62k with 85-90% mfc representation

exceeded my expectation

Didn’t sound like those percentages, Mr say what…

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.

Was 80/85 % only Lions sound 3rd q late and all last quarter 

Dees 80% so 45/50,000 not bad roll up

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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
