The vast majority of supporters around me were fantastic.

I have to say, and this is a criticism I’d gladly tell anyone at the club who’d listen, it’s incredibly difficult to go to our home ground (which we’ve been banned from for 2 years prior) and see the side get beaten in such a comprehensive and consistent manner after half time week in and week out. I know people have been critical of the supporters but each game was so eerily similar I think it’s a lot to ask of supporters for them not to go into their shell and think ‘here we go again’.

The support was great last night

I don't buy the narrative that we are a quiet fanbase. We're just as passionate and noisy as most other clubs (i acknowledge the pies fans are next level). 

And our cheer squad is excellent. I was close to them last night. they sang their hearts out

It was probably 70-30 crowd to us. I thought they were louder than us and I was there. Heard Bucks say same thing post match and he was there.

It's not hard to see why. A combination of a very old demographic and a lot of supporters with hearts in their mouths waiting for the 2nd half fade out.

The make some noise pop up in the big screen was frankly embarrassing. But whatever works.

Maybe I’m being pedantic and these are very small things but they add up and it didn’t feel like a Melbourne Home final to me. Firstly the purple illumination of the exterior of the MCG. I understand why but I personally thought that the tribute done prior to the game was fitting enough and lighting should have been red and blue prior to game and maybe go purple post game. For the second game in a row a supporter in opposition colours tossed the coin. Finally the lion noise after a Brisbane goal. As a club I don’t think we are parochial enough. In no ways does this influence the result of the game but it does influence my feeling of it being a Melbourne home final having gone the last few weeks.

What was with the music after the goals gave me the absolute shi TS. Also the lion roar it was our home game FFS 

Was about to post the same thing. We earn the right for a home final and they play the roar after evey lions goal. Would they do the reverse at an interstate venue for a final? If MFC wanted to support members attending, they could at least send a please explain to the ground or AFL or both. Salt in the wounds!

I was there. they were not louder than us. I didn't realise there was any Lions fans there at all until the 4th quarter

That bloke worked for CUB. They sell the coin toss as part of the multi million dollar sponsorship packages.

I banged on about this last week but I thought the supporters were great tonight. Decent turnout with 62k and the place was electric at times especially during the 2nd half. Unfortunately the team didn't get the job done but the supporters were fantastic. 👏👏👏

Agree, thought everyone was really gee'd up and when we had those little bursts late they tried to get us over the line. Thought Brissy's fans were pretty good late in the game too which sucked though.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
