Bye Bye Bombers: Logo Change Considered

It's a bit of an epic effort of manufactured victimhood to turn

'A club is considering making less use of it's mascot image in branded material'

into

'the woke police are coming for everything'.

I mean...

    Is this just because the logo looks like it was taken from clip art in the early 90’s?

    Inspired Bombers logo change. I'm all for it. Kudos to Dee Viney Intervention.

    Loving the nickname suggestions too:

    • Essendon Pharmaceuticals (thanks Witches Hat - gut laugh!)
    • Essendon Danks (thanks demon 3164 - simply undeniable)
    • Essendon Pr*cks (my suggestion)

    Whats with all the lame references to drug culture? I don't get it.

    The individuals who were party to it  have long been out of the club.

    The individuals who were party to it,  are either dead (Bruce Reid), or have long been out of the club.

    The word " culture".... most apt.

    This is the crux of the matter.. their culture.

    The personas...one thing.. the context was the over-riding culture of the club.

    Don't implicate Bruce in it. He was a legendary human being. He had nothing to do with it.

    As my mate Huw says, you can sum Essendon up in two words . . . cul cha.

    Wokeism so damned insidious makes some people nervous and questioning our norms and beliefs, fortunately not those that have a strong culture and belief system supported by reality and history.

    In Kenya  the house keeper and the nanny were always removing the Demons kit from around my son’s crib. They were really disturbed by it, really had to explain that I was not a satanist and going to sacrifice the boy!!!.

    Likewise, Bombers kit not popular in the places I’ve worked (Lebanon/Sudan)

    I'm not sure what you mean here? Can you elaborate?

    Well I think ‘gliders’ is a far more environmentally appropriate name than ‘bombers’

    Though “bomber” can imply someone / something that bombs out.  Like finals.

    Nothing?  Was he blind, deaf or mute?  A doctor’s first duty is to his patient, not his paymaster.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
