RIP Melbourne Football Club

Sticking by it.

Don't know why.

Maybe so I can shove it up the rest of them if we become good again.

Maybe because I'm just an idiot.

 

That's the issue. The supporters are showing more passion towards the club than the players.

In the professional AFL game of today, the supporters, don't have a choice?

I wont be goingto any more games, thats for sure, im dead inside.

I used to love footy, now its just a source of pain i must remove myself from.

Agreed. For me to attend a game is a 9hr turnaround.

Ain't gunna do it for this garbage. They can play in an empty stadium until they can put up a consistent effort.

They have been trying to play consistent for the past 7 years, only to fail time after time.


Anyone else see the fat kid cryin on tv after the game in A MFC polo.

Sums it up in a picture

guess I'll be watching a fair bit of local footy this year.

Messages of support flooding in from opposition fans on Facebook, including Bomber fans. Never seen anything like this.

 

I love this club, however, the constant smashing are killing my mood. I hate going to the office Monday morning.

This club drains my life.

And reading Demonland hardly helps, does it.

I give up. Member for 46 years. I've got better things to do with my life than watch this mob. I left at half time and glad I did. Have just enjoyed a glass of red while watching the second half debacle on my Foxtel HD. I'm out of here while this mob are in charge. I'm sick of wanna be coaches coming in and experimenting with my football club. I also reckon that the current board are disrespecting the memory of Jimmy. For the current president to roll over and take the $500k whack for not tanking says a lot about our club. Jimmy was all about creating an all incusive club to which people felt that they belonged. Don Mc reckons leaving the supporters in the dark for six months and to the ravages of Carro and the press lynch mob was the best thing for the club.

Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm warming to the opinion of both Bluey and Range Rover.

I want be back until something changes,

It was more about protecting people at the club than the club itself unfortunately.


Just got this text from a good mate who's a pies supporter "Fcuk man! The supporters i feel for so badly! Watched the whole game. So sorry man! U guys dont deserve this I'm so sorry" what you guys think??

I'm getting similar messages and from Essendon supporters.

As long as there's a Melbourne Football Club I'll be a member.

Other teams have been down - they all rise up eventually.

The other day I was listening to the Kelly song about bradman - what's the line? They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn.

i actually don't feel any emotional investment in melbourne anymore.

i offer to membership as a token gesture to their survival. i can't see it happening.

god knows they don't deserve it.

in many ways, i would be happier if we folded - then i could just follow football with a clean conscience - just enjoy the great games and ignore the rubbish.

no guilt, just enjoying good football.

I would give the game up if the MFC folded. I watch football to support. It's not interesting unless you're following one team. Even when watching opposition games.

Tell that to the guy who's had his eyes stabbed out.

Was there a lot of kids crying, if not why can't you just refer to him as the kid in the MFC polo FFS. He or another family member may read demonland.

Think before you post


I can't give up on my team. I would stop going to footy if we folded or merged. Never give up

No need to get upset over an accurate description

Olisik you just don't get it, he is a kid. Grow up

I won't be attending games or handing over a single centavo until the ringleaders are frogmarched out the front door and competent administration replaces them.

Until then cest la vie.

Edited by Range Rover


I regularly go to games and have done my bit by this club for so long to throw in the towel.

But tonight was the first night that i wanted to cry (But didn't cos my kids and old man was with me) and also nearly left before the end of the game (Still didn't leave because i believe that real supporters support for the whole game and not when the going gets tough).

But to be honest I can't defend our club any longer, and can't help but agree when people make fun of us now. We really are now showing how much of a shambles we really are.

Time for those on the inside to wake up and smell the roses. Things aren't as rosy as it seems, and if nothing happens quick we will be the next Fitzroy.

Gippy

Viney had a quiet game, looks like mfc culture is rubbing off on him

Then you are a perfect supporter for the team at this point in time. Your asking for some resilience and fight from your team yet you give up as easy as they do!

Pulled up a little sore during the first. Did well to continue playing.

you're all full of it, I think.

The club is in serious crisis, and you're going to sit down, cross your arms and frown?

Things fix themselves.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
