Not surprised one bit with the turn out of the crowd.

Raised this when I made mention of this when we had a pathetic 13k turn up only few weeks back and got smashed on here.

We've won a drought breaking flag, record memberships and yet we still have [censored] poor crowd numbers.

That was a [censored] pathetic turnout. Was standing behind the goals and Swans supporters outnumbered and outcheered us badly. Everywhere. I'd say 60% of the crowd was Sydney tonight.

I think part of the poor attendance, even before tonight, is just the way we’re playing. We don’t put on big scores, we don’t belt lowly teams, we were just grinding out wins… and now losses.

Definitely. Someone mentioned this on the radio. We aren't very fun to watch atm. And haven't been all season. The only "fun" game was vs GWS. All other games have been pretty clinical bores.

You are telling me this generational team that just won a flag is the reason no one is turning up?

No, I am not shirking that. I was there tonight, as I was there for the great Bulldogs win, the strong Tigers win, and this wayward but tight loss.

This is on us and our excuses for not coming to watch and making our home games into away games. Where half the crowd is cheering for the opposition.

Against the Melbourne Demons. 

Who are on top of the ladder.

Yep this was a rubbish crowd.

If you're not going because you think we don't play exciting football, you are the problem. Get off your [censored] and go support us. We are the reigning [censored] premiers and we're top of the ladder.

[Censored] it infuriates me to hear Melbourne supporters say "oh I just don't think we play exciting football".

On the other hand the level of umpiring is so bad I understand why people don’t want to watch games. 

But this is what I said a few weeks. The umpiring has really turned people off from the game.

AFL has turned this into a [censored] show.

I think the covid excuse has worn off now. So unless the AFL does something to change the umpiring of the game then unfortunately it's only going to get worse.

Outnumbered by an interstate mob at our own home game. [censored] pathetic. And the supporters who were there sounded like they were just sitting on their hands most of the match. Make some bloody noise, it is fair dinkum embarrassing. We kicked 6 of the first 7 goals and the cheering didn't get more than some polite clapping.

The Sydney cheer squad was louder than ours in the first quarter and we were up 5 goals to 0!! WT actual F.

- Covid

- Ticketek BS, hard to organise tickets

- transport is garbage

- Expensive

Hope this helps, I really don't know what else to say anymore to this question of low crowds every week. Talk about it being quiet I have fair dinkum lost my voice tonight and I reckon I lept out of my seat for our goals at least three times. Sorry but go and slaughter the Kayo brigade

We got there when gates opened at 3:30pm. We cheered for the entire Casey game. Short break. Then straight into the main game. 


Their cheer squad rocked up just before the main matched started. 

I’m not making excuses but it kinda hurts to hear that we were outdone.

I made that comment to make a point - I don't expect a few hundred in the cheer squad to make up for the lack of noise from 10k others. Obviously there were some yelling and cheering my throat is hoarse right now. But overall the noise from the Swans after a couple of their goals dwarfed anything we gave tonight (supporters as a whole not the cheer squad).

LOL. It’s a good thing Mrs Fritta (Pauline, Fritta’s mum) doesn’t read DL posts. She’s not to be taken lightly. 


This convo took place tonight…

Pauline: Who’s number 30 for THEM?

Me: Tom McCartin. Why?

Pauline: He just punched Bayles in the ribs. Ima track him down.
Me: If you find him, what are you gonna do?

Pauline: I’ll hunt him down… and kill him.😳

@dazzledavey36! Come over to our bay next week and tell Pauline we don’t make enough noise!!! 😁

Monkeypox clearly ripping through the MCC with members wing level 1 sparsely populated. 

The so called level 1 wing you talk about (non mcc) is constantly full. It’s the sk Warne stand that is literally empty every week

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
