"20,000?", says Bails, "It sounded like 70,000"

The atmosphere in the second half at the 'G yesterday was electric. We've all experienced hardship over the past 18 months, but we were finally rewarded for all the pain. It looked bleak at half-time, but full credit to us Melbourne fans for sticking around and supporting the boys. The noise we made in that last quarter was unbelievable - a very emotional experience for all involved. Yes, we're a small band of supporters, but we're loyal and deeply passionate about our team.

Great effort everyone!! Stick by the club, and to the supporters who weren't at the game yesterday, flock to the 'G for our big home game against the Hawks in a few weeks time!!

    I agree. The hawks game in three weeks time is very important for the MFC because itis our home game and we can expect a crowd of 35-40,000 (maybe more if we upset the crows at AAMI) and this is a great opportunity to get some profit for the club with a good crowd, its also a good opportunity to see either an awesome upset like yesterday or at the very least, see a classy team in hawthorn play (and beat us probably) but atleast we'll see some good footy! lol

    l tell you it was one of the most emotional wins l've ever seen and the best since we beat the tankers in the semi in 2000, l had my daughter on my shoulders and singing the theme song and had to stop myself from crying, it was beautiful. And supporters of other clubs think we have no passion for our club, how little do they know.

    The way Hawthorn are going???

    There will be at least 55-60 thousand people.

    The atmosphere was incredible.

    Truly one of the most amazing games I've been to. Even though the result means little, it was a huge victory for Bailey, the players and of course us. As long suffering fans, to experience such an amazing comeback and being surrounded by equally passionate supporters was just incredibely uplifting.

    Yeah that'd be sweet. I love a big crowd, regardless of the result (unless its against the Filth (haha that's such a good name for them) cos I can't stand collingwood supporters) but yeah should be a good game if you compare it to round 1 lol

    I am so jealous that I cannot be there for these kinds of matches.......

    I didn't even get to watch it on the box given we had the Swans on two networks up here. So I was left to listening to the radio over the internet while watching that AFL live scoring gizmo, with that nervous pit in the bottom of my stomach. But I must admit to getting a bit teary when the song came up.

    And with my birhday tomorrow, theboys have given me a truly great early present :D !!!

    It really was a loud, crazy yet intimate atmosphere at the ground yesterday.

    Full points to those who attended.

    There were heaps of new 'Melbournefc' flags being waved all over the ground, did the club hand these out before the game? They looked fantastic in the second half.

    Ah, Mondays are nice again!

    Reminded me of the MELBOURNE crowd at the power game last year. Very proud of the Melbourne faithful, as passionate as any core supporter group of any team, without the extra 20000 bandwagon

    I made the noise of a thousand that game, my throat is still F#$&ed. would do it again and again if it would lift the boys like yesterday. Never seen anything like it.

    Good on the dees, and well done all the supporters for making the MCG rattle!!

    Never ever have I yelled so much at a game. If I had a dollar for every time I said "KICK THE BALL. IT'S NOT THAT HARD",... :rolleyes:

    What.. a frusturated supporter? I sure am! Or was.. :)

    lol. :lol: yeah I don't think I've yelled so much since I was at skilled stadium amongst all those ferals (in 2005 when the dees beat them by a point!!!) but I reckon all my "frustration yelling" in the 1st half was easily outdone in the 2nd half by my "celebration yelling" + my yelling out to my brother to get his attention amongst the thousands on the ground after the game! Thank God for that.. is there anything better than having a kick on the ground after your team's won.

    The Result meant Heaps-don't underestimate that. The players now know how to "hunt and win" It's what Hawthorn made an Artform out of in the eighties and Nineties.

    50 points is a HUGE turnaround!!!!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
