I was there with three of my kids, nearly got thrown out mind you for accidentally nearly hitting the boundary umpire throwing the ball back over the fence which was a bit embarassing. :blink:

OUR GOAL KICKING

We should have won by more last week and if we had kicked straight (ie Newton) we may have won today, it seems our kicking around the ground is good until it goes inside fifty, thank god Robbo will be back next week, least when he gets a shot on goal he generally slots it through.

Well I chose crowd, because while some individual members of the team were abysmal and don't deserve to be there next week, as a whole we could still have won the game halfway through the last quarter. Just too many fumbles and poor disposals (both in the decision-making and execution). Things the team will work on.

But who will fix the crowd problem at such MFC games???

Speaking of which, was there a president's lunch or something? There was no MCC committee members' function and the biggish space usually set aside for MCC committee and guests was available to us plebs. If the relevant committees don't even bother to make a function of the day, it's not a good start.

Crowd for me, but i would've chose the umps if they were an option. Seriously the only positive from them was that i got so fired up that it kept me warm in the freezing cold!

That said, we didn't even go goal-less against Geelong in that hammering, we were just pathetic going forward in the first 3 quarters.

They should really close off the top tier on games like these ala Freo comeback game last year.

Question...

is 20,000 the no. for us to break even? or does it differ from team to team that we play against? Cos the freo game was 20k last yr...

Were you talking about an incident in M2/3 (Cheersquad area) ?

We had the Heil Hitler of security on the boundary there today. The next time his head popped up I was going to ask for his number and I'd be taking it further.

If you're the person I'm thinking of all I can say is Thank heavens the security chaps on the other side of the fence saw the idiocy of what he was up to and placated him by saying a warning was in order before an eviction.

Good thing i was in M1 then.. I probably would have had better aim! :angry:

I'll choose crowd, the guys there were nice and vocal, however there just weren't enough of us. Didn't even rain after the horror forecast either.

I can't live with a team kicking one goal until three quarter time. Football is about entertainment, that was in no way entertaining.

But even if it had been entertaining there was still no one there to see it.......

(apologies to those brave souls who were there)

While I understand everything's relative, an attendance of 14,000+ people is hardly 'no one'.

Thats the one, thanks for your support. Eventually reason prevailed. Thats exactly what happened the other security guys ended up telling me that security guy was a boofhead and to sit down and enjoy the game. Absolutefarce it was!

I wonder if this was the same moron from the Collingwood game? The one who laughed when three big brave Collingwood supporters had a go at one disabled Melbourne supporter? I think he needs a refresher class in crowd control.

If it is the same guy, then he probably went over the top because he is a Pie supporter and was probably relishing the chance to stick the boots in to Melbourne.

Security at the G makes me sick - the police are forever patrolling the cheersquad area and yet they don't seem to pay as much attention to other areas - it is as if they are saying we as a group are a bunch of lawbreakers who need to be kept under the thumb. Just about every goal, there they are, walking up and down, eyeballing us. Since the cheersquad is a dry area, and we know we are so readily identifiable, as a group we are a better behaved bunch than many other groups, but we are still treated in this way. Fair's fair, how about walking through the groups of loud mouthed drinkers up the back - they are the ones who are going to give you trouble, not the true footy fans sitting behind the goals minding their own business.

This says a lot about Melbourne supporters.

The team puts up one of the most pathetic displays of football in recent years, managing just four goals for an entire game and still use defensive tactics and yet the supporters are more worried about the crowd numbers on a freezing cold Sunday afternoon/evening.

FFS.

yep..tend to agree CB

Folks ought to be more concerned with how a team is developing , playing, building etc than whether or not some loke or other wants/can attend a game.

Im more concerned as to why a team of supposedly professional and skilled athletes cant find the goals for asking !!

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
