Essendon vs Melbourne MCG Round 2

Recommended Posts

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!!

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

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

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

We should recreate the "hird" moment for them...Who can we get to line up whom ??   :rolleyes:

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
