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.

Not sure I want to see the mascot for your suggestion.

they could always switch name to the bummers

and have a logo of a graphic designer's representation of james hird's backside

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.

Complete with emitting sun light?

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
