Exactly!   This makes me wonder if our judgements on here of how loud other teams are comes from us watching them on TV.  Whereas our judgements of how quiet we are comes from being at the ground. 

Maybe other teams' fans aren't as noisy at the ground as they might sound on tv.

This is a great point, Luci. But then some on here maintain there is a difference not in terms of the cheer squads but the crowd in general.

    Yeah that's a trick used often for the interstate games as well. 

    Definitely. I watched our Alice Springs game vs. Port on TV and I knew we didn’t have a huge squad there yet they seemed super loud. It sounded as though there was 10 times the number of people.

    I wanted to point out that after Sparrow's goal in the third, the atmosphere was electric. Not just the celebration of the goal but even before the next bounce. The crowd was up and about like willing the team to keep scoring ala "Bang Bang Bang", which we should've... 😩

    I was there on Friday night, level 4 Q1 front row. I watched bits and pieces of the replay and the sound at the G' was louder than what it seems on the TV.

    I am more of the idea that the TV actually diminishes the sound level, like you loose the reverberation that is created by the G'.

    Channel 7 turns the crowd sound down so you can hear the commentators - unlike the radio broadcasts.

    Nice of them to assume we actually want to hear them.

    I think that our Melbourne fans (as in, Dees fans in Melbourne) are coming off an experience unlike any other fanbase, in terms of watching a drought-breaking premiership from afar. Some of the "boost" that fans get from success was naturally somewhat dispersed. I think a lot of people don't know quite how to be in these uncharted waters.

    I'd also say that our fans are hesitant to be vocal when things are going badly - it's a learned response that hasn't quite been unlearned yet (although I'm not sure that it's any worse than at other clubs with similar histories). Also I'd wager that our fans are, on average, smarter about the actual rules of the game and less interested in yelling ball every five seconds, which comes off as less passionate...but I might be biased in that opinion.

    One thing we do and have done consistently even in the dark years is show up at a great rate. I'd say the core of our members are among the MOST rusted on in the league, because how on earth else have they stuck around?

    Not sure where this page sourced their info and if it's verified, but it certainly goes counter to the narrative around Dees fans attendance this season:

    Anyone need motivation to attend the game?

    Imagine next year we are playing Geelong away in a final. We have a recent history of only getting 45K to a final.

    Suddenly we find ourselves playing a final at Kardinia Park!

    GET TO THE GAME!

    That’s right, Dub! Also, this may well be the last time we get to watch our beloved Dees play live, until a practice match in six months time. Of course we all hope not, but it could possibly be so.

    If we're looking for a crowd comparison in the sporting world we might be more like Arsenal. Their previous home was known as the Highbury Library. As supporters I'd say we're more like Fulham.

    Very different to their near neighbours who since Ken Bates sold his £90 million debt to Abramovich for £1 have attracted mostly glory hunting chavs.

    They have - almost became the Man City of London, with everyone jumping on board, including the swathes of local moleskin-wearing rugger buggers who got involved during Cool Britannia.

    Oi!  Chelsea fan here (since '88)

    can't say i disagree with your post but thought i needed to fly the flag a little.  :-)  After Tuchel got sacked, I'm actually at my lowest level interest ever.  I have been a die-hard fan over the years

    I hear ya DubDee. I used to work with rusted on Blues fans who stood at the Shed End in the old second division long before they became a depository for dodgy Russian money.

    The noise at that point was incredible.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
