16000 supporters at the mcg.

what a disgrace.

having a big crowd makes such a big difference. not only does it have a significant effect on umpiring decisions, but if a player hears the roar of a massive crowd, it definitely lifts his performance and adrenalin levels.

i love the demons, but sometimes i with i supported a club like adelaide which has atleast 40,000 people turn up and scream for their team every week.

it really does make a difference.

obviosuly we can't just pull 40000 members out of nowhere, however i know that there are more than 16000 melbourne fans who could have made it to the mcg on a sunday arvo for 4 hours on a nice sunny day. shame on those who could have been there and weren't, because your presence could have meant the demons winning.

    I will no doubt get shot down but yesterday was amazing...

    You would have thought there was double that with the noise generated during the game, the standing ovation and cheering on at half time, three quarter time and even after the game...

    there was as much passion in the stands yesterday as there has been all year - whether it was the desperation of needing a win, the determination and effort of all the players or both, it was a day that made me remember why I support the Melbourne Football Club...

    we are not far off getting a win - this was evident from sunday!!!

    i'd have to agree. the supporters really got behind the boys, and i don't think we've ever cheered them off louder after a loss. everyone in the crowd knew that they had a red hot crack, just a shame they didn't have more voices to show their appreciation. we should have a 'bring two mates to the footy day'. we should all make sure we wear dees stuff around town. sick of seeing all these pies scarfs all around town. it's half the reason they all go, because they feel like everyone else will go

    interesting on the pies scarfs. what ive noticed is that the only stickers i ever see on cars are melbourne. if you were new to the city you would think everyone barracked for us...

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
