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

Have a look at their membership no ‘s …I was at the game today & considering GWS have no supporters..not a bad turn out. It was pretty hard to get excited with the quality of football we were playing …at least we didn’t sook it up like ESS

    The crowd that was there was far from the reason why we lost today, you try cheering hard when the boys are serving up poop on a platter. When the game was there to be won and the team pulled their collective fingers out and started to have a crack, it didn’t sound like an empty stadium in the dead of winter… except when GWS scored a goal. 

    It was bitterly cold and yet very, very few of the attendees got up and left. 

    Close thread, what a disgrace

    All the best.

    "Ifs" are great, but we had a team that didn't turn up until half time.  That's a poorly coached side.  We've now lost 2 out of the last 3, and those against teams that aren't in the top 4. The team looks tired and lackluster. We have a short break now before playing Port, and will get royally touched up if we put in another performance like this.

    It isn't up to the supporters to get the #1 team over the line against a team that drew with North and lost to Hawthorn. The team needs to get itself up (as GWS did).  The first half non-appearance was a disgrace. Any team that needs the fans to paper over their lack of commitment in a half of a game doesn't deserve those fans.

    I’m only just now getting feeling back in my extremities. My fingers and toes didn’t know what hit them. The last thing I wanna read right now is someone shaming fans who didn’t go today, as well as the fans who were there but apparently not making enough noise. So yeah, seemingly all fans. 
    This thread is a waste of space and ought to be closed.

    Well, not a bicycle. More like the bicycle version of a centaur or Minotaur. A cycletaur, if you will. ?

    Silly reply, I know. But this is a silly thread so, whatevs.

    Given the top tier was closed off, I could have sworn there was at least 20k there today. Bizarre really to see 16k flash up on the screen. And as usual, we were loud for the amount that was there.

    Hard to make noise when they are sending us to sleep. First half felt like watching paint dry.

    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.

    Singin' my song man.
    Posted in a thread the other day how attending a game is a 700k round trip for me.
    I've turned up plenty of times when the players haven't.
    Gets old and makes the drive home real long.
    Have found if I stay home and watch on TV and we're stinking it up I can go out the backyard with the radio and not waste all my day.

    I've also seen plenty of games where our crowd is very quiet early only to rouse late game.
    By product of watching us capitulate too often I reckon.
    Wish it wasn't like that but it is.
    I said to my young bloke one game "Gets loud doesn't it."
    "Yeah, but it's always the other team." was his reply.
    Broke my heart.

    Saving grace was taking the kids to see us in the finals in '19 with huge pro Melbourne crowds.
    Hannan kicking his goal right infront of us was off the richter scale.
    Cherished memories.

    "Melbourne fans breath it in." ❤️

    Think you need a little less party time mate.

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

    We were stunned by the lack of intensity and pressure by the so-called top team. They played like under 12s.

    What a ridiculous thing to say. 

    Don't you realise the real problem is the curse of Norm Smith!

    We can all scoff but the big clubs know a big loud supporter base is like having a 2-3 goal tail wind.

    Jesus H! What a load of [censored]. Crowds don’t win games, footballers do. I guess the games that have been won and lost during no crowd COVID shouldn’t count then?

    Johnny mate you need a manager. You are handling yourself waaay too much.

    Last time I made a four hour drive to see us get pantsed by the pies.

    How about we play better first?

    Unfortunately covid makes it impossible to just turn up and a lot of older people who aren’t tech savvy find it too hard these days. 
    We tried to get a group of friends to go but found it very hard to organize seats in n the same area . 
    I went with my son but it would have been 5 or six of us if we were just allowed to rock up.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
