    I normally have a preferred team that I’d like to see win, either a mates team or one that hasn’t won one for ages, so I certainly don’t mind people jumping on our journey. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Hell, if we make the GF I’d be happy if a lot of neutral supporters that will be able to attend, wherever the game is played, support us loudly. 💪🏼🔵🔴

    i for one welcome everyone who wants to join our bandwagon

    the hallmark of successful sides is how many interlopers switch and clamber aboard

    i want our membership up to that 75k target; if people wanna join us now we can sniff success, the more the merrier

    I had some fondness for Carlton and North because of Barassi.  And some of my mates followed the Tigers so I was on that bandwagon in the 70's.

    And there is much goodwill to the MFC simply because we are called Melbourne.

    All aboard.

    Just enjoy every moment, and if we are able to win it this year, buy everything after our GF win😉

    If other supporters want to cheer us to a win, then let them come😊

    What have I done wrong? I haven’t even made an appearance in the thread yet? 😎😉

    We’ll have a ‘fairytale year’ where we aren’t the object of blatant hostility. If we win and become a dynasty, the Hatorade will flow thick and fast.

    We’re here to embrace the joy, not wallow in collected resentments. I say drink it in!

    This is dumb. You want to build the club and shore up its existence?

    Get over seeing new faces - we need them.

    AND get used to seeing some old faces that you don’t like seeing! 

    Everyone welcome.

    what do you mean mate? CBF What does that mean?

    Replied and then decided to delete it because I couldn't be "effed" dealing with it tbh.

    Bizarre thread mate. I was happy for the Dogs, I was happy for Richmond (the first time), I think it's great that other fans want us to do well.

    Yep - the more, the merrier, I say. Get the Goodwin-Crows connection going strong this week, to get as many SA neutrals behind us on Sat night.

    Anyone who wants to support us is welcomed. As a neutral fan you’d surely be backing us and that’s great.

    The last time we had a genuine bandwagon was 87 I reckon. I welcome every. single. one. 
    For the older more bruised of us, like myself, we can take a particular pleasure that only those who have suffered know. But every sungle supporter who turns up at this hour brings a bit more joy to my heart.

    Any chance SANFL Norwood supporters will turn up on Saturday night to give us some support?

    I understand that newcomers will not understand our experience of enduring disappointment for 57 years; but whatever, everyone’s welcome.
    It is, however, sweeter for those of us who have suffered the most.

    Considering most of our games will be watched live by neutrals I hope they all jump on our bandwagon and shake whatever stadium we play in.

    I can understand the sentiment. I went week in and week out when we got thumped every week. When you are down and out out and get txts from people hanging [censored] on you. They won't be coming to my party.

    There are lots of mates that sympathized with me over that period. They are welcome on the bandwagon and are jumping on.

    • 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

      It’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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
