SEN have had callers this afternoon saying that Melbourne Members were throwing their 2010 membership scarfs in the bins at the MCG in disgust at the teams performance on Saturday. Is this True?

No matter how bad, mad or disgusted I am at the sides performance I couldn't degrade the team I truely adore (through the good and bad) in this manner. How do others feels?

Did anyone on Demonland throw their scarf away in protest?

.......Did anyone on Demonland throw their scarf away in protest?

I might have considered it, had I been able to collect mine on the first game of the season, at our "home" ground, for our home game, and at a location where we have our merchandising, but they ran out of scarves. NO, I WOULD NOT HAVE.

Didn't Robbo mention this in his article ?

It doesn't achieve anything IMO. If anyone did, they obviously are pretty annoyed and hurt. But to actually throw them in a bin... ?

I couldn't do that. You need them for winter for a start.

one guy probably did it

When we win a game in the next few weeks and things don't look quite as bleak as they do right now those same people will likely be lining up at the membership tents demanding replacement scarves.

Fools.

I think its good to show some passion, too many people sit back and say " oh well, we are a young side" or other rubbish. For once i would like to see people fire up, half the people who write on this site are sheep and follow what others say.

Maybe its the supporters who need to show the team how to act.. so GET SOME BALLS PEOPLE AND STOP SITTING ON THE FENCE

He is a sloppy unit and an even sloppier journo. I have my doubts.

Sounds like something a Melbourne supporter would do.

Hello, just a note I was volunteering at Gate 5 handing out the membership scarves, we were flat out from 11.40 until 1.40 when we ran out, a solid two hours for people to get their scarves, we will be back there this Saturday for the same period.......I would never throw my scarf away..you will also find this is lazy journalism, it is on one of the boards that people were throwing them away........maybe it wasn't a supporter who started this rumour....but let it perpetuate......

I heard it in the 'build up' to the Port North game

I didn't do it, but I have no problem with it. You pay your money and can do what you like with your own merchandise.

I'm more annoyed by the supporters I saw clapping the players off.

doubt it ...probably just some sensationalism to sell papers

Cant blame them.

Not good enough. Although, I don't blame 'volunteers' for this oversight.

Yeah, nearly all liberal supporters.

I didn't see this myself, but i was told this happened. I find it very very disturbing.

If anybody threw a scarf away after last saturdays game. I hope in the next 2-3 weeks they will buy a new scarf from the club

Like people burning their beatles records in America in 1966 after Lennon said they were bigger than God.

All those people re bought the same albums a few weeks later, and the band cleaned up!!!

Was this just a media beat up by Robinson...?? i wonder. He is such a dull slob really.

It seem to be a norm when your teams having a bad trot, though ive never seen anyone do it and dont think anyone on this forum would admit if they did it

I imagine many (most?) people turn up less than 30 minutes before a game.

On the odd occassion I've been that early, it's been very empty relative to 2:10.

Now that's controversial.

Anyone who felt the need to throw away their scarf after one game in season 2010, needs to reassess their mental strength and their life.

Seriously, I can't think of a more pathetic and weak thing you can do as a supporter.

Clapping the players off the ground after a game like that is way more pathetic.

That's not pathetic, that's deluded.

Both are stupid extremes that point to people who don't really have a grasp on reality, but at least people who clap the team off the ground will be there next week and the week after that, continue to financially support the club and are not cowardly enough to run away crying when the going gets tough.

FFS, what the hell did people expect? That season 2010 will see a magical "win" switch turned on?

Definitely, if one loss is enough to make you do something like that, why bother going to the games?

They could lose every game this season and my scarf would still be safe.

I mean it's usually pretty safe...it doesn't get waved too often.

What scarf?

The last time I got one, it was a thinly woollen teatowel and decided not to go back next time.
