Did anyone see the GWS rent - a - crowd behind the goals and the Ponsford end? If these guys weren't street performers paid to come and support the Giants I'll go HEY !!! Pretty pathetic when you have to pay people to dress up as monks and dance around under the false pretence of genuine support.

Pathetic plastic club with rent-a-crowd support. The AFL should be embarressed,

I agree,are they all Hari Krishna types in Western Sydney? or Monks? or just plain freaks...?

What a load of BS...clearly they are not genuine supporters...when you are getting smashed it doesnt matter what team you are...generally as a rule you would sit down & shut up because

A: your crap

B:you cant stand watching crap

C: Losing supporters dont want attention or they will get more unwanted attention from hecklers!

Yes GWS,we see through your bs image. Plastic is a great description.

To be fair the AFL gave tickets to anyone that wanted them for this game. Didn't you get the email offer?

No, forward it please. I'd be interested to know why the AFL give away what I pay for?

I like how it's ok to dress up as a Buddhist and make a [censored] of yourself. Next time show up in blackface and see what happens.

On a slightly related topic, did anyone notice Melbourne fans getting a pay in the Age match review for the second game in a row.

Last time it was for cheering the injury to slimy Didak (if we're not too soft, we're too hard apparently). This time it was for "staying away" on "a nice winter's Sunday".

Thanks, Martin Blake -- whoever you are. Forecast all week was for showers and 13, it's 16th v 17th and the visiting team has NO supporters whatsoever, we're playing in the second-worst timeslot known to man with the match finishing in darkness on a school night, it's live on free-to-air TV ... I was gobsmacked that we pulled 20,000.

On the opposite page there's a report on North v Adelaide. North still in finals contention, Adelaide playing for top spot, significant travelling support, game played indoors ... crowd: 18,866. Oddly, no mention of North fans staying away.

I can always use that image of the monks to remind myself in the future that my team may be getting flogged, but at least I don't look like that.

I don't really 'get' the joke either.

I mean, is the joke that buddhists and/or hare krishna's wear orange?

That's not a joke people. A colour is not a joke.

Comedy is tough, but it's like learning a language - if you don't know what the hell you are doing, you will make a fool of yourself. Leave it to the experts.

I thought they had turned up expecting a one-day cricket match... surprised none of them had a half a watermelon stuck on their head.

They did, but Phil Scully ate them.

...and the watermelon.

Edit: 2nd punchline for that extra bit of comedy in your day.

Nah, I'm pretty sure watermelon would be safe around Phil... he looks like a strictly meat and potatoes guy to me.

so by your logic we should have spent the last 5 years staying home with the curtains drawn waiting until we started winning games? funny, sounds to me to describe the polar opposite of a supporter

comedy costumes and banner bearers of verified appeal but dubious authenticity aside, good on 'em for getting showing a bit of resolve

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
