Let the hair stand up on the back of their necks.

I don't know if anyone will read this before the game but I suggest the following.

After the coin is tossed, when one of the captains points what direction their team is kicking, we should all stand and sing "It's a Grand Old Flag".

After the last week we've had, hopefully this will show solidarity and support for our players. Let the hair stand up on the back of their necks.

Tell/message your mates to do the same. Someone tell the Cheer Squad too. Hopefully others will join in.

Not a bad idea, but far simpler if you want to do something is to stand and sing the club song when they play the music as the players come onto the ground. I am sure if every Dee fan stood and sung the players would see and hear it. Would that make a difference, who knows?

Supporters are passionate for the club. FOr the players the club simply pays their wages. At least that's the way they play.

 

get it started and i may just join in B) :P

its one of those games where i want to win but will it mean much if we cant back it up?

ill still take the win though

That would be absolutely epic. Need the cheer squad to start it though.

What a dh am I? I really thought our supporters would turn out in droves. No wonder we're a basket case. 2 players carried off in stretchers but the Dee supporters were scared of getting wet or felt it wasn't worth going. When we come out of this, you a. holes will turn up acting like it was something you did. The teams we hate have supporters with some passion. I feel sick.

I don't think it's the people who post on here who are the fair weather tossers. Write a letter to the papers.

I was there and very few sang at the game either... I reckon all of us are just a bit [censored] off and were waiting to see if the players would put in... Or maybe I'm completely wrong.

I was there CF on level 2 of the members and i stayed till the end.

The MCC was fairly full...The Southern Stand was the worry.

The MCC cop a few wacks, but the turn out wasn't too bad.

if only a few of those first Quarter points had been goals....I think the crowd wanted to be loud, but it's hard when good play is not rewarded with goals.


You might think it's bad that our supporters didn't turn out - but remember it was Carlton's HOME GAME and they should have had a better turn out, particularly after last week's performance, surely they were confident of a win? Yet the crowd wasn't all that big - what does that say about Carlton supporters?

Supporters are passionate for the club. FOr the players the club simply pays their wages. At least that's the way they play.

hahahaha .. if they were passionate they would turn up to support the players, there not passionate they are down hill skiers.

Thats why the players simply play for wages ... why bother doing anything else ... nobody there to watch them.

cheer squad to start it though.

they bust their gut every week with little help from around the ground ..

It's nice to think the cheersquad can help out here but some of us are at the ground at 9am doing what's necessary for the day. Behind the scenes we put in very long hours of volunteer work, usually without a computer in our laps. If you want some Cheersquad assistance we need notice.

I can tell you about a game at Etihad Stadium next week. It's our home game. Don't sook about not liking Etihad. Just get there, be vocal, support our team....OUR TEAM....'cos if we don't noone else will

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
