The Crowd Today!

Melbourne supporters cop an unfair beating at times.

I thought the crowd today was excellent! The way in which it felt like we had won the match at the end. I recon about 80-90% of the dees fans waited around to send off the boys, and the fact that the crowd started to sign the song and prompted the speakers to start was fantastic.

I also thought it was a pro-Melbourne crowd which is a good stat to have against the expecting premier team.

    I heard the crowd singing the song in unison prior to the first time the PA system played it. It seemed to start from the cheer squad end of the ground of the ground as far as I could tell.

    Great atmosphere at the end of the game. Winners all round.

    I also thought it was good that the Saints players stayed on the ground for the guard of honour for our 3 retiring champs.

    Certainly got legs in the MCC members. We may cop a lot of sh*t in the media, but we do sendoffs and player tributes so well (Troy Broadbridge, David Neitz etc.)

    I wasn't disputing the fact that the song was played...

    I was a little embarrassed that St.Kilda won the game and yet our song played three times.

    I thought they were great in clapping off the Melbourne retirees.

    I thought it showed a tiny bit of MFC arrogance that I haven't seen in my life time. It was good. About time we start to get arrogant! ;)

    I don't know about you, but I was celebrating our great victory in gaining picks 1 and 2.

    Whether the crowd singing prompted the G to start the song, or whether it was always planned, i can guarantee that we got through one 'Grand Old Flag' before the speakers started playing the tune as well and we all sang along.

    I really did have a ball at the game, while 'Milne is a w@nker' was brilliant fun (he just stood there between the goal posts, not moving, looking straight ahead and not looking back), the "ROBBO" chant followed by the "WHEATLEY" chant were memorable, but hearing the stadium erupt in the grand old flag from complete silence, after an 8 goal loss to cheer off our boys was, as Bruce would put it, ssspppeeecciiaalllll

    Fantastic effort by the Saints as well... it did take them 15 minutes to even go and celebrate with their cheer squad, and to hang around for the sendoff was great sportsmanship as well.

    I expect to see you all at the games just as vocal and passionate next year!

    I trust we would have done the same if they were in the same boat.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
