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.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
