Petition or mass rally

I have a better idea, all 35,000 members turn up at the game on Sunday and support the club. And every one bring a friend and give them a scarce.

Here! Here!

I refused to sing the song at the start of round 2. I was that annoyed, and felt like they had to earn it.

Something is seriously wrong with the club. I will be turning up against West Coast (I'm guessing a crowd of 10,000).

UNITE!

agree. It made me laugh. Footy is about entertainment and we don't get any excitement on game day. Thank you for brightening my spirit.

Mass rally of MFC supporters? How bout we meet at the Melbourne Club for a stiff G 'n T beforehand. Never has such an angry gathering of leather elbow patches happened in town. We can hold up gentile signs which proclaim "down with that fellow whose spoiling it for us!" Might get as many as 10-12 attend, if lucky.

Rally, shmally. That'll look ridiculous.

If we lose to GWS, bring in the AFL to take control, I say. We no longer have the ability to do it ourselves. May god help us all (and that's coming from an atheist).

You are easily amused if those tired old Couldabeen stereotypes can still make you laugh . Copping it on Richmond Station from young feral Bummer supporters was bad enough without reading it on our own fan site.

I'm hearing you, I hatesnakes. I was thinking of posting the same thing. I feel like if AFL wont do anything then maybe we need to show our outrage. Demand that Schwab goes. It's would be symbolic.

In a way I'm glad we've got this bad now as something may finally be done about it. My concern is that Mclardy, Schwab will be too selfish to fire themselves.

Final note, I do think we need to do better at supporting our players. Booing them doesn't help. It makes me feel even more embarrassed about our club culture.

Thanks Genevieve,

Glad somone agrees! I suppose my point is that it is we all want things to change at the MFC. Whether we post regularly on this site, it does not really matter, what really matters is what happens to the club and sometimes the only way is for supporters en masse to take some kind of action. If the faceless people at the top of the club refuse to move on because of their egos, because they are deluded, whatever, then someone must do something to make it quite clear that their seemingly inaction or their direction is not on.

What is the problem I wonder with the supporters showing their displeasure to the hierarchy en masse?

How else can we do it, not methinks via this website, I doubt whether anyone there reads this!

I agree about supporting the players, I believe it is wrong to boo them, or to single out individuals such as J Watts. That achieves nothing.

I'm up for it. As supporters sitting around discussing what's wrong and what needs to happen is great and all... But it's not achieving the changes we want. I agree that it shouldn't be up to us to do anything. BUT these are desperate times... And it's been dragging on for years (it's been argued 50). So maybe we should do something about it!

It would be a powerful message that may just attract enough media attention to help eventually bring the house down. A first time. It may show the AFL and our club that we're just not accepting it anymore.

But it would need to be huge.

Good on you Genevieve, that's the spirit!

Banners, placards, posters. Nice BIG LETTERING.

Unfurl them inside and outside the MCG on Saturday.

MFC ADMIN = FAIL

SAVE US AFL

Make sure the TV cameras and the media hounds are all over it.

Individual people CAN effect change.

Kick the bums out.

  • 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.
