Supporter Strike!

Featured Replies

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

    Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

    For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
