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.

The Melbourne Football Club is back in town and some toes will be trodden on

I like it

Its not a 'Dog eat Dog' world anymore Smorgan

It's a DEMON EAT DOG world now

Slow news day.

[Supreme_Demon 3,916]

I whole heartedly agree!

The Bulldogs can cry me a river! What a bunch of hypocrites indeed! 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! 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!!!

Maybe the women didn't like the doggies style?

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

[Deeman 1,532]

A Rose by another name is "hypocrite"!

[Jarka 767]

The dogs have nothing to complain about, the NT Government has made it know that they want branding rights and the doggies have no space left, Melbourne on the other hand have space on the shorts.

"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.

Now I hope we nail the NT deal just to [censored] them off.

[deanox 10,045]

my personal preference is that we don't actually nail the nt deal, but bid them down a bit lol they go less money but still lose the home games...

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 !!!

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.... 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.

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:

[Gorgoroth 13,184]

Ha ha, the bullies can go f%&k themselves twice as far as I care!

I think it's great we have taken stuff of them and may we do that more often, god I hate that bloody club.
