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 started us singing the song near the race...

    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 didn't think you were either. :)

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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
