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

neither of those sides are on top of the ladder 

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

This is a ridiculous thread.

All the best. 

If my grandmother had wheels instead of legs, she'd be a bicycle.

"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.

Heh. I don't think we've had an "it's the supporters' fault" thread since the Neeld days.

Dr Who would love this thread haha


It’s all Charlie’s fault: he shouldn’t have got a haircut. ?

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.

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
