eagleton......? Premiership contenders? ..Ha!

They better make the most of what they've got this year, because here come the Mighty Demons!! :angry:

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
