Home Games

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Hardly ever post on this forum I just like to have a little look here and there.

I know Melbourne don't draw in big crowds but I feel as though our home games don't feel like actual home games. This has nothing to do with other clubs having bigger support crowd at the games but it has something to do with our club. I feel as though when I am at an away game, It actually feels as though its an away game and we have entered another clubs stadium even if it's at the G. Should we as members be doing something to make the G Red and Blue? Should the club be doing more? Yes we aren't playing good football but I would love to walk into the G as though its our home!

Thank you, rant over now :) :)

 

Come to think of it, I really don't feel much of a difference between home or away games at G.

Sitting in the Melbourne members listening to people yell the abuse I'm only thinking makes it just feel like footy to me.

The only time I feel the footy differently is when I sit with dad at the MCC. Those bunch of flogs [censored] me right off. It's like they've diluted every annoying characteristic of every football fan ever, fermented it for 100 years and poured it out. Don't get me wrong, the networking advantages would be great for business, but sitting through a game there is... different.

Section N13 feels like home to me :)

As one of those flogs, I find the MCC the best place to watch the footy......No drunks spilling beer all over me or my kids, no one swearing all the time, no punch ups and fantastic supporters.......I was lucky to have my granddad put me down when I was born......

Mine did too. Unfortunately I got my membership when I was 17 and couldn't afford the fees. I was a poor uni student at the time. If I'd gotten it any time in the last 5 or 6 years it would have been fine and I would have kept it just for the networking advantages.

Would still sit with the Melbourne members though.

I just can't sit in the MCC. The stupid things those guys say just irk me.

The last time I was there some bloke kept yelling "Well done Judy Garland" every time Garland went anywhere near the ball. Since the ball spends a lot of time in our back line, the phrase was repeated over and over and over.

I've never had a beer split on me in the Melbourne members either :P


Another [censored] here - go [censored] yourself.

Jokes aside:

Everyone has the little things they love about where they sit - the MCC is where I sit with my mates and laugh and enjoy what has been a terrible experience these last 7 years.

But I remember the Farmer mark in the last rd in 98, the win over the Saints in front of 88k in that same year, the NM prelim in 2000 knowing we would win, the time I watched the most ridiculous game ever against the Crows in 02, the odd sight of the MFC on top of the ladder Rd 18 2004, embracing my old school captain after Jeff White kicked us into the finals against WB in 06...

There's nothing wrong with my MCC area.

Sit with me in the MCC level 2....i don't hold back...One needs to make a lot of noise to get the boys home..

i shall return in 2014 now that the Circus has left town..

Oh, and winning or even getting close to it, might improve attendances and atmosphere...

Your Dad's a [censored]?

I will sit in the car park and listen on the radio if that is what it takes.

Just win then any seat feels great


Your Dad's a [censored]?

Lol he often is, yes.

I love him, but I'll never forgive him for the genetically transmitted propensity to support the MFC that he has passed onto me.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
