Round 1 Melb V GWS home game at the G see you there. Round 4 Round 5 Round 8 Round 9 etc see you there. ---Round 2 Away Ess V Melb I will take the day off.

DC we all have our own ways. I also boycott their sponsors and have told each and every one of them. I have told Foxtel that I will not watch programs featuring drug cheats and that I am considering dropping Foxtel completely if they continue to feature drug cheats in their programs. The AFL needs to understand that supporters don't like cheating. In addition EFC makes me angry, I don't need anger in my life, so I will take the day off. This may all be futile but at some level I feel that I have made a statement and maybe it might make a difference.

P-Man, I have not critised your view, you have been unable to answer the questions I posed, perhaps because it does not suit your argument. I donate money every year to our club, I have my view about Essendon and that is different to yours. I will barrack for our team from home. I hope we win and those attending have a great day. Edit:- P-Man it is a five hour round trip for me and that means plenty of thinking time. The EFC saga rolling around in my head for that period of time is enough reason not to go. I hope you and all the other supporters that go have a great day and enjoy beating the cheats. It is too hard for me to forget and I don't need the anger that I feel watching EFC and co.

Sorry Bob, I don't mean to be, perhaps it is my sense of humour or maybe you are over analysing me. I am a Melbourne supporter like you, I like to have a laugh and am a bit of an antiestablishmentarianist. (Some say wankyr)

Will they let me in with this on my Tshirt?

What fine or suspension did the club receive after the 34 players were found guilty of using PED's? --- NONE If one attends the game one supports their team. Financial benefit. I will stick to my meaningless boycott and you can help fund EFC.

Tempting.

Ethan, it will be the only MFC - MCG match that I miss.

So exactly what penalty did the club receive after the 34 were found guilty of receiving PED's? You do mention some self inflicted wounds, but they have received no penalty.

I like overpaying the bill by a small amount or even an estimate of the next bill, many organisations will send multiple letters saying do not overpay. Then I keep doing it, drives them nuts, in the old days I would get interest paid to me on my credit card at their going rate. (18% if I recall correctly) Best return ever from a bank. They have since fixed this, damn.

Or airlines that quote a price then charge you a fee to use a credit card but they do not accept any other form of payment.

Thanks DC but as an MCC member they all feel free to me. I may reconsider, I just hate the thought that a big crowd would be showing support for the drug cheats.

Ron, you gave me goosebumps.

Steve, perhaps I have a simplistic view but I have a problem with drug cheats in sport. The club that organised a PED program that led to 34 players being banned have not yet been punished. I have few options, I do not buy their sponsors products and do not go to their games.

MCC/MFC member. I think (not sure) that the MCC distribute to the home team.

Essendrug home game, I am not going. I refuse to show support of any kind for the drug cheats.

Who would you most want to play against in a Grand Final? The loser.

Just ran this through Google translate, no luck. Can anyone translate?

Easy, take it out of the Brownlow booty.

And he dropped the mark.

George Pell cannot quite remember but if it happened it was bad. (To get caught)

This whole saga gets weirder the longer it goes on. Now if you are found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs you get paid in full to not attend your workplace. You continue to train with a convicted cheat at a school containing children and all that is ok! but if a player tackles another and they might get hurt that is a $1000 fine. Now I get it cheat, lie, use PED's put the game into disrepute but for christ sake don't tackle hard. Stop the world, I want to get off.

Oh I see convicted drug cheats hanging around school children.

Funny how many don't rate ruckmen until they have a dominant one. On ballers become stars when they are spoon fed by a dominant ruckman. We may have a gem in Gawn. If I were in the midfield I would buy Gawnie lunch every day.

Why can't the club offer a percentage of the salary cap, whatever that ends up being? As our marquee player we offer 10% of the salary cap which this year would be about 1 million if the cap goes up to 13 million he gets 1.3 million. The 10% could be 7, 8, 9% whatever, so he could sign now knowing that he will get an increase based on percentage of the new total.
