Protest for Jack....

Featured Replies

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!!!

 

im just not going to this game.... too [censored] off..

How does that help anyone?

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

of the competition.

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.

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

Won't happen but would be a nice message

 

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.

Or they could all run through the banner wearing helmets...

and each carrying a spare one for their opponent?

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

the marshmallow idea is brilliant

I'm with it.

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.

Would like to see the players warm up in # 9 guernseys, then come out and tackle north relentlessly from the first bounce to final siren

Yeah he and Greg Denim were giving it to Melbourne this morning sating there was a second slinging motion in Jacks tackle....and how could they appeal...they must have a lot of money......dont know how much Frank Galbally would have cost the club...the club is in trouble.....and OH look at Collingwood 70,000 members....i sent a txt saying you should hear yourselves.....then switched off.

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

Personally I'm prepared to serve the same suspension as JT. I won't attend another game for another 3 weeks.

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
