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 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.

The way Hawthorn are going???

There will be at least 55-60 thousand people.

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

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

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!!!!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
