Feel free to call me a [censored] with this idea, but I'm thinking that since the club backed Trengove up and we've back him online, I reckon if we want to make a real statement that this decision is wrong not just for Jack but for the game itself we should do some kind of protest before the game on Saturday.

The only reference I can think of that we can start from is the Melbourne victory fans turning their backs on the ground prior to a game (v NZ from memory). I'm not saying this the one we specifically go for but if anyone has ideas and wants to do this I'm open to it.

It's a shame it's not at the G where our fans would've been more prominent and stood out.

the players should where the black arm band with rip tackle on it

Good thinking, black band, white text RIP Tackle. I reckon i'll do that, someone who has twitter should suggest it to the boys... obviously without the wording or else we'll get another "Please explain" from the AFL. Its pretty bloody obvious what we're trying to say, if you need an explanation your in the wrong job.

The players need to move on and concentrate on the game.

Fans should do that.

My idea is, every Melbourne supporter going to the game this week NOT enter the stadium.

We all sit outside and watch it on the big screen, cheer extra loud so the boys know we're there to support them, but not add a cent to the gate.

I'd be in that...

I got free Medallion Club tickets. Can I still go, or should I stand outside in the cold instead?

The best protest would be to compile a video of every tackle made this weekend by every player, send it to the AFL, and get them to come to the club and explain to the players what they are and aren't allowed to do.

I know it wouldn't happen, but it be good to see one of our blokes in the defensive goal square put his arms in the air (because he can't tackle) and let a north bloke walk into an open goal.

We have 2 away games @ etiHard, back to back. Lets make a rolling 2 match protest. Don't go. Or roll up outside and don't enter. Or go to the wharf and watch there. We need to stand up as a Unit and be heard.

Fair Dinkum, this is a Big Issue. We need to take a stand.

I'll bring you a blanket and a flask of concrete.

It would be more awesome to take our anger out on that little turd Brent Harvey instead. Smash him into the turf, and see if the AFL dare lay another suspension on us.

I think we need to be Visable in the ground, BUT do not buy any food or beverages....Let the AFL pick up the Tab.

Totally. The team should tackle as aggressively as it possibly can this weekend. The more often these type of tackles happen, the less viable it is going to be for the AFL to keep rubbing out players.

The armband is a great idea. I will make sure I have one. Also, the more people with signs and banners protesting this the better. I am thinking of getting a big sheet to make a banner with, anyone else keen to assist? Lol

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
