I went last night with my son and granted we have been beyond poor however, my little fella is 4 and I am just making sure he has some fun at the game no matter what the score.

I was astounded after the saints had kicked the first three goals then Kent produced a great smother and snap for the first goal ... The silence was deafening. At that point we were only 2 goals down 20 minutes into a game.

No matter what you think of a player, coach whatever..... Make some noise. Plenty of times we had good patches of pressure and I thought I was in a library.

Give them the support you all say you have and give them a cheer.

Everyone talks how being competitive is a given for a player, well to be a fan and a supporter it is a given that you will cheer and support.

These are the things we can control.

Of all the things that MFC can be criticized for, fans that are still going to games are not one of them.

Melbourne fans, per head, make as much noise if not more than other teams. It's been shown numerous times over this terrible period. An inept start is hardly going to gee up the vocal chords of supporters. Not to mention that there'd barely have been 10,000 Dees fans in attendance yesterday. We make noise, there just aren't that many of us.

It's not a crack at the club it's at the supporters... If you are there, why not get loud?

In fairness prior to these times, our crowds have always been quiet.

It's pretty subjective - but I disagree.

I think we can all agree that we could all be louder.

When they smash 6 goals in a row you will hear some noise, the tide will turn.

Couldn't disagree more, really.

The noise from 20,000 MFC supporters exceeds the noise from 40,000 of many other clubs.

It's just hard to get up and about when you're three goals down five minutes in to a game being played in single-digit temperatures under an interim coach with one win on the board and at least four of your stars missing.

I think we should be proud of the fans who continue going to games.

Then you would not want to come to a Melbourne game at Subiaco Oval.

But it makes me want to make more noise.

When Melbourne ran out in the 2006 Final against Freo I sang our theme song and when the Lady in front of my put her hands over her hears I just sang louder! 40.000 Freo supporters against about 2,000 Melbourne fans.

Sometime you just have to try harder for your team.

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
