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... ? :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?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
