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

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    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

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
