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?

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... ? :wacko:

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

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

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......

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

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.

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.

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

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?

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
