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?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
