I went along. Sat in the "posh" seats on the second level (nowhere near as good as the mezzanine section of the MCC) and quite enjoyed the game. There were a good few MFC supporters sitting near in my vicinity so we cheered with much gusto (especially those frees we received in our backline).

I was there with my two cousins from overseas. Ideally would have liked a better performance and first impression by our guys, but my cousins did enjoy the game and atmosphere. I actually thought the crowd was decent considering it was 1st vs 16th, and both clubs are at the lower end of the membership market.

Got there at half-time because of work.

God I hate Telstra Dome (and backwards Doggie supporters)

I was there. Very poor turnout from Demons fans but the Bulldogs aren't exactly suffering from population explosion either.

Enjoyed the game, we are having a crack pretty much very week now - that's good enough for me to turn up.

Prefer the G bit it's still a game of footy isn't it?

The 'G might be a huge stadium that hosts many events, but when you attend games it's still like you're at the footy.

Recently someone described TD as a big television studio, which I felt was apt.

The ankles Country Member obviously could not leave his Club X cleaners job to get to the game.

He needed to keep his hand in there!!!

You need to learn to 'get your hand off it'...

I was there, about eight rows back in the cheer squad, 3.5 meters between each goalpost, as I am at every game. I reckon I was the loudest there, and it's a shame. I'm sitting in the cheer squad, so I would hope all the guys and girls around me would be at least as loud as me. I mean, at one stage I heard a group of Doggies supporters admonishing us as "the Silent Cheer Squad." But that's okay, each to his own.

I was there, surrounded by Dogs fans.

Telstra Dome is a horrid place, colder than a morgue and with about as much atmosphere too.

It is a bit like Mars.

I was there along with Prodigal Son + 3 others...Level 2 Aisle 43.

As for BT's comments...well what does he expect, its an away game so most of us are shelling out a not inconsiderable amount of money [over and above our standard membership], on a Sunday, against a side thats expected to [censored] us senseless. Thats not a brilliantly compelling entertainment offering.

Well done to other Demon fans who were masochistic enough to attend.

I actually thought there was a decent number of Dees supporters at the game yesterday.

It sh*ts me though when you have moron Doggies fans call up the radio and blame the bad crowd on our fans. You are 2nd on the ladder, and it's your home game, you should be able to get 30,00 of your own supporters there yourselves.

I was there. Level 1.

I thought there was more Dees fans there, than at the Richmond game at the Dome. That was embarrassing.

Nothing worse than a Moron Doggy Fan.

I was also on level 1. Talking of the Richmond game, I thought there were far less people there that day.

The area around me was quite full versus WB, and level 3 on the opposite side of the ground looked like it had a decent number of people.

However, I think the reported crowd figures were similar.

I was there and it was a pretty poor turnout.

I think though, i was on level 3 in the middle of bulldogs supporters with one melbourne 'supporter' behind us.

We had to move at quarter time. For the whole first quarter i couldn't watch the game as all i could hear behind me was this moron yelling 'Dog [censored]' 'Send them to the RSPCA, the RSPCA they're dogs'. 'Dog [censored]' 'Dog [censored]' "They're dogs, put them down' Over and over and over and over and over waiting for a reaction but never got one.

The sterotype of the bulldogs being moronic ferals may shift to us if more people like him keep wearing our colors.

It might have been the fact that we only kicked 1 goal, but that first quarter sitting in front of that fool was the worst 30 minutes of my life.

And sure enough, he couldnt help himself.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
