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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
