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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
