Supporters to arrive at Quarter Time

Recommended Posts

I would never encourage fellow supporters to stay at home, but I suggest the time has come for us to send a message to the team. We are fed up with the sequence of insipid first quarters. I propose that all MFC supporters turn up at Quater Time this week at Etihad.

Thats a stupid idea.

FFS Farewell game for Crossy and possibly Russian, time for respect not making a silly statement. First 10 mins of the second quarter was the issue last week not the first, effort was there in the first just not the execution of the plan

Fantastic way to see off a champion.

This is almost certainly part of the club's thinking releasing the Cross stuff beforehand.

Anyway, I'll be there from the opening bounce.

I'm a bit disappointed Wayne as wasn't it your idea for supporters to turn up to training after 148? I would expect that idea off any number of villains on this site (you know who you are) but I wouldn't have expected it from you.

If you think I'm coming all the way down from Sydney with my son in tow (in his leg brace) only to give a quarter of the game a miss in some misguided "protest" (not to mention the fact that it would be a kick in the guts to Cross), you must have rocks in your head. Ridiculous idea!!

Whilst i like your loyalty i can see the value in missing the start (as a fan).

As i hinted to BBo during the norf game- the worst thing you can do is stink up the first quarter.

It ruins it for us all when they give away 7 goals as a welcoming gesture .Especially kids.

I haven't been back since and they've done it ever since.

So fcuk them-overpaid nancies don't deserve nor need my cash and time.

The follow up explanations from the club are more sickening.

It's actually a worthy idea, but the timing is wrong.

We did similar things with Melbourne Victory years ago when they tried to shunt those of us who sang behind goals.

People power works, but you need a large passionate group for others to rally around or lead the way, and TBH I don't think you can make the same sort of mark for AFL unless you got say the cheer squad to do it.

When the north end was empty and no singing at the game until say the 70th minute or even post game that means you are seen and heard. AFL has supporters all over the ground. Would need both members areas and cheer squad empty, then full after quarter time to make a ripple.

Given the players dont usually arrive till the 3rd quarter, well after the match is over, I'm not sure the players/club would even notice a "first half" protest!

Well the difference is that with Victory it was a concious decision. In Melbourne's case, I don't think they *choose* to be poor in the first quarter. They're just not a very good team. Boycotting probably wouldn't achieve anything.

You shouldn't have rocked up to your honeymoon.

I suspect OP had tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Clearly not a serious suggestion.

Agreed. I thought it was very funny. (Certainly didn't take it seriously...)

Only because 2200 people entering at 1/4 time will hardly be noticed....

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
