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.

FCS What the hell do you think that would achieve? Seriously, what is the end result you are trying to get from taking that action? Maybe the club would realise we are in trouble? REALLY? You thin

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.

As John McInroe would say - You cannot be serious. Demon supporters need to make a stand and BE THERE

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.

    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

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
