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.

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!!

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!!!!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
