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.

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
