a significant reason why we lost

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!!!

That is why i go to the Victory games in the summer!

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...

yeah that's so true ey! i've always said that but people just reckon it's cos i'm biassed. every tuesday should be wear your scarf to work day
