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.

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 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.

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.

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?

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.

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

    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
