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: 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
