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...

...any questions?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
