Hi - anyone interested in being part of an MFC flash mob?

What is this?

Idea is a text message/email goes out a few days beforehand nominating date, time and meeting place (e.g.. under the clock at Flinders Street).

Everyone meets wearing coats etc - then we all take our coats off to show our MFC guernsey's underneath and sing the MFC club song

Is this weird? - yes

Random? - definitely

Would it be noticed? absolutelyf

We need to keep up the momentum - may seem weird, stupid - perhaps it is - but who is in....?????

    I like the idea, but might be negatively received. I've always liked the idea of starting another supporter group that sings and chants. Cheer squads are so boring and dull (sorry if that offends anyone involved in them). The chants are so old and boring. They do nothing to excite the crowd around the ground. Anyone who has been to a Premier League match would be able to admit how much influence the supporter "firms" have on the crowd. Granted, they cause a lot of trouble, but you have a group of 30 or so men singing and chanting and cheering, and suddenly an entire stand/stadium is joining in.

    I'd be VERY interested if it was a dedicated, aggressive (supporting wise) and LOUD supporting group.

    OK, cool - yeah - it's something different - if heaps come along it would be awesome....there's a lot of momentum and goodwill behind the club at the moment - let's capitalise on it....agree with you, people are more likely to cheer in bigger groups

    Great, it doesn't have to be at the G though - it could be in the Bourke Street Mall on a Thursday night....5.30 before going home - or outside Young and Jackson @1.30 or something on a game day...i.e. so random it would be noticed - makes people realise that Dees supporters are 'mobilising'.

    Open for suggestions though, what do you think would work best??

    I'm a avid follower of English football and realise the songs and passion at games is great, but our game is too fast, to much going on with desicions etc for these sort of sing alongs, that and they really seem to me to be trying to bring another codes cultural to our unique game.

    Not a fan of the Essendon or Richmond idiots that think they are a "Firm" and singing at games.

    Also their songs are [censored].

    Why not It would be great seeing a group of 30 mad dees fans singing and chanting. They could try and make up new chants. It would be great. And after every Melbourne win they stay and chant and sing after the game for about 15 minutes or more.

    I've seen something like this in London - from my understanding you don't do it at the game but at a random time (eg: the day before in the city or something) where everyone suddenly stops and shows they're wearing a Melbourne gurnsey or Melbourne scarf, followed by clubsong or something. Honestly, all out there ideas start off looking random/'embarassing' but they're also the type of ideas the grab people's attention. You only live once. COUNT ME IN TO GIVE THIS A SHOT.

    Indeed, I'm not sure how the idea of getting some people at the footy to sing chants got mixed up with a flash mob :P

    Great idea. Count me in. We need to do more things like this.

    Hmm 1 post. Would you be the same poster as the guy who opened this weird, messed up thread. And then you realised you needed some moral support, so you got yourself to provide that to you?

    Hrm :S

    Two posters join simply to agree with this topic?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
