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.

MCC expecting 60k tonight. 

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.

So far it’s sunny and bloody warm. No excuse not to turn up. 

Latest forecast says a shower around 6 pm and that’s it for the night!

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

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

radar would agree with the 6pm approx shower 

 

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. 👏👏👏

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
