We've ditched plastic cards in no small part due to sustainability but you want to give out thousands of plastic novelties each game?

    On some occasions such as the Fed Square pre-QB match celebration and the open training at Gosch’s before our QF, Zurich were handing out flags and mini-figure key rings and plastic beakers.
    My guess is that it’s not done at the ground anymore because much of this free stuff is left after the match and ends up as rubbish.

    I go to the football to watch the football, not to receive little trinkets of garbage.

    Little trinkets of garbage are so related to many of our third and fourth quarters, this season. They (the trinkets) might have been quite appropriate and at the same time, condescending. it would also be of some early value to receive little trinkets of garbage in that scenario early - just before game time - as an indicator and pacifier of what was about to come onfield.

    That is a declaration that you don't go to games when the Filth is playing. Neither do I, for similar reasons.

    And while we’re at it:

    • The IT department have also been silent. I’d be very suspicious.
    • HR need to have a good long look at themselves. Employees punching up in Prahran is really not on. Who's running HR down there?
    • Building Services is crap. The toilets were disgusting at 11pm on Friday.
    • Sales also need to look in the mirror. Only a 14 percent increase in membership after a flag leaves a lot to be desired.
    • And as for the engineering department . . . don't get me started on Goody - that's all I can say.

    Really and truly . . . what the hell is going on Pertie?

    Anyway, the last time I engaged in such behaviour the object sprung a leak and I had to buy a new mattress.

    it's funny that i made mention of the thunderclap sticks and suddenly that's become the basis for the whole thread. There is more to it than 'trinkets', but I guess i'll leave it there. The are many ways to create extra hype for games and drag a few new supporters in, maybe some neutrals too. We were given prime time on many Fridays and Saturdays, but did nothing with them. There was barely any atmosphere at all. People will say it should be organic, but many of our marquee slots were against interstate teams. As such, the atmosphere was dull. To whoever mentioned the Demon Spirit merch range, that's AFL arranged not club.

    I'm not sure this is a marketing issue but my feeling is that who we are trying to get on board as members might be part of this issue.

    I remember when PJ was in charge, he was very big on 3 areas of conversion: new arrivals to Melbourne from interstate, the international student market/Chinese migrant community and the Casey area which CS had been cultivating.

    When we made finals in '18, a lot of the faces in the crowd weren't necessarily people you would automatically expect to be Melbourne supporters. There were heaps of non-Anglo people in the crowd along with lots of converts from the market PJ had been targeting. There was not one complaint about us being timid back then. If anything, our crowd support in those two finals got us over the line. It wasn't quite Collingwood or Richmond levels of passion but we were very vocal. Listen to the reaction to Mitch Hannan's goal and tell me otherwise.

    While presiding over a premiership isn't anything to sneeze at, I've heard Perty mostly focusing on convincing former members to come back and supporters who aren't members to get on board when he has been talking about growing the club. There is potential out there to grow it that way but it's limited potential.

    We have done well in embracing modernity as of late. I reckon PJ's strategy was better and will generate more passionate crowds.

    Aren't you going to defend the inference that you have a "giant head" WCW?

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
