Thanks Lucy, got a phone call from the Club this afternoon. They needed to verify a couple of things but a ticket into the ground is on the way.

    Our crowd for Carlton was pathetic again. 

    Under 50,000. Our home game. Carlton outnumbered us easily again even though they're a lost cause. 

    We better show up on Monday.

    I’ve got a spare ticket if anyone wants it. I’m going MCC as a guest for the game but have a demon seats membership level 1 if anyone wants it.

    No they didn’t, it wasn’t even close. 
    50k was perfectly acceptable on a cold Friday night with two teams in [censored] form. (12k above our average against Carlton since 1997) Our fan base is very quiet as always but the entire northern stand was red, it just doesn’t seem that way on tv.

    Constantly being told to show up to games is becoming tiresome, especially from someone who’s currently in Europe.

    I think you’ll find he’s a very regular attendee of games. People are allowed to go away and still want others to front up.

    Fair enough. 

    Looked and sounded very pro Carlton. But I understand you were there. 

    Just hope we show up on Monday, as we know Collingwood will.

    Pies have 5 times as many supporters as what we have.  Maybe more

    I've lived in Melbourne my whole life and there are Pie fans everywhere.  Demon fans are scarce and I rarely come across them other than when I'm at our games

    They will obviously outnumber our supporters

    Most of our supporters are members but Collingwood have hundreds of thousands of fans who aren't members (in my opinion)

    If we can get about 35k of our own supporters at the game with the Pies supplying 55k, we'll have done exceptionally well on a pro-rata basis

    And with Sidebottom & De Goey out, it's advantage Demons

    Defence based with a return to our 2021 method.  Do that and we'll have a more potent offence

    It's the language used. Think about the way this guy talks. Better turn up! Pathetic!  No need to be such a drama merchant. We get what he means, again, again and again. 

     

    Reality is that 50K on a freezing Fri night is not Pathetic.   Just an on line alarmist who wants to be heard. The more likely scenario is that the poster merely wants others to reply and ask if he was there or not to which he can reply with a wry grin that he is abroad. I actually think that is a more apt definition of pathetic than having a crack at a 50K D crowd.

    Wanting others to show up to matches while you’re on the other side of the planet is one thing. Complaining about our attendance numbers (calling them “pathetic”) and ending your post with “we (sic) better show up on Monday” is another thing entirely.

    Besides, Carlton have way more members/fans than we do. Collingwood, more so. No one should be expecting us to match Collingwood in size and noise level. That’s not gonna happen.

    I’m going to go on the off chance we win comfortably and if we do I’m starting a Meeeeeelbourne chant just to stick it up ‘em.

    I don't know how many times I need to say this but Friday night fixtures don't draw the way they used to after COVID.
    There just aren't the numbers in the CBD. So the typical knock off drinks then on to the Gee aren't happening.

    You say that Carlton outnumbered us, what did you do, count them?

    Mrs Dw and I werent there and I dont need to explain why to you. Frankly, I'm a bit sick of judgemental ........ people, like you ( funny coming from someone with a high horse).

    Before you feel compelled to reply /defend yourself, think on this;  

    A lot of our members prior to 2020 were over 50 and if you took a straw poll on this site (maybe something Andy has done) you would find that to be true, and they're the tech savvy ones. Those same people are now 3 yrs older and find a 750 start on a Friday night harder to get to. Some of those same people find it tough to take 2 or more hrs to get home and then there is the safety aspect. It's why I've started staying overnight more. With that comes more cost.

    Our membership numbers have risen a lot over the last few years. I know of many members who buy a membership for all our home games knowing that they may not be able to attend any/ few games but want to support the team financially. So here is an idea; keep your shoot from the hip comments somewhere they don't offend.

    The problem we have had against Collingwood in the past is that most of level 1 ends up being reserved seating and for whatever reason the sound from level 1 sounds best at the ground and is also closest to the broadcasters microphones, so it has always sounded far more pro Collingwood.

    this year we have an additional 4 bays of Melbourne only reserved seating on level 1 and these seats were snapped up within three days of being put on sale. There is this misconception by pessimist like Old Dee that there are going to be 70,000 Collingwood supporters on Monday and 15,000 of us.   This is [censored]. We have approx 13k reserved seating areas which will be full, the MCC will be 75% Melbourne (approx 16k) plus around 30% of reserved seating will be bought by us (aligned with Anzac eve). This excludes the minimal support we have in the afl reserve and the small amount of GA areas that people have purchased tickets to. 

    by my reckoning there will be at least 35k Melbourne support on the day hopefully judging 40k. Yes there will still be more of them and they are a hell of a lot louder, but we will still turn up. We haven’t had a QB home game at the g for 5 years too.

    It's quite incredible how our own supporters fall-in to the ridiculous narrative that we don't turn up for games

    I'd like to know where all these supporters who don't go to games are?  I don't know any Demon fan who doesn't attend games

    Seriously, the city of Melbourne is full of supporters of the big 4 clubs (Pies, Tigers, Bombers & Blues)

    It's a total myth that there are thousands of Demon fans that are fair-weather.  It's total BS.  Rot.

    And the ratio of members who attend games is about the same percentage for all clubs

    Again, the Pies have 5 times as many supporters as what we have ... they are everywhere.

    So they (by rights) should outnumber us 5 to 1 at our clashes.  But that never happens ... it's more like 2-1

    We’ll be there, win or lose. But yeah, if we win, that chant will cop a hiding!

    It’d be awesome after last year’s insufferable train ride home, me and maybe four other Dees supporters crammed into a carriage full of black n white Neanderthals doing that chant the whole time. 🤮

    Of course Collingwood supporters will outnumber us on Monday, but its quality not quantity that counts.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
