Well they do make up a fraction. And that’s not just a maths jibe, the MCC is sometimes 3 qtrs of the Dees fans at a game during the year.

Just for your reference - This was from the Redlegs members area, not MCC.  The place was jumping.  I'm right next to the camera, screaming like a mad woman, btw. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxcXAZ_MW4LzbHQ_khGWD2h2DnzMnChKpF

    Queens Park Rangers. Have followed them since 1974 when I first lived in London for seven years. Been up and down but just loved standing behind the goals and getting involved with the crowd. Been to all the big grounds up and down the country but felt at home at Loftus Road.  Go Hoops.

    that'll become kings park rangers, presumably

    Half then? 

    Not to be flippant but I don’t see the point in running away from our MCC support.

    MFC fans would still represent most of the MCC yeah?

    Yes, I would say that a large percentage of MCC members barrack for Melbourne, but I don't think it goes the other way.  Most Melbourne supporters are not members of MCC

    You seem to be all over DA matters Katrina.

    Anything special happening tonight?

    I don't know.  I'd like to think there would be a respectful reference to the Queen.

     

    The only conversation I've had with DA regarding the Queen was at 4.30 this morning when I was told "don't go to the MCG, they've cancelled the live cross on Sunrise".

    All my group are.

    On the flip side I'd like to know how many MFC supporting MCC members are also members of the football club.

    Edit: I do know of 1, me. We're off the mark.

    Our crowds have been phenomenal this season, but I expect a low crowd tonight for a final. Reckon we'll struggle to get 60,000 there tonight.

    If we win, I'd expect 90,000 against the Cats next week though!

    Phenomenal? 
    don’t think I could name a single crowd that was phenomenal.

    our crowds are hugely inflated by having home games against Melbourne teams at the mcg.

    My app says partially sunny at 6pm then no rain. 
     

    To be fair it’s Melbourne. Could yet snow.

    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. 👏👏👏

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
