Why am I a supporter of the MFC? your right to a opinion

Featured Replies

Since the age of 5, I have barracked for the Melbourne Football Club

Most people barrack for a team because one or other of their parents barrack for that team

This ,is not so in my case

My Father is a Geelong Supporter, My mother was Essendon, my little mate next door though barracked for Melbourne yet

he himself was related to a very well known Carlton Footballer,funny about that.

Anyway I digress

At the age of 5 it was great to be able to annoy both my mum and dad with regards to football because at that time Melbourne was one of the dominant teams in the VFL and I used to laugh at their teams when the oppurtunity presented itself.

But to be honest I didnt Follow Melbourne all that closely then, but it stuck and I have followed Melbourne through thick and thin ever since

I have shed quite a few tears over the years some in Joy but most in despair. I have seen Melbourne only ever win one Grand Final and I was there on that night even though it was only a Preseason comp. The feeling of elation that night was something I will never forget

I have seen Melbourne play in other Finals and a Grand Final but only to see them fall short each time.

My passion for the team though continues and I like every other Supporter want to see the MFC succeed

Though I may have differing opinions, even with my own children who are all Melbourne Supporters, like them I want what is only best for the club

My problem is I do not have the willingness that I did years ago to be patient and wait for that success to come.

I have seen Coaches come and go from the Melbourne FC and I have had varying opinions on all of them and still do.

Especially regarding our current coach, just ask my kids :rolleyes:

However I believe everyone here is just that RED & BLUE right through and us such are entitled to their opinion even if it differs from mine :lol:

Though we all have differing opinion we all want to share how we feel on this forum about our team .

In saying that we all have a right to do so or this forum may as well not exist.

Whether you agree with someone elses opinion or not, you have a right to your opinion. But you also need to respect theirs. Thats why I come here to post ,

Most of the time I enjoy reading how everyone else feels whether they agree or disagree, the point is we are all DEMON Supporters

I think some need to keep that in mind when posting.

In passing wouldnt it also be nice if there was a Official representitive of the MFC here on this forum that we could ask questions of after each game and receive some answers on that weeks results be they good or bad .

Instead of having to hear it all the time from Newspapers or those here who claim to be in the Know.

After all my best mate Robbie doesnt even know half the time what is going on.B)

Well said.

Except for the representative idea.

If they were on here every week, they would suddenly become part of the furniture and be treated as such.

Cam Schwab comes on from time to time about specific issues. We all enjoy that.

But we have no right to know the inner weekly workings of the club - negotiations and the like.

Why not? Because this is a public forum and a properly run business requires some privacy.

i'm not sure it was meant as a "inner workings" of the club but rather a basic Q & A after games. i think within reason it is a great idea. possibly we could get the whole forum to draw straws each week to ask 5 or so questions, if they are too close to the bone or give away team plans they don't get answered.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
