Unfortunately I don't think it will turn out that way WYL. I'd think it would keep people away. Doesn't mean I want it that way, just what I reckon will happen. One bloke last night said he wanted 40,000 to turn up next week, but not actually go in. Would definitely send the strongest message ever sent by supporters of any club I'd think.

If the supporters do not get active now Kent, this club is finished. WE ALL MUST GO TO THE ADELAIDE GAME.

I would be one of the first to turn up and scream at the club, but unfortunately I'm working all day Saturday

And we will know the score - we're always 5 goals down by then ! :rolleyes:

I also wrote an email and sent it off to MFC this morning. I have never sent a negative email to the club before and was hesitant to do it, but the MFC need to hear our anger, disappointment and utter frustration at the level of effort. Recruiting, management, staff, resources blah blah blah.... yes lots could be written. But the club must know that spineless, heartless pathetic efforts like last night bring shame to the jumper. That was the main point of my email.

All of us despairing Dees followers have seen insipid performances and losses that should be wins - we have probably seen 50 to 80 of them over the past 40 years - but last night was shameful and humilaiting. Players, admin staff and coaches come and go but we can never tolerate the red and blue colours being a point of shame and derision.

Do NOT hesitate in emailing or phoning the club. If they hear this from even 10% of us, that is 3,400 poeople nad must be taken notice of.

Also, I think we need to attend en masse the AGM this year. And demand an open question time of at least 1 hour duration.

For those who think the club is not listening, I just received this :

Thank you for your email regarding last night’s game. The game was extremely disappointing for everyone involved with the Club.

Please be assured that no one at the club is satisfied with the result or the standard of the game last night. It is now up to us to respond and the players and coaches are already focussed on our round 7 match against Adelaide at the MCG.

Your email has been forwarded to the Football department.

Thank you for taking the time to write and for your support of the Club.

Well I haven't had a response. Bit annoyed about that actually. I didn't expect anything personal, but something would have been nice. That said, hopefully it is because they've had that bloody many emails today, they can't cope :)

I agree WYL. And I know you are right, I just also want some sort of protest. What I would give to be in Melbourne at the moment. To be able to go to a game.

I hope you are still planning to attend BD.

The Club needs to hear the supporters...very loudly. If we all stay away from games, the club is let off.

I expect 35,000 pi$$ed off members to be at next weeks game....I want value for my hard earned coin thankyou MFC.

I would be surprised if we get 20 000

Depends how the Club responds this week i reckon OD. I have NEVER heard so much passion coming out of Melbourne Supporters, as i have over this day.

This one is different. This one isn't just "oh it's another loss, better luck next week Dee's....This one is a "F@#$k this i am NOT going to take it any more"

Big Difference.

Call of the day.

This has to be a turning point. What undigestable horse S##t!

We played like the poor little kittens that lost their mittens. Weak as p**s!

No skills under pressure

No skills without pressure

second to the contest

No ability to kick in (every point in the first half was a 7 point play)

No ability to lock it in with their point kick ins

No midfield.

Panic!

Out of bounds on the full ! AAARRGHGH!

Points not goals.

Started at the 28 minute mark of the first quarter

Crap in any contest

No support

Opposition waltz through and mark everything

Soft. Soft. Soft.

Unacceptable.

This HAS to be a turning point. Show ponies have to become work horses and get a bit of aggro. Thats my rant. If this aint the turning point, I'll follow the local under 6's. At least they have a crack.

You saw a contest? I'm going back to the replay...

I've read all of the above posts and there's not been mention of what I considered the worst moment...

WCE kick in to an unmanned player on D50. Jurrah runs to the mark.

WCE kick to free man on the wing... ... ... MFC player gets to the mark.

(I turn to my girlfriend as we watch on TV and ask "Where is everybody?" "They must be flooding back," comes the reply.

WCE kick into the presumably flooded congested mess that is their F50... WAIT! No. No, my mistake. Mark LeCras; 20 metres clear of an opponent (who is that #27?)

WCE score.

I was stunned. I was completely shocked that it seemed we had no one on the field. It's possible WC are better than us and if that's the case I accept a loss on their turf, but to not play on a man? Surely even if the coach doesn't suggest it a player with any pride would say to himself "wow, our team doesn't have the ball... maybe I should find an opponent to reduce the chance of them moving the ball..."

I'm not the most qualified person to judge. But my u9's coach said that if we went hard we'd win the footy. In u9's we kicked more goals when we had the footy than when we didn't.

I can assure you this was personally written and not some soppy template. I wrote to all the email addresses in the "contact us" section, of the MFC website. This one was to the Membership department and had some other points - which I didn't copy - which were also responded too. They are listening. They won't reply to everyone.

I got no replies to my other mails, but that's not the point.

The most important point is that the club knows, the supporters are not going to accept this sort of play anymore and we all want something done about it - quickly!

I'm looking towards the NM game at Etihad in 2 weeks time. If we can beat them there, it will go a long way to renewing my faith in the players going forward.

Whilst i was very disappointed after the Lions game, i still sang the song. This was purely because i thought that i might not get to sing it as much as i thought i would at the start of the year. Little did i know how right i would be.

As for the no singing at the Bulldogs game. Are you serious. As poorly as we had played that night, the comeback was still something to behold. I remember thinking if Giansiricusa kicked the next goal, i would leave. Low and behold, he hit the post, and so started the fightback. What about when Danners came running down the stairs to share the moment with the boys. That's when we truly cared about winning football games. The same can't be said for tonight.

The Dogs game in 2005 was a magnificent comeback and great in isolation. The reason I couldn't sing the song that night was due to the realisation a few weeks earlier that we had thrown another season away and were not going to threaten for the premiership. I had seen us throw 2004 away after being on top after round 18, had seen us capitulate in 2003, had seen us fight above our weight for a top 6 finish in 2002 and seen us fall in a heap in 2001 after being handed a football lesson by Sheedy in 2000. I just wasn't up for celebrating mediocrity that night; but that isn't to say that I would begrudge those who did sing the song after the game and cheered every goal home. I was cheering when White kicked the winner as well but nowhere near as much as I did when we hit the lead against Carlton in 2000.

Good to see people letting the club know how they feel. Also good to see the club responding when they can.

The response I want to see is not just to come out firing next week against the Crows. The easiest thing in the world is to come out pumped up after such an insipid performance when they will have the blowtorch put to them by the media, fans and coaches. The real test will come in the weeks following. If they come out and play well against Adelaide (win, lose or draw) and then fall over the next week against the Kangas I will be absolutely fuming but really this is what I expect to happen. The test is consistently solid performances. I know we are young and will be somewhat inconsistent and I know we cannot win every game we play. But we can have a dip with every game and every contest for the rest of the year.

This will be the real test of the character of the players, coaches and club to see how they respond not next week but in susbequent weeks when their performances are not in the spotlight as much as they will (or should) be this week.

It's fair to say the membership department had absolutely nothing to do in relation to memberships last Friday, hence the reply from them..

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
