The next two weeks are our last chance for a decent earner so all those disenchanted supporters of ours must roll up to face the Hawks and Pies.

Our home games this year are a disgrace. Only these next two weeks offered any prospect of a windfall.

Look at the rest of them: Port Adelaide, GWS, Gold Coast, Eagles, Saints, Dogs, Swans, Freo and Norf (at Etihad!). Of those, only the Saints offers a break even prospect unless Demon fans stick fat.

Tough as it is, get there this week and for QB for our club's sake.

Pathetic clubs get pathetic fixturing.

It's not rocket science: winning games earns windfall. You don't get a financially-promising fixture without first winning games.

Bewildering this club says "it is what it is" and "this is where we're at": losing games by 100 every.single.week. is not where anyone ever expects a team to be at.

Truly an indictment on this great game.

Can't expect fans to show up. But I'll be there.

Perhaps you (and I applaud you) can take going and watching another heartless thrashing (hang on we are now due for our fortnightly 'effort' game).

Quite frankly, I am not prepared to drive and walk for over an hour (and back again) to watch our overpaid bludgers not gut run and our losing mentality coaches be outcoached yet again.

AFL gave us every opportunity with the draw to build good crowds, then the games actually started...

Yep. The AFL gsve us an easy run of home games against average to [censored] teams to kick the year off and we have been caned in all of them. We have had every chance to win a few and build some crowds up. It's too late now by the end if the year we will be lucky if the cheer squad show up

Our home games this year are a disgrace. Only Essendon (round 2) and these next two weeks offered any prospects of a windfall.

Essendon was an away game.

Why do we have to go and watch this drivel, they get my families money every year and what do they do with it? Jackshyte, frickin' sick of it but still go when shift work allows me.

You're right - not an earner which reinforces my point - but it was the game MFC members could use as compo for Darwin.

I have corrected the OP accordingly.

Peter Jackson yesterday: "I do know that we are looking at an operating loss of $1 million. If crowds do continue to decline, then the consequences of that might be a little bit north of that,"

WHAT DID I TELL YOU BUMS?

Now stop sooking and GET TO THE BLOODY GAME.

And take a mate.

If it's too tough stay in the bar.

I've contacted all my Hawks mates to come along Sunday... They won't have to worry about me yelling out this year.

Why do we need a topic 'encouraging' 'supporters' to turn up for the next two weeks, thought that was a given

It's a bit of a catch 22 hey Saty? We expect the palyers to put in 100% effort, but then have to be reminded about our duty of being a supporter.

Actually, I think this statement will be more accurate. The difference between the players and most of us supporters is that we turn up when we can, the players turn up when they want.

I always find it amazing how you can sit at a swim up bar all day, drink dozens of Bintangs, yet you don't need to get out of the pool to take a pee.

Tell you what, when MN is gone I will make the trip East to watch a live game.

I did join the MFC as a member for the first time last year as I was so annoyed by how the team was going and decided that was the best way to show my support.

Otherwise I can not justify to the wife, think she a closet Collingwood supporter even though I told her she now supports Melbourne, the cost when I know the MFC will have a 100 point loss. I can see her now rolling on the floor laughing at me and saying the words "Losers" for even asking to go!

Does anyone have a copy of the 1964 VFL Grand Final as I have a sudden need to see a successful MFC team!

Oh the pain of it all!

I sincerely hope for you that MN being gone is the answer, personally I don't think so, but best of luck with the better half

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
