    I'm sorry but that "Demon Army" chant is horrible

    I don't mind that one. At least it's loud and boisterous. If you want horrible, try chanting "Let's go Melbourne, let's go" (clap clap). Makes me feel like I'm watching under 10s!

    Regarding the Indian community I wrote to the MFC a few years ago to suggest marketing membership to this sizeable and growing group in melbourne. I got no response at all, but that was a few years ago, a different team on board then. At the same time, support has to be genuine and fairdinkum. One has to remember that for most of us, supporting Melbourne is in our DNA. It has been passed from father or mother to son or daughter and so it goes on. I support the Demons and my two boys support the Demons because my father started taking me to games from the age of 4. For most of us it is part of our identity, it is our tribe, and we live and breath it. You cant just manufacture it. It does not suddenly happen. You can't market that easily to folks without that love of sport, without that love of Aussie Rules and without that family history of involvement and loyalty irrespective of our success or lack of it. It does not have any reason other than our love for our team. It is commitment that has no financial rewards or incentives. Nationalities from SE Asia and the sub-continent are not sport or footy mad like many of us. Just go to any school and see who are the kids playing sport and in particular footy. However, I don't discourage any marketing ideas that can bring us new members. Perhaps you can sell some form of membership or business network opportunities. Ultimately, Indians like the Chinese seek networking opportunities for jobs and business opportunities.

    Also quite funny reading some of the comments.

    the "MEEEELLLLBBBOOUURRRNNNEEEEEE" going round the G' in the last quarter was amazing. Could hear it clearly on TV too.

    Yeah was epic. The chant itself, I hate when Collingwood does it but it's an awesome war cry of sorts to claim victory. Sounded great on Saturday.

    yep the demon army was amazing. never seen the supporters celebrate each goal so demonstratively and the final 15 minutes was spine tingling. Had this guy run down to the fence in the last Q after each goal and get the chant going returning to his seat with high fives and then repeat again after each goal. Total joy and totally spontaneous and the demon fans just loved it. Sense of great unity.

    As regards your claim: "Nationalities from ......the sub-continent are not sport .....mad like many of us", were you visiting the moon whilst the World Cup Cricket was on?

    Point taken CBD. you are quite right of course. I should have qualified my remarks at least for the Indian community and said except for cricket and hockey. Indians are passionate about those 2 sports.

    Think you will find another AFL side has already jumped on your Indian community idea. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    Love the enthusiasm BJ. You are the sort of supporter our club needs more of! It's always great to see that the MFC means so much to others just as it does to myself! I agree that there are many untapped areas of our community that we should look at promoting the MFC to in order to boost membership. May be a challenge though. Indians and Chinese are very traditional and conservative type people unlikely to step out of their comfort zones and they may feel that Aussie rules is a bit rowdy for them.... who knows

    What a load of crap.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
