How to protest against the AFL's decision to suspend Viney

[Jarka 767]

There are two ways to protest against the AFL's moronic decision to suspend Viney for two games.

The first is to boycott Melbourne games. To me this is not an option because it will hurt our club more than the AFL.

The best way is to boycott the sponsors of the AFL. But you need to tell them that you're doing it, send a message to the AFL that you will boycott their Corporate Sponsors in protest and then send a message to each one explaining why. Don't be aggressive, just tell them that whilst they sponsor the AFL you won't be using their products.
This is the only way to make the AFL listen to the people that makes their large pay packets possible.

Here is a link to the AFL's sponsors:

The more people who do this the more impact there will be.

What about a raw egg with no.7 on it?

BT & Richo will be walking on egg-shells?

[Ted Lasso 17,318]

Still going with good old fashioned riot!!

bring back the glory days!

[Mickey 4,248]

Just do what we should do anyway. Attend the game instead of watching it on TV, if you're able to

[deeflog 679]

the biggest message would be to not attend saturday night, and have no one in pink on the ground for their "show case" game for weekend and make it a disaster

Anyone who boycotts this or the Melbourne game because of Viney is a disgrace.

The best form of protest is to attend the game.

Would love to see all supporters of all clubs showering the grounds (for their respective games) with marshmallows... maybe pink ones at the MFC v Bullies game?

[KingDingAling 3,683]

MFC should protest by playing Viney anyway.

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

One thing soccer fans do is protest well, at times they organise for stands to empty at a certain time, or not to sing, turn their backs, banners etc

... and start by Boycotting the powerful clubs, who steal all the marquee games & TV rights.

Stop watching the Pies/Blues/Bummers/ on TV !

patronise the lesser clubs, to help our game out... stop making the powerful clubs, More powerful.

Funny how the biggest covert critic of PJ's push for Anzac-eve game was Edward "loose tongue" McGuire.

The question needs to be asked, is Eddie losing it?

He might have early onset neurological condition. How does an A grade experienced professional come out with "Ape" and the C word on live TV in the space of one year.

Must be the half an inch of makeup he puts on before Ed & Derm. I just want to scrape it off with a shovel.

Another good protest would be Andrew Demetriou to go on a hunger strike.

Win-win.

why punish the poor local souvlaki store owner?

[praha 10,575]

At quarter-time we stage a mass crowd protest: We all turn our back on the ground and look inward at each other - the fans.

Or we could place paper bags on our heads.

Wait, what are we angry about?

you'd have to wonder if he's been sniffing baking soda again ?

too early in the AM for an I AM to think clearly.

we could all throw marshmallows on the ground at half time

Well Said Clint. The bigger crowd the better and some form of huge response to Viney as he walks around the boundary to do an interview or whatever..

Anyway, he'll win the appeal and then get 30 kicks and lay 9 tackles.

that could be the stupidest idea I have heard yet. Take it out on a worthy charity that has already lost much of the publicity it should be getting this week.

[ManDee 7,101]

So far I have phoned Channel 7. They took my complaint and said it would be passed onto the Director of Sports. I said that as a family we would be boycotting AFL sponsors products Channel 7 programs & sponsors until the Viney penalty is removed.

I have emailed AFL, Coca Cola, Telstra, Foxtel, Gatorade, Carlton United, NAB all basically the same message but specific to each of their products, more to come.

I am as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!

The Age has gone on a 24 hour strike presumably in support of Jack Viney. They'll claim it's actually in support of in house photographers being made redundant but surely with Demon supporters such as Jesse Hogan and Richard Willingham as reporters my assessment of the situation is closer to the mark.
