If we were a side that had 25k turn up and make noise today, we very well might have got a W

Mark Williams was literally asking the crowd to make noise at 3 qtr time. If you could've come and you didn't, you have no grounds to criticise. 

All the best. 

 

Lol now I’ve seen it all. 
I was at the game. We made plenty of noise in the last quarter to help the team. You know what we didn’t do? Select a non existent forwardline and struggle to win clearances. 
Jesus Christ let’s blame us supporters for putting up with a mediocre club for 60 damn years. 

I couldn't attend (Interstate member). There seemed to be plenty of noise from the crowd while watching on tv.

we're the top side on the ladder and we had 16k there. Made no noise for 3 quarters. 
Congratulations on seeing it all

How have attendances been going this year? How many did Richmond get? Geelong? 
Give me a break. We got 17,000 which is almost as many as came last week to watch two Victorian sides. 

Maybe if there was something to cheer about we would have got going. We are not a [censored] supporter base that cries and boos all game.

Geelong not doing too badly it seems. And Essendon were up and about and Richmond have 100,000 members. Twice what we have. 
To blame the fans for today’s loss is legit the single funniest finger pointing I’ve seen since Essendon fans blamed the umpires last week. Absolutely dreaming. 

Lol pathetic thread. Blame supporters for the loss lmao.

Guess Tracs 25m directly in front miss was due to the crowd numbers.

Doesn't alter the thread which is a fair comment. Imagine how much louder if another THIRD (8,000)  more fans could have made. 
Of course the players play the game and are responsible but facts are facts and the statement out of 50,000 members only about 12,000 turned up. Rest are MCC and supporters and GWS!

And don't write in with 60 years of frustration !!!  That's not relevant this season YET! 


I don't think the crowd was the difference (and there was definitely plenty of noise in the last quarter) but it was a bit disappointing that only 17,000 turned up. I understand that numbers are down due to COVID nerves and Ticketek inconvenience, but it's a sad sight when Melbourne can't pull a decent crowd when we're top of the ladder and fans have been deprived of a home game for a month.

Johnny I was there,  and there was bugger all to make noise for in the first 3 qtrs other than out of frustration,  we were awful!

We resembled a team in the last and the crowd got involved accordingly. 

It was as also the coldest I can ever remember being at the footy!

By the way did you see Richmonds crowd on Thurs,  and they have twice our members.

Yeah let’s blame the supporters

What a foolish comment 

Never mind the crowd not turning up, what about the players? 

[censored] off

in the middle of a pandemic. 2 weeks ago you could have 3 adults over to your house - you reckon people might be ****scared about being with 25K other people??


There was no lack of noise and support. What was lacking was intensity (early) and smart decision making and clean execution.

Was at the game and the crowd in the last quarter was doing everything they could to lift the boys. It truly sounded like 40k+ with the amount of noise in the stands. We did what we could and they couldn't get it done.

This club is a hard one to turn up for when you enjoy watching good competitive sport where 2 teams go at it trying to win. Lots of fans are accustomed to the Demons picking and choosing when they'll have a crack...and many probably suspected today was going to be one of those days where the players couldn't be bothered...and they were right.

We have had so many years of the results being worse than they should have been, based purely on inconsistent effort, it'll take 3+ years of consistent effort from the players before supporters will attend consistently.

I was there, unfortunately for me. 

Will try and make more noise next time, pretty sure it was directly my fault. 

Today did nothing for my ongoing #mfcss


They should be able to play well anywhere, anytime. Crowd noise or not. They switch off and then on the flip side individually try to do too much.. bern the same story for a number of years.

Pathetic reason and look at yourself as a supporter ! The first 14 rounds have been in vain  for you ? Did you go ? Go to another Club then you picker and chooser. 

[censored] thread.

We drew 16,000+ to a game where there were about 100 GWS supporters tops, on a day where it felt sub-zero.

Essendon had the night slot last week against us and drew 19,000-odd.

Meanwhile the 16,000-odd of us who were there were making as much noise as we could to gee them up.

Really, [censored] thread.

You make a fair point and no, I didn't go today. To be honest, I don't go to games anymore as I just don't enjoy it. 

My overtly negative comments on Demonland help me put the frustration of the days' performance behind me, but are probably best ignored! The first 14 rounds have been a good step forward for the club...we still have a long way to go.

As I've said before, those that have enjoyed the journey to where we are now, and continue to ride the highs and lows without complaint, are the ones who I admire the most and who rightfully will enjoy the ultimate success the most when we finally get there.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
