AFL Kicking the Dees while they're down

[Zouz Kitty]

Noticed quite a bit of activity on Geelong Cats supporters Fb page and went this post on the AFL's Fb page, which says

"Long Suffering Demons"
Melbourne prepares for its longest week: http://afl.to/Y73gqh

and proceeds to ask ppl to vote on how many games Melbourne will win in 2013 -

"Fill in the gap: The Dees will win __ games in 2013."

99% of responses expressed how appalling it was to belittle Melbourne Demons and the AFL replied to my Tweet criticising them with -

"@AFL: @Kuvlotik Hi. We saw the post as a genuine question to ask while the club/team is a talking point. Not something negative or belittling."

BTW, My Dad was a Melbourne supporter, who took me to the VFL every weekend in Sydney, I follow Geelong.

I'm not sure what to say.

Stuff you AFL!

Booooooooo.

It's just journalists looking to cash in on the flavour of the month, even if they're AFL employed.

Anything that can slam a club they are all over. Disappointing this has come from the AFL site too. Expect this from the HUN or The Age but not from the AFL site itself.
