Brock McLean article - "Tackling footy's silence on gays"

Could say the same about your makeup...

I'm very touched that you are paying such close attention to my makeup. It is ,however, not "the same". Makeup is an artform that requires a deft touch. Your colouring in with a Derwent while biting your tongue to aid concentration is no doubt challenging for you, but hardly comparible.

Well you certainly are the Ken Done of that art form then my friend...

Gay man says and asks Barn Dee "My round is next, Barn, would like a beer" BarnDee says "thanx mate"

Gay man walks off to the bar

BarnDee turns around to his straight mate as says "did you see that? He just hit on me"

His straight mate says"no chance Barnee even those gays have standards".

In the West ... it is commonly estimated that HIV/AIDS is close to 50 times more prevalent in the gay community than in the rest of the population.

So no, it's not bullsh1t. It's the reality. It's not a statistic you can sweep under the rug.

A Lesbian is far less likely to be infected by HIV/AIDS than a straight man. Research the stats

Why are we talking about HIV/AIDS?

Yeah that's what we really need more moronic supporters! Because we all know that a lack of empathy and intelligence equals PASSION!

NO!

more loud supporters create atmosphere & market sales in merchandise... and more excitement from opposition supporters, which turns into more TV exposure.

not to mention more cheer for the players to get motivated by. (Yellow & Black) or are you deaf to the sound of common sense?

How dare you knock my mates make-up.

Just when were we getting somewhere with Brocks sister.

Next thing you'll be discussing lesbians again.

Don't look for logic where there is none... You also missed the 8 pages about Islam and the new topic in this thread of outdoing each other with snide remarks...

Now you've done it. You mentioned that which cannot be mentioned and, as a result........

...... Stuie has gone and dusted of his sense of humour. Unfortunately it also needed a grease, oil change and update. But maybe one day he'll give me a stitch. Keep it up.

For some of Stuies jokes, you just have to BE there, and we aren't.

It's unfortunate for him but as any comic genius will verify , it takes years to perfect your act.

He will be ready for the amateur night in about 2313.

Ahhhhhh Biff, just getting funnier, the old far off in the future kind of jokes... Keep it up old chap, you're truly the life of the party.

the need for more vocal supporters,

the need for wider demographic in our supporter base,

less stuffiness,

less clapping & more yelling @ games,

etc,

we have a long way to go to catch the Tigers & the Pies, re barracking for a team... we are still asking for permission to stand, when a wave comes past.

Fully agree Dee-luded. We don't even sing the song well.

Yes good point. I'm convinced now. If only we had a higher percentage of racist, homophobic, misogynist red-necks as fans our song would be sung with much more ferocity which in turn would result in more wins and the promised land would be ours!

Yes! And that lot can play the banjo as well!

You guys have your wires crossed a bit.... Binman is saying that there's some poor "Collingwood like" comments in this and the Jurrah threads, Deeluded is saying it would be great to have the same kind of enthusiasm, passion, and "one-eyedness" as Collingwood supporters. They are totally different points. Both are correct in their individual statements IMO.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
