Lack of Crowd Noise

[whitito 187]

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 was in the MCC members so obviously the focal point for our support on the day besides the cheer squad, but I thought we were louder than the saints when we got up and going.

Listening on the radio it definitely sounded like the dees fans were louder than the saints fans....

[whitito 187]

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

I was yelling very loudly at my Radio yesterday whilst at work.

Does that count?

Rubbish. I always make sure i boo our players insipidness very very loudly thank you very much.

Riewoldt got booed pretty loudly when he went near the ball.

I was surprised how vocal the Dee fans were actually....

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.

I had some absolutely superb heckles yesterday.

Some of the highlights include......

"KIM DUTHIE!"

"KICK IT TO MILNEY"

and

"ROSS LYON LEFT YOUR CLUB BECAUSE YOU KEPT SEXUALLY ASSAULTING PEOPLE"
