45,444. Melbourne fans take a bow, because we were vocal and feral tonight, great to see. Now next week we must not drop of our enthusiasm as we are playing a lesser side in West Coast at the G. FIRE UP! MCC were fantastic tonight as were the rest of the ground. We forget about tonight and move on quickly and turn our focus to West Coast. Melbourne fans, week in, week out, Loud and feral behavior. LOVE IT! GO DEEESSS!

Yeah good post.

I had a little inside chuckle as I walked up the stairs after the final siren in the tier 2 Melb reserve. I witnessed a melb member beating the living [censored] out of his plastic mcg chair.

Do the umpires have a theme song?

Been saying it for years but I'll keep doing it until it becomes myth - the dees fans are as loud, passionate and ferral as any supporter base and we love our club.

I was at the rugby over at AAMI Park until I RAN into the 'G at the 10 minute mark of the last quarter (got laughed at by the bloke on the gate when my m-ship card actually scanned in because they were turing blokes away from the gate without entry - literally a 'where have you been sort of thing' {bugger off mate! love my Dees}). So not sure my attendance would've been offically recorded as it was the first thing i saw on the screen as i walked into the ground. Re-count? HAHA. But seriously, v-good crowd considering the crappy weather!

One has to wonder with good weather there very well may have been about 60,000 turn up?

Lets hope we can get at least 30,000 there next week.

One thing that struck me was the anger shown as I left the ground, the universal source of the anger was the umpiring and it was real anger. Usually when we lose you hear very little from the supporters but there was real passion there last night.

How could they think wearing almost red shirts was a good idea?

My problem is that whilst I like the extra crowd numbers it's taking me ages to get out of the ground :)

So if your coming , "Get the bloody train!" :)

There were lots of Rugby supporters parked at the G last night, as I was walking over the bridge there was a constant stream of them walking the other way, good idea to have both games finish at the same time.

x2, I did the same thing I sat behind the Melbourne goals for the last 10 minutes and cheered my ass off, gotta say there was one feral bulldog supporter with a cubra hat and bulldogs gear behind me gobbing off that after 10 minutes I wanted to knock his head off. Great crowd and the noise / atmosphere was great go dees, I will be there next week! Be great too build up somemore wins and confidence leading into the queens birthday and who knows might get 80k plus how good would that look for the dees

RF - That was me mate, I also kicked off at the people that wouldnt move down the back of the tram when there's 300 tryin to get on and they're having a leisurely chat about how pretty the bubbledome lights are.....

Not a good idea when I'm still seething about red shirts. Julia Gillards mates knew they stole the game so they werent crowing.

I'm just gonna put it behind me and wait for happier days otherwise it'll do my nut in.

That actually came across very clearly on the TV as well.....

And I must admit I loved seeing that kind of passion, no poor behaviour, just genuine anger at being screwed over.

That crowd number is excellent, and those that went get a huge round of applause :) !!!

Actually I was a little disappointed with the crowd. Don't forget 14,000 were from the Field of Women event. I was hoping for 50,000+, but I guess the rain stopped some from coming.

No doubt it was totally dominated by Melbourne supporters though. Of the 45,444, would have been 35,000 or so Melbourne. Bulldogs supporters just don't show up to MCG games.

Been saying it for years but I'll keep doing it until it becomes myth - the dees fans are as loud, passionate and ferral as any supporter base and we love our club.

Me too (but I haven't been saying it).

Puts paid to that ridiculous notion that abounded during 2007-2009 that we were a passionless, heartless club that stood for nothing.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
