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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
