Do Melbourne supporters want politics in the game?

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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
