Essendrug Game Protest

Is the one minute clapping for the banned players?

If so, then booing would be the perfect antidote to that load of farce. Although I'll either stay seated or turn my back.

Point being that booing would not be aimed at current players so much.

They seemed to have changed their tune a bit.  Game day on their website says:  The Bombers will Make a Stand for the future, through a series of events in the lead up to the first bounce...In an initiative created by the fans, organised by the fans and carried out by the fans – supporters will walk en masse to the MCG...At 2pm, our past and present champions will come together for the future.

'Make a Stand'  for the future seems so contrived and looks like a politically correct way of justifying what was called (is) a 'rally'.  The word future seems an afterthought to legitimise 'Make a Stand'.   Will be interesting to see what their banners say during the rally. 

Website doesn't say anything about a 1 minute clapping or whatever.   Can't tell where, how their champions will come together 'for the future'.  If there is clapping that is when they will probably do it. 

I read a few weeks ago that Neale Daniher is going to do the walk.  And to be honest if he is with their champions on the field I cannot boo him.  Too much respect for the man which greatly outweighs my distaste for efc and all it stands for.

On a related note it was great to hear Peter Jackson recently say that mfc will support Daniher's MND cause at the QB game like we did last year.

The whole thing is a joke portrayed to have a purpose.

All for the self edification of a Football Club that has disgraced itself and the AFL forever.

If it was China it would be regarded as a serious laughing stock, and, if it was in any other Football competition in the world it would be absolved, and renamed only

for convenience's sake...

Memo to AFL

I would really love to go to the MCG and watch my team, Melbourne, next weekend. However having just watched last week's Four Corners I cannot in conscience contribute one cent to the club that has treated its players, for whose care they were entrusted but instead used them as Guinea pigs in an uncontrolled unconscionable foray into human experimentation, with such disdain.

Is there any way that I could have my entry fee totally diverted to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute or a similar body undertaking ethical medical research?

If this cannot be arranged I regret that I will be unable to attend. 

what'd they say?

I grimace on occasions at the grammar used by some DL'ers, but from Bomberblitz:

"I know we laugh about their poultry numbers at games but this game is free entry for Melbourne home members in lieu of their selling of a home game to Darwin. Plus they are 'up and about'. They'll have decent numbers head along. "

Question: Are we free range or caged?

As long as we aren't on growth hormones.

As an expert on the matter, we are caged. How many of us truly "decided" to become obsessed with the Demons? No, being a Melbourne supporter is something you are born into. And that is the worst kind of cage; for we have never known freedom.

I'd like to see everyone sand on their seats & have their backs to the arena when the bummers song comes on as a silent protest... no Boos,  nothing but our backs to those bastardos.

Well we've been caged for NY on 50 Yrs,  save for a broken up decade of fun.

 

I'd like to think we are Breaking Free of those cages.

 

lets go Wild.

It'll be just our cluck if we lose.

Serious note: Any response by MFC members/supporters should respect ND (and to some extent PJ too)

I'm optimistic that this will destroy them for over a decade.

It will be nice to see them humiliate themselves as well.

Then thrash them and stomp on the remnants of their dignity.

I don't normally like kicking a sick dog but I'll put the steel caps on in this case.

I look at this in a different way....

It'd be a great time to stock up on the beer while they carry on with this crud. I figure it's a win win, the bar will be empty and I don't have to watch drug cheats walking around our home turf.

You think you've seen it all, then you see the AFL endorse the public support of convicted drug cheats.

Words fail me.

Liked Gaetano Prestia's comment "Melbourne set to .... clean up the bombers". Any relation to you know who.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
