We cannot expect our team to perform when the supporters arent either. Soon as the going gets tough our supporters disappear and start calling for Daniher's blood. Instead everyone should stop the finger pointing and get out and support the team. The lack of supporters in the game against Fremantle was a complete embarassment, it was only round 3 for goodness sakes and already everyone has run screaming in the opposite direction. Show some belief, odds on they will lose on Sunday so what, go and support them, scream, yell do what you have to do, just because their form is poor doesnt mean ours has to be as well.

Mate, I only travel to Melbourne to watch us play our fellow Victorian teams....

There is nothing better than staying here in Adelaide and going down to the pub in Alberton and drinking amongst the Port Adelaide filth! There is a certain adrenaline rush one gets when sitting amongst a bunch of dole-bludging, West End drinking Power supporters whilst wearing my beloved Red 'n Blue and enjoying an ice cold VB!!!

You can tell me I'm not a real suporter for not travelling, but I know the truth!! I pay my premium membership each and every year and travel to Melbourne when I'm not working but I can assure you that I will enjoy the match on Sunday regardless of whether we win or lose and I won't have to be at a silent MCG full of 25 Port supporters and a bunch of Melbourne fans with their hands under their bums to keep warm

....

Mate, i would think that most interstate supporters are excluded from this plea to Dees supporters.

Most of us would like to think that when the chips are down, the team looks to it's supporters for inspiration. If that IS the case than it's no wonder we lost to Freo. We need every able Melbourne supporter (bandwagon or not) to get down to the G this Sunday and help the boys get over the line. Neitz should be back this week and that will bring back half the leadership group of Melbourne, not to mention one of our best Full Forwards of all time.

I will be there, and i hope there'll be much more than 16,000 as well.

it was actually round 4, but agreed...

im always there

i need to get my frustrations out somehow

Most of us would like to think that when the chips are down, the team looks to it's supporters for inspiration.

I personally would like to think that when the chips are down the team looks deep within themselves and drags out whatever passion they have for the colours they wear and plays like a bunch of blokes willing to give 110% everytime they step onto the ground (that goes for training as well as games)

If the Melbourne players are looking to their supporters for inspiration, then it is no wonder we haven't won a flag for over 40 years!!

I will be there, and i hope there'll be much more than 16,000 as well.

Great to see you will be there supporting the boys through a tough time, but there will be no more than 19,000 there and 25% of them will be Port supporters.... So make sure you and the other Red 'n Blue Army folk make plenty of noise!

I am not being negative, just realistic

im at every Melbourne game besides the interstate ones( i have been to a few though) ill be there once again weather our team wins or loses ill be a true red and blue supporter till i die

GO DEES!!!!

I wish i could come on sunday and support the boys- but as being an interstate supporter i cant go, even though i have a desire to visit melbourne. But i support the boys any time i can. Although i could not go to the game last saturday due to not being very well, i at least listened and watched the game on TV.
