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:

For Toyota click on this link:

For Gatorade:

nab:

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

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

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?

... 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.

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.

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.

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!

    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
