With the finals looming, and the AFL being actively taking a stance in political movements over the last decade; we're no doubt going to be subjected to the AFL promoting their viewpoint/position.

Personally, I think the fans are the backbone of the great game.

I'd like to know how Melbourne fans feel about this?

No.
I watch the footy for the footy.
Not the propaganda.

I agree, we all have our opinion and it's not up to the AFL, or one of the big Banks to tell me what I should do or say.

If this topic is being raised because of the recent referendum, then I have no issue with it as that was supposed to be apolitical (it was being pushed from both sides of the political fence)… I would be concerned though if they were pushing a particular political party.

I would much rather see sporting organisations completely distance themselves from any kind of advertising/promotion relating to alcohol and gambling.

I think this thread in the very least should be closed if not removed entirely. It could easily cause distention,  poor behaviour and name calling. The risk is just too high.

I have this feeling that it was our banter this morning that resulted in the No BS thread being banished to Siberia.

I was shocked to see our lighthearted posts deleted then astounded to see the whole thread removed from the main board.

Like you I am taking a big risk with my longevity on this site but no one reads this thread so we should be safe...:rolleyes:

Surely the mods are not that sensitive? And I just paid my membership.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
