All supporters should not turn up to next weeks game against Carlton.

Send a message to the club and players.

Why should we turn up each week,when the players don't turn up each week to play.

Myself I,d rather stay at home and stick pins in my eyes,than watch a team that won't even have a crack.

how about we do the opposite!? get everyone to the game, theyll be expecting maybe 10,000 mfc supporters there and half of those to leave at half time. how about everyone makes a special effort to ge

Sadly I don't think you would need to organise a boycott to stop people attending.

You think they don't know that?

The mind boggles...

I am shifting in my opinion as to the role of us as supporters. I really don't think we seek enough accountability from the players and board, we politely wait for things to turn around. Are we similar to the polite nice young men the club has recruited?

Kicking and screaming may not be the solution but I do wonder if it would serve more purpose than dutiful blind support.

Pretty average suggestion! Having said that I'm not taking time off work and travelling 2 hours each way to watch what they dish up! I have been going to the footy as an 8 year old since 1987 and I've never been more dissapointed then I am right now.

It only hurts the club mate, and the club is it's members, you, me and everyone else on this forum.

Time for the fans to get the whip out. For the clubs own good it needs a massive shakeup and scare. The fans have given a 100% for zero return. It didn't take the bomber fans long to get their message across because they Don't put up with crap like we do.

Not going does nothing, though I feel your pain.

I'd love it if all Melbourne supporters turned their backs on the players before the game, half time and at the quarter breaks and if the few supporters remaining at the final siren could do it after the game a pretty strong point would be made.

Would only work if all did it, but...

Daz, think yourself lucky you missed the early 80's & all of the 70's

This disappointment has a familiar feel to it!

Simply can't get my head around this has been allowed to happen again.

The only single remaining factor that is keeping me afloat in my love for this club is the memory of 1987.

The excitement & emotion was almost impossible to put in to words. I crave the next step of actually winning a GF.

Sadly I think we have another long & tortourus road ahead.

What a stupid idea. Seriously. My biggest concern at the moment is players aren't turning up and you want us to go mute? We should be going to the game and expecting to see improvement week in week out. Not turning up is totally soft and indicative of a poor culture.

yeah I was going to bring up the Hawthorn game too,

the boycott is already in place, even the cheersquad barely attended that game.

Is it true that the half time contest when fans held up a Hertz banner had to be abandoned because they couldn't find any Melbourne supporters?

Screw boycotting. Fly the flag.

Seriously.

The garbage we dish up is just that. Garbage. Of the highest order.

Who are the fans that you respect the most, apart from Melbourne?

For me, it's Richmond supporters. Richmond haven't played finals since 2001. Yet they turned up week-in, week out.

Screw boycotting. Doesn't get you anywhere. Show up, be loud, be proud for the club rather than for the players. It's about the team, Norm, Ron, Robbie, the 50s, the history of this team. Not the current blokes impersonating a footy side. That's why we need to continue to go along, to show that through thick and thin we are there for the MFC. None of this pissing off to the snow business.

The Richmond supporters cant spit on their players if they dont turn up :)

That suggestion makes me ill. Dont you care about how our supporters are perceived? The coaches and players are copping enough grilling from the media. I`d absolutely hate it if the media decided to have a crack at us, the supporters. We`ve been here for Melbourne in the past, we`re here for Melbourne in the present and we`re here for Melbourne in the future and enternity.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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,
