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

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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.
