A friend who barracks for the Tigers said thatĀ the only downside ofĀ barracking for them now than five years ago is the huge crowd thatā€™s at each match these days and having to plan ahead. Each game is an event.Ā No more just rocking up at the last momentĀ

    I have a few mates who are Tigers members they say you have to have a reserved seat or stay home and watch the TV. I have been a member for most of the last 50 years however when the MFC membership exceeds 50k I will only by a 3 Ā - 5 membership and only go to the games against interstate teams. It is just too hard at any game against Tigers , Collingwood or Essendon.

    Dragging my boyfriend along so make it 27,001. 13 GC supporters, 26,988 MFC supporters and 1 disgruntled partner.Ā 

    Jaded,Ā I'm sure you could easily find a half decent Melbourne supporting boyfriend to go to the football with you to watch the mighty dees if the current one doesn't have the good grace to go along to the G with a smile on his face.

    Most of the good ones are gone but there must be one or two left.

    I've seen the attendants try and 'contain' you when there's been a big crowd. It ain't pretty, Uncle.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Ā Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningĀ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      Itā€™s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
