Supporter Strike!

Featured Replies

Posted

I'm sick of being embarrassed by the boys in those jumpers. They haven't turned up for the last two weeks. I propose that we go on strike rnd 4 against GWS. Imagine if NOT ONE Melbourne supporter turns up to watch that game. Would it embarrass the players into actually doing something?

My two boys are I are already on strike.

I told them after last week we are not going to another game until 1. we have won a game 2. we are showing winning form (I explained that as being beaten by only a goal or two and definitely not being thrashed).

The club........they already have our money which is what they want; and they don't get any more if we turn up.

The players.......well apparently they don't hear the crowd when they are concentrating on playing, so being there cheering is not required to ensure competitive performances.

The NEXT game I go to support MFC in they need to start as FAVOURITES and after tonight that won't be this year!!

So you're telling me next week was a bad choice of week to come down from Brisbane to see the team play?

I think they'd definitely hear the silence of an empty G.

I don't mind going and we lose that comes with following a sports club. Not even the best win every single time. But to watch us consistently be embarrassed and humiliated when I've got a young family at home? Yeah I think I'll be hanging up the boots for the next few weeks at least. I'm a sucker so I'll still watch on TV but I've got better things to do with my weekends at the moment and this is coming from someone whose been a regular attendee week in, week out since I was 6 years old.

Basically I'm on strike until Schwab goes.

Possible protests:

Go, but don't clap or cheer.

Or go, but wearing the other teams colours.

Or, if (just kidding, when) the score blows out again, walk down to the boundary and then turn and face the other way, turning your back on the game.

  • 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.
