All players, club officials and supporters at all footy matches played everywhere in Australia this weekend should wear black arm bands to mourn the death of our beloved game!

Wearing black arm bands is a way of showing respect for the death of a club great or friend.

As outraged as I am about the Viney decision, it does not come anywhere close to death.

I've got half a mind to come dressed in swathes of bubble wrap and a tutu. Can you picture me twirling delicately through the crowds as I try not to make contact with anyone around me?

How appropriate that this is the weekend when there will be a lot of pink stuff worn.

The game that Dimitriou inherited and swore to protect is no longer.

And hardly appropriate to make a political statement like this on a night where we want to spread awareness about breast cancer, and the thousands who die each year fighting for their lives in a hospital bed.

As someone who has lost a relative and close friend to breast cancer I hope this thread is seriously taking [censored].. Stupid and taseless considering the this great cause far outweighs a kid missing out for two weeks.

Bit of respect.

Sorry, DD. No disrespect intended. However, the entire footy community is up in arms over this, and they are entitled to ensure the AFL gets the message loud and clear. I have no doubt that can be done, while still maintaining the integrity of the Pink Lady event.

I am all for it Vagg but lets not overshadow this great cause.

Maybe not this week as it will no doubt have a msg regarding breast cancer awareness, and depending on the outcome of the appeal, perhaps the players should run through that at the Tigers game?

the front: Don't Forget

the back: TO PIROUETTE

PJ_12345 has suggested on 'changes...' thread that bubble wrap armbands would work. Funny, and to the point, and easy to do.

How about a sign that reads

'Don't think, D̶o̶ Pirouette!'

the front: Don't Forget

the back: TO PIROUETTE

Better stop the banners too.. someone might hit their head on it. Best the players just run around it and wave.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
