Anyone see the Four Corners special with Hal Hunter?

Essendon should not be allowed in the AFL, and how Stephen Dank has avoided jail is baffling.

[Melbman2 226]

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?

What do you think it means?

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'll be heading over tomorrow with a bombers supporting mate and couldn't give a rats about all this stuff. Just want to watch us smash them, sing the song and fuel my rampant alcoholism.

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.

Kicking a club while it's down sounds a little cowardly to me. Let's just beat them.

They're foul on bomberblitz

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)

[Biffen 12,943]

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.

 

[Wormburner 674]

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.
