Good Song to get involved in while at the game tho Gippy,

I wish our supporters were as passionate as the victory fans,

Keep in mind that they are compensating for the fact that they are otherwise bored shirtless for 90 minutes (less any goals or faked injuries). I went to a Victory game once and spent more time watching the clowns behind the goal.

And there is no trademark issue, we have a 140 plus year start on them and that is why they are called Melbourne Victory FC and we are Melbourne FC.

You are aware that Highbury and Emirates Stadium are completely different places?

I've been watching football here and in England for 20 years - what works for them is artificial, forced and an embarassment for us. You'll notice that everyone STFU very quickly when there's a goalscoring opportunity - the fact that there's an opportunity every couple of minutes in our sports ruins any flow that you'd get. I've heard people try it and it's absolutely painful.

Atmosphere is overrated anyway. You're there to watch your team try and win a game - anything else is a bonus.

Correct, there is too much scoring in our game for long constructed Chants. Sometimes in soccer it is a scoreless game for 90+ minutes!!

And the insinuation on this thread, that i, because i do not sing am not a passionate supporter is a little offensive to me & many others.

I have lost my voice many times for the betterment of the Melbourne Football Club, & i shall continue to do so.

P.S Go the Gunners BTW. EPL is great soccer to watch. The A League is getting there.

Good man, I'm a gooner myself.

And I also take exception to the insinuation that I am not passionate because I don't sing or chant (a direct result of all the flat spots in football games).

Footy does not lend itself to this type of crowd behaviour as it is too fast-paced and high scoring, and I often can't speak for the rest of the day after a game.

Carn you might Demons!

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
