Essendon vs Melbourne MCG Round 2

[Deestar9 1,634]

The Dons are organising a massive pre-game programme for this match . It will "represent their past, their present and their future" and they want this moment to stay with their supporter for the rest of their lives.  I can only hope that every Melb supporter turns up to the "G" that day , our home ground & the spiritual home of "clean " football, and supports our team in voice and numbers. A win is an absolute necessity!!

Essendrug home game, I am not going. I refuse to show support of any kind for the drug cheats. 

[Cards13 9,117]

Ess home game, dilemma in letting any of my cash go to the cheats.

[jnrmac 20,095]

I'm worried about this game. Massive walk to the G, many past players attending. A big build up for then in their first home game,.

I hope they get smacked round 1 and we follow up with round 2 but I'm nervous about it

If you have a 16 game MFC membership the money for your entry at away games goes to MFC

We have an opportunity to annihilate one of our rivals at the G. Who wouldn't want to be there to witness that?

MCC/MFC member. I think (not sure) that the MCC distribute to the home team.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Terrified about losing to them

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

I think that Dees supporters should be getting to as many games as we possibly can. While I'm sure that some disagree, I strongly believe that the crowd can make a difference in the result of a game.

Steve, perhaps I have a simplistic view but I have a problem with drug cheats in sport. The club that organised a PED program that led to 34 players being banned have not yet been punished. I have few options, I do not buy their sponsors products and do not go to their games.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,737]

This is a replacement home game so I will be there.... I want to watch us smash them!

Confidence jnr.

you can put it in the bank we will win the first two.

They can march up and down till they are blue in the face will make no difference to the result.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

If we turn up and play with the sort of intensity we are hoping to see week in, week out, we will pummel them. And it will be lovely.

Thanks Henry Bolte !!!!   Have the police found the report into the car accident yet ?????????

[DemonDave 1,089]

I go every week home or away in Melb, as AFL Membership gets me into away games without giving a penny to the home team, it's going to be a cringe-inducing sycophantic love in that's going to be hard to stomach.

Can we organise for all Dees fans at the game to turn their backs when the MC instructs all the Essendrug drones to applaud their drug cheats as a form of protest?

True, which I do, I may just have to bring my own food and drinks. heading along to the GWS game with my (he will be) 6 month old for his first taste of it.

My simplistic response is that there won't be any guilty players at this game so you can attend knowing that you'll be supporting clean players.

Just trying to help you find a way to get there, ManDee.

Wow pd I did not think anyone would pick that one up.

You are older than I thought.

to answer No still looking.

[JTR 2,846]

As mentioned already, this is a replacement home game, so anyone with an 11 game membership can get in.

 

Edit - as long as someone at the MCG remembers to press the magic 'button'. Took a while to get in for the first of our replacement games last season.

OD, there's something about your confidence that makes me feel more optimistic about the season ahead than I was a few weeks ago. I sure hope that you're right.

Ill be there. Want to see us bury these cheats.  Be there with oldest lad...a Bomber...only fair...he comes when a Dees home game.

For the first time in a decade we have a reasonable list. Baring a bad run with injuries our best 25  now have the skill level needed to compete with most teams.

I believe we are a better side than Essendon and we should win.

I wonder if they will use this occasion as an opportunity to rehabilitate Hird? First thing that came on my mind.
