Most important thing to do is turn up tomorrow

The most important thing we as supporters can do is turn up tomorrow and show our support.

Nothing will lift the players more than a huge showing of supporters.

Go Dees.

 

I'll be there but I cant promise I will last the whole game.

ditto

 

I have a premiership reunion at my local footy club that I will either attend for 10 mins or not at all to go to see the Dees on Sat. Will I regret not catching up with a great bunch of blokes who I love playing in a flag with to go to see MFC play footy?

Nah family is more important than a game of football. Sorry

Lets hope not

I have gotten over my shock, despair and outrage. I will be there.

Unfortunately there is a possibility we are looking at the last days of the Melbourne Football Club.

If that happens, I don't want to look back in a few years and know that I deserted them at the death.

If it doesn't happen it will mean we have survived because we managed to turn things around.

Either way, it will be profound and I do not want to miss it.

Go to the reunion mate.

I'll be at the G after contemplating a few weeks off after last Saturday. After the forced resignation of Schwab which I had argued for I think st only fair that I now rock up this week to support the club. I also feel this is when our support counts the most when the team is down on the canvas and getting smacked from all sides. I'll be there to yell "Get up Rock" and if we get smashed I'll be the one yelling "You're a tomato" and ordering another drink at the bar.

Yes, I think you will.


My first year I had a membership with this club was 1981, for those old enough they may remember Rd.3, a win by one point at the whitten Oval. I still have fond memories of that game and the atmosphere(not quite as good as the Whitten Oval in 1987). It turned out to be our only win for the season. It is easy to follow a team when they are flying, the true supporters show their support when the team is struggling. I will be there tomorrow, hoping that the DEES can start to turn things around.

US President John F Kennedy delivered his only only inaugral at 12:51 Friday, January 20, 1961

it included the following

" And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country."

And so we should ask not what our club can do for us but what can we do for our club in these testing times.

I will be there until the end and so will the group thats going with me.

Would fit perfectly in the #demonunity thread.

Look Pal, I have been a supporter of this Club for 60 years and I don't rock up to every game, but to say only a true supporter turns up when its all gone to Rats droppings is bull dust. we all contribute in many ways whether it be through your attendance at major debacles or you financially contribute with memberships. i wont be there tomorrow but will be there next week bringing my very aged mother,and , by the way , every time I have dragged her in we have always won handsomely and she is actually a Carlton supporter, well , I am not going to take her there am I!!!

No its been 50 years of mostly heart ache and if I didn't have another life I would have gone stark staring crazy!!

See where you're coming from but don't entirely agree. I'd love for every Dees supporter to turn up at all times, but would prefer a member who is absent over a non-member who turns up more often.

Agree with you here demonique, whilst supporting your team through appearance is very important, being a paid-up member is even more important to the club.

IMO the definition of 'supporter' is being a member of the club and no less. Those who are not, are just fans.

I will be there or i will be square

Why cant you get onto the club to get your mother in every week

I will be there - on my own but ever optimistic.


i will be taking my 4 month old for her first game with her new membership, i think i may have been the only person to sign up this week...

and regardless of the result i will be staying till the end..

My town is celebrating its centenary tomorrow, something that clearly only comes around once in a lifetime. I will be at the game, foregoing some of the celebrations, but if we are getting thumped I will not feel any compunction about leaving early so I don't miss the parade - once in a lifetime, or a round 3 game? Hmmmm.

  • 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.
