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

I'll be there - louder and more obnoxious than usual, and I will be handing out plenty of free advice to all Essendon supporters within earshot.

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.

Introducing the kids to the Melbourne Football Club is one of life's great pleasures!

My eldest lad just turned 7 in January and has been a member for all 7 years... He lives and breathes his beloved Demons and it makes me so proud considering we live in the $hithole that is Adelaide! :lol:

Enjoy it.... And hopefully our children enjoy more success than their poor old parents! :)

What fine or suspension did the club receive after the 34 players were found guilty of using PED's? --- NONE

If one attends the game one supports their team. Financial benefit. 

I will stick to my meaningless boycott and you can help fund EFC.

No, if you attend the game you support OUR team.

There couldn't be much worse for our boys than to show up to this horror show of a tribute to drug cheats and arrogance with a stadium full of Essendon supporters cheering them on and no support for Melbourne.

Like with every game we play, the more support we can get (whether home or away), the better it is for the players.

Do you refuse to attend Carlton games because they once cheated by breaching the salary cap?

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

I have taken the major step of ensuring that I am out of the country altogether when the Bomber fans give their team a standing ovation before the game on 2 April.

I do however, hope that after the game, the standing ovation will be for the Melbourne team. 

That's the main thing that matters.

I'm not commenting on boycotting, but I wouldn't compare breaching the salary cap (or 'not tanking') with what Essendon has done.

a Bombers-supporting mate told me he was at training and somebody drove past and wound down the window and yelled YA F--ING DRUG CHEATS! in what must have been an hilarious act of drive-by abuse. My mate said he realises the club will never, ever live it down. I enjoyed the conversation.

Chicago Black Sox. A hundred years later, it is still remembered.

Even in this country, with bugger all pedigree in baseball!

EFC will never, ever live it down.

Glorious. This must be the attitude of ALL MFC Supporters and Members attending Round 2

 

Give it to them hard...

Reminds me of the sadist and the masochist

How are fines and suspensions "self inflicted wounds"?

Much like our punishment for "bringing the game into disrepute..but definitely not tanking", Essenson have been punished. There have been some detours along the way, but they've been punished. How do you want to further punish them? More fines? Jail time? The club is stuffed for years to come. I hate them as much as anyone but get serious.

Your protest on the grounds they haven't been punished is flimsy at best, and ultimately meaningless. Attend the game and support YOUR team.

 

It seems that they will be allowed draft picks according to their finishing position, which surely will mean pick 1 or 2 - rewarded.

They still have the ANZAC game - rewarded.

They still have numerous prime time matches - rewarded, even though they are likely to be poor matches.  Rewarded.

Players will be missing both from EFC and other teams.  Top up picks for the offenders; none for the others.  Rewarded.

WADA rules for team involvement as I understand should involve team suspensions.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
