You know I think Ive just figured it out. Weve all been really really bad in a previous life and all been sent to Hell. Hell, where Demons live and thrive...all too bloody obvious now !!

Well seems like a living hell baracking for this lot.

We know they often eat their own, but true supporters are embodied in the story of now deceased Tigers fan David MANDIE. Would have seen a lot of pain in those times, but also some premierships. Take the ups with the downs. By all accounts had a great relationship with the players,so expect them to come out fired up on Sunday. Test of character for our boys to weather the storm and step up in the 2nd quarter unlike the last month!

Yes i heard KB mention him this morning....that guy sounds just like my Grandad, who was born across the road from the punt Road oval in 1906.

Anyone hear some of the scarf-burning and membership ending talk after Geelong.These old blokes would never even consider EVER leaving their team. Shame on those of little faith .

First thing the new coach should do is sit em on the floor like in the photo and lay out the golden rules .

Kick Long

Hand pass long

Tackle ,Shepherd ,harass.

Never give in .

I cannot believe the amount of losers that have posted on this topic. You are no different than what you think the club is.

I believe in this fantastic club, I believe in the administration, the players and the end goal.

The club doesn’t need this continued negativity; it needs us the supporters to stand up, when we are down (like champions do) and tell the club we believe in what they are doing.

Oldest club in the league; 12 premierships; Brownlow medallists; AFL legends.

I LOVE the Melbourne Football Club and always will. If you don’t like them anymore, ‘F’ off. If you can’t watch them anymore ‘F’ off.

You lose, don’t come running back or telling everyone we are back when you turn your back on the club when it needs you most.

The supporters are half the problem, if it is not;

1. At the MCG;

2. A nice day;

3. A Saturday;

4. 2:10 start; and

5. A chance of Melbourne winning.

Melbourne supporters don’t turn up.

All I ask is support the club in a positive manner and believe in what they are doing.

Awesome stuff it is.

They weren't far off the pace today.

This is what gets me. Some have even referred to the Subi game, in direct comparison to the ES game, as a debacle.

At Subi we:

Won 1 quarter.

Lost by exactly 9 goals.

Had 22 scoring shots at goal.

Had 1450 games experience WCE had 1920.

Travelled and played in front of a hostile 38,000 strong crowd.

Had Bail, Jurrah, Gysberts, Grimes, Green, Bennell, Wonaeamirri (103 games + Brad Green (300))

At ES we:

Won 1 quarter.

Lost by exactly 8 goals.

Had 17 scoring shots at goal.

Had 1477 games experience WCE had 1900.

Didn't travel and played in front of a partisan, if subdued, 15,000 strong crowd.

Had Macdonald, Nicholson, Scully, Petterd, McKenzie, Howe, Blease (146 games + Joel Macdonald (106))

No doubt the ES game was better than the two preceeding.

The second quarter though was horrible. In fact it was worse than any Subi quarter.

If we weren't far off the pace, was it a similar result at Subi in April?
