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

If they do, it would be a big mistake. Believe it or not, there are a lot of Essendon supporters who believe Hird has badly damaged their club. You wouldn't want to alienate them. It's just too soon.

I know there are plenty on here (cue Beelzebub...) who will say he should never return, but I suspect he will one day. But I'd be surprised if it's before all the legal issues have been resolved. So let's say, not before the end of 2017.

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.

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.

md, understand where you are coming from but my desire to support my club exceeds my distaste for essendope

also as someone said this game is a replacement home game (for NT games) so it is free entry for all members

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

What the hell is this comment????

You would not go to a game to support your footy side coz a few bucks of your entry fee will go to the other side..

Some people amaze me..Will you never go to a Bombers home game again??

I'll be there.. I'll be cheering home the Dees.. I'll be sticking up as many bombers supporters as I possibly can..

Hopefully they start on each other at the opening bounce and Oliver gets a chase down holding the ball tackle on parish to start the game off.

The Essendon Football Club continue to be the most arrogant bunch of delusional knobs in this industry. For them to march in support of drug cheats is simply astonishing!  They have learnt NOTHING during this whole sorry saga.  Their supporter base and organisers of this stupid march from Fed square is another example of blind defiance and denial of drugs in sport.

This is not anything to celebrate.  They are arrogant fools.

The Dee's will smash them!

Thanks DC but as an MCC member they all feel free to me. I may reconsider, I just hate the thought that a big crowd would be showing support for the drug cheats.

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.

Absolutely true. The players still talk of the roar of the Melbourne supporters at the Essendon game last year. It really does makes a difference.  

Essendon supporters will be there in their droves so everyone has to put aside their conflicted emotions and support their team. This is a really important game for our development and direction as a Club. We are feeling it and I am sure the players will be the same.

For anyone concerned about paying to go and giving money to the coffers of the Bombers if you are a member then there is no excuse. A replacement game, I wouldn't imagine they would get much if anything from Melbourne members coming.

Fan support must be absolute, it's what has always impressed me about Richmond and Collingwood (and even Essendon). They're fans have put up with a lot of crap over the years but stuck fat and turned up in good numbers, it's time we started making some noise.

On a side note I am seriously getting sick of us CONSTANTLY having an away game to them at our bloody home. Can we for once have one home game against them? It's decisions like this that make me feel the AFL is quite happy for us to stay under their thumb.

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?

I'm guessing you heard Dave Colbert this morning on SEN with KB ?

He stated that this should not be a celebration of the past and that Dees' fans should turn their backs on the Bombers rather than applaud a disgraceful regime.

I'm all for relentlessly booing them every time one of the drug cheats is referenced or shown on screen, and I'll be encouraging non-MFC people to come and do the same. 

A tribute to cheats should not be happening to begin with, but the best we can do is let them know we don't stand for it.

Also, blowing them out of the water would be really, really nice.

Don't really understand people boycotting this game because of Essendon. If I was in Melbourne I would be making a point of going so I could very loudly let them know what I think of that Club. I would also really really enjoy seeing 1) them getting smashed by us; 2) our boys getting their first back to back wins in quite a few years; 3) the transformed execution of the new game plan; 4) Hoges kicking a big bag.

Why wouldn't you go to see that.

Acually no I didnt hear that, glad someone else was thinking along the same lines, and they have a decent reach audience on SEN!

Appalling how they will seemingly be celebrating their misdeeds, I'm glad Colbert is constantly on their case

I simply can't believe that they plan to give the players who have been suspended for using banned substances, a standing ovation. It would be hilarious if weren't true. They officially have zero shame.

i support Melksham now he's one of ours, but I'm not giving the bloke a standing ovation.

Except that they have. Don't misconstrue this as 'whoa is Essendon'; but: The club had premiership points stripped in 2013 and they missed the finals. They were fined. Their coach and senior staff were suspended. They've lost a whole swag of supporters (many to the AFL altogether). More prosaically, they lost the chance at a premiership for a whole generation of players (regardless of your views on those individuals' culpability). They must now rebuild with draft sanctions and will be un-competitive for a number of years. 

To say they haven't been punished (and rightfully so) is simply false. So will happily be there, cheering on my team against the opposition, no matter who they are, just like I do every other week.

    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.

    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
