I've joined other trains for the final ride.   It's ok that people want to join ours

As far as i'm concerned, the more support we have the better


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😊

Delete. CBF.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
