Ok there are obvious points to make how we're going at the moment, but this is game that we will be making a loss on big time because our crowd figure will be horrible.

But could this have been lessend?

I have heard nothing from the club this week appealing to the fans to get out and see the boys at Etihad. I'm not suggesting this would bring an extra 5000 but it might just get a few 50/50's off their backsides. And why not some kind of promotion, sponsor product showbags, or merchandise discount.

I guess my point is that I don't the the club has embraced the game, more try to forget about where it's at.

FWIW I am not actually at the ground today, I have had to work and I did try to get out of it, but there will be plenty that have decided not to go and could've easily got there and that in particular drives me nuts.

    Also not even our worst crowd against Freo recently - 13,004 in Round 20, 2009 at the MCG. At least then the blame could be laid at the fact that 1) it was pouring rain and freezing cold and 2) the tank was in (although we did [censored] them, and it was a great day other than the weather).

    Something the club does do, that works well, is things like offer the 'kick to kick on the 'G' session after the smallest-crowd games against interstate opponents at the 'G, on Barassi signing sessions at the Melbourne shop at the 'G'...

    ...at the 'G...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
