Bombers Request Friday Night Game In Round 1 2017

Bombers Request Friday Night Game in Round 1 2017 for the Suspended Bombers to make their comeback in front of a Blockbuster. They have suggested Melbourne as their Opponents.

 

And of course Gill will accede to anything to help this poor, misunderstood victim of a club back on their feet.

Bloody cheek of them.

Whatever it takes.


As I said in the other thread this was first raised... Sickening. The disregard for the football public and the arrogance of that place.

The overwhelming comments on facebook on the herald sun article were "why would we celebrate drug cheats, give them 440 sunday in canberra"

We should embrace this game and since it's at the MCG, it should be a home game for the Demons so that we can benefit from the massive crowd on hand to welcome the country's major contributor to the cause of drug cheating. 

In fact, while they're at it, the AFL could provide free entry to the families of all convicted drug dealers and invite the head of Russia's Olympic Committee to toss the coin at the start of the game. Australia Post could launch a new stamp with Stephen Dank's picture on it. 

Half time entertainment: Neil Young to sing, "The Needle and the Damage Done".

Bring it on AFL - the concept would be in line with everything you've done in the past decade for the integrity of the game.

 

“We always seem to play an away game, or a game at Etihad Stadium in a secondary timeslot. Said Campbell.

Maybe because shitihad is your home ground you Muppet!

Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs should be the opening Friday night game

Essendon can play at 8 pm on Sunday night in Darwin.  Fark the drug cheats.

Out of interest, when was the last time we played Essendon as the home team?

A guy at work said 2010 iirc, but I think it has been twice in the last ten years, but we usually play them as the away team at the G.

Here's a list of clubs that deserve a friday night game ahead of essendon

Adelaide

Port

Freo

West coast

Brisbane 

Gold coast

Sydney

Gws

Hawks

Pies

Tigers

Dees

Doggies

Saints

Kangas

Blues

Cats

Casey

Boolarra reserves

The wimbledon hawks

South darwin under 7s

 

 

Of course they want Melbourne - they beat us this year.

And I believe they beat us only because of all the 'March to the G' hype, the fanfare etc and they played out of their skins on emotion.  Unsettling for our young team.  They want to repeat the fanfare and the hype to build up their emotion again.  But we will be ready this time.

Sorry, but I would not go to that game - couldn't take another dose of Ess smug arrogance, pretending their players are innocent making them out to be heroes.  Nauseating!!

Edit: Of Course having Goodwin, Melksham and Hibberd at Melbourne for their first game would help them build their hysteria to an even greater frenzy.

It's crazy, all to avoid wearing a clash jumper.

The fact that we aren't wearing a red clash jumper today is a disgrace.

Since when does the bottom team get Friday nights!  No other 'low' clubs get prime FTA time slots.  They get ANZAC Day, The Indigenous Game vs Richmond.  They do not deserve another blockbuster let alone another prime FTA time slot. 

STKilda, Bulldogs, North and Us have had to earn them the hard way - on our merits by winning games, not having them handed to us on a silver platter.  Will be interesting to see how many Friday night games we get!!!!

I bet they did not have the courtesy of asking our club to participate before making their request to the AFL.


They are arrogant tossers but I doubt even Gil would be silly enough to grant this. However, you can be sure that the AFL will find a dozen other ways to bend over and give them every possible advantage.

Why is everyone complaining? I'd love this match to go down 

Because any decent sporting peak body would not applaud the return of players banned for drug cheating, but give it a low profile.  What would it say to WADA and the world to be seen to be celebrating their return as if the club was a poor hard done by victim?  I can only hope that other clean sporting bodies in Australia lean on the AFL to stop this madness.   If you love this match to go down because it may put $ in the hands of the MFC or whatever, think again. There are more important considerations.

Darwin's our gig. Let them play Sunday night in Wellington (NZ)!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
