As repeated over and over, Melbourne has high fan to attendance and fan to membership ratios. We are not, and never have been, a fair weather supporter group. What you in fact asking for, is for us to be more fair weather - higher attendances in a post-flag year where we are in premiership contention again. And you can bet your bottom dollar we'd be accused of being fair weather had our attendances skyrocketed this year.

Not sure of your logic here. 🤔

    MFC have just put out a response to members concerns about oppo supporters sitting in our dedicated seating area’s. It is requesting members not to transfer seats to non MFC patrons but I haven’t witnessed any non MFC patrons being challenged by MCC staff.!!

    Quite a few Pies supporters in our area (N49) last game - annoyed the hell out of me (mainly because we lost). Personally I don’t have a huge problem with letting others use your tix…but curious to hear others’ thoughts…

    The other key driver of noise & passion is demographic. I've covered this before but put simply - footy means more to those with less. It's a weekly highlight (for many, the key highlight) & an escape from the daily pressures. You can see this at Pies games, Blues games & Tigers games - there are swathes of grown men who rock up in pilly trackies, a 1999 bomber jacket & are incredibly vocal. You get the impression the footy is their key weekly outing.  

    It's a cliche but our more affluent supporter base results in less passion - put simply, they've got a lot of other things to do.

    We on this forum aren't the problem & by definition have some fanaticism.

    Yeah it was like that in the Warne stand too. To the point where some obnoxious Pies fans were making a scene in the Hassett bar. Plenty of complaints were made that night hence the email.I don't have a major issue with it either but if it gets overdone then you lose a bit of the premium gloss I guess.

    I don't mind, as long as we are winning. I had a really annoying one sitting right behind me, but I  wasn't compelled to complain to the club.

    The last thing I want to do during a game is complain but many must have.

    Unfortunately not being able to attend last nights game I can't fully judge how the turnout for our supporters was.

    On TV it seemed that we actually outnumbered the Carlton supporters or maybe broke-even at the very least. Can anyone who went confirm this? It seemed like a good crowd from our bunch!

  • Quote

    I can certainly can stand being corrected here.  I think the crowd was about even but unfortunately they were a bit louder than us

  • Quote

    I was in AFL members so always hard to tell but my mum who was in MCC said it was probably 50:50. But the final seconds and final quarter you'd think the entire crowd was Melbourne.

    I think much of the problem is that we're not a very loud supporter base. We were there last night and last week. We're just not big on big cheering. Finals should be different though.

    I did seem to pick up that the cheers were a bit louder for the blues fans, especially after a goal the "yeahhhh" is really pronounced. They have one of the loudest crowds though.

    But proud that we didn't get outnumbered, big tick.

    2 weeks to sort yourselves out - no excuses for this one, let's see us pack the G in red and blue and drown out the Sydney blow-ins. We completely outnumbered Geelong and Hawthorn in 2018 I want another see of red and blue and to hear "Mellll-bourne" reverberating around the stadium.

    I'm working, would much rather a holiday. At this stage I will only be able to make a semi-final or grandfinal, not that I'll be able to get seat for the granny anyway.

    Of course not, coming back into Canberra airport at 3pm with a toddler and a pregnant wife is.

    And yes, get whatever paraphernalia that gets you off your couch and to the game.

    Lucky bastards.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
