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.

Absolutely perfect WYL and agree 100% - hurt the AFL where it hurts the most - The Hip Pocket. The decision against Trenners has nothing to do with the tackle or the rules it is all about AFL liability and henceforth $$$$$$....

Buy nothing at the ground and let the AFL foot the bill......Go to The Wharf hotel for your before and after game needs

We need our supporters to get to the ground in numbers and cheer on our boys. Trenners would want all supporters there....The last few weeks could be a turning point for the club and I think we have unleashed the future captain of the Dees in young Jack Trengove....

Get to Ethiad and Go Dees

Just posted a query on the "Contact us" section of the AFL website:

"Will the Match Review Panel ensure from now on that any and all tackles which result in an injury to the player tackled, regardless of the intent of the tackler, and regardless of his club, are severely penalised?

Will the field, boundary and goal umpires be directed to report any and all such tackles as they occur on the field of play?

Will the penalties for cowardly, deliberate off-the-ball elbow-to-the-face type incidents continue to be less severe than penalties for injuries caused unintentionally during the course of play?"

The auto reply came back:

"Your enquiry has been sent, you should hear back from us soon!"

AFL: I want action, not words.

I stand beside My Brother Jack.

I'm liking the armbands idea as it is simple and visible, but I this is something we should do as fans and let the players get on with the job. I'm not sure about going to the ground but not entering because the boys need our support and I'm sure hearing our roar lifts their spirits.

I'm guessing the TV cameras will avoid if possible any banners that support Jack, you will, if taking a banner, need to be in a prominent position for it to be picked up. Behind the goals?

You have no idea how blatantly angry i am about this. We have been completely ripped off and bullied by the AFL.Trenners is just a kid who loves playing with the boys and we owe it to him, the rest of the team and the game itself to make some kind of protest and make it hurt the AFL just as much as theyve hurt us. The armbands is a good idea and i also think that the marshmallows would work too if everyone in the stands contributed to it. We need to think of something quick smart and spread the word so everyone knows.

It would be awesome if we could get the kangas fans to come in on this as well to show that it is an across the board fan position and not just the bleatings of disgruntled Melbourne fans.

I think before the game as soon as the clock strikes 2pm. Everyone should bring a packet and pelt them from everywhere!!

I reckon we rename each end of the ground "The Jack Trengove End" and create two large banners to be placed there during the game. Whichever way anybody looks they will notice Jack's name.

Now that is good....particularly as it is a North home game!! I hate North..!

Are we on Free to Air or Fox this week??

The #freetrengove on twitter has been great.

If only there was a company out there with a bit of spunk willing to print a couple of thousand cardboard signs with freetrengove on them to pass out to punters. You know, like the ones that might say 'great goal' with the companies logo attached.

Channel 10.

And the cameras will definitely try and get shots of any Trengove banners.

(I hate North too and didn't realise how many other people felt the same. Pack of whingers).

I disagree. It would be 'newsworthy' and thus the media would show it, as WYL has said.

If you want a visible protest that is not over the top, how about when the coin is tossed every Melbourne supporter stand up and turn his back on the ground until the game starts and do the same thing for the whole 1/4 and 3/4 breaks. Also we don't buy anything at the ground so that their figures are affected. I can tip off a few mates in the media who will be on to it.

    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

    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
