Protest for Jack....


Pates

Recommended Posts

I like the marshmallow idea. Im am buying a pack tommoro! We need to do something... this isn't a mfc thing this is an AFL thing! All lovers of our great game are effected by this, some are blinded by the fact that he was wearing a mfc gurnsey but he was wearing a afl one when he got rubbed out! Adrian Anderson must go!

Bring along score cards like they use at Diving events. Every tackle you hold up a score. 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks... Get the entire cheer squad in on it and it'd be noticed all right.

That is good...serious with a good bit of Aussie humour, which the AFL do not have.

BOMBARD KB's show on SEN Tomorrow morning demons....i am so sick of that little Ned Flanders clone!!!

How does that help anyone?

We lost one player to a poor decision, it has been happening since the existance

Get over it. Go tomorrow and enjoy the game win lose or draw.

Protest for Jack, by being that little bit louder in support of the team. That's what Jack would want.

Sitting outside isn't going to make a difference. Nor is going on a 2 hour famine.

My suggestions for banners:

  • 3 Weeks for Jack's Hit
  • The AFL doesn't know Jack's Hit
  • Who took Azaria? Jack did.
  • Who shot JFK? Jack did.
  • A handshake from Jack will cost him 3 weeks.

Feel free to plagiarise / improve etc.

Maybe the players should remove or cover-up the AFL logo on their jumpers

Won't happen but would be a nice message

Yeah I like this idea, just cver it up with black tape or something. Although I dont want players to distracted from the game. The best message is to win I think and win well. Lay a few huge tackles!

I like something built around "Jack's hit"

"AFL doesn't know Jack's hit"

needs more work.....hmmm

I agree High Tower - we need to turn up in numbers and support the team proudly and loudly.

The only way to answer is to win and/or provide a spirited content and show the football world what we stand for and that we are on the rise

We should all send as many Marshmellows to AFL House in protest ala the campaign in the US to save the TV show Jericho from cancellation where fans sent 18,000 kg of nuts to the CBS network.

Fan protest saves US show Jericho

Post-apocalypse TV drama Jericho has been saved from cancellation following an internet campaign by its fans.

US TV network CBS axed the show last month, triggering a protest that culminated in shipments of nuts being sent to the broadcaster.

"Wow!" said CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler in a letter to the fans. "You got our attention."

Tassler said seven new episodes of the drama had been ordered, with more to follow if ratings improve.

"We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks," said Tassler.

"PS. Please stop sending us nuts."

'Incredible'

Jericho is set in a Kansas town whose residents have survived a series of nuclear explosions throughout the US.

The show launched last autumn to positive reviews and encouraging ratings.

After it returned from a three-month mid-season break, however, its viewing figures plummeted, prompting CBS to cancel the show.

The decision enraged fans, who started a letter-writing campaign.

After the season finale, in which one of the characters responds to a demand by saying "nuts", protesters also began sending peanuts to CBS offices.

According to the Nuts For Jericho campaign website, about 18,000 kg of nuts were delivered before the network capitulated.

Yeah, i heard that...We need to win games to make our points stronger...this club is perceived as a joke or an annoyance to the greater media.

If Chris Judd was charged with the same offense what would the penalty be??? 3 weeks....

He is well out of touch Bartlett and I'm sick of him peddling the AFL agenda.

He peddles to suit himself having been one of the architects on the rules committee.

Yeah I had to switch off the radio when he came on, he doesn't even TRY to see the other point of view and continuously cut people off during their argument to make them seem foolish (mind you many people who ring in can sound pretty foolish on their own!). Case in point, one listener started to say that Trengoves tackle was an accidental part of the game and as soon as he said the word accidental....BAM! KB cut him off and said, "well it wasn't accidental, it was incidental as stated my the MRP", just because they say something is doesn't make it so Bartlett. People are allowed to have opinions.

Protests would be a bit baffling for the 99% of people at the game who don't read the forum. Better hand out some leaflets outside :rolleyes:

P.S - The banner should read JACK TRENGOVE KILLS [censored] DEAD

    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
