I think Kate Roffey's comments are fair. Hate the pies but you can't deny their supporters are very vocal and get right behind their team on gameday.

Can't say you want to be like them after what happened to Angus, just don't mention that club!

I don’t want to be like them, cheer like them, go near them. I’d rather us be somewhat civil. We are also quite loud for our numbers in my opinion. Roffey and pert need to be careful. We don’t have generations of Centrelink recipients with nothing else to do but go to the football. We have supporters who have lives.

They turn on their own really quickly too...

I've heard many a choice word thrown, I guess that happens with all dimwitted supporters.

Just that they have more...

She’s right in saying that a loud crowd in our favour impacts how we play. And she’s right that Collingwood do it best. 

I’d argue that our crowds are louder than most give us credit for, but we can always do more. 

I read her comments as growing the membership so we can get bigger crowds along to the G. Don't think she was having a go at Dees supporters for not being noisy enough. maybe i misread.

this whole 'our fans don't cheer loudly enough' narrative needs to stop

It’s true though and it’s up to the fans to get louder. 

More noise wins more frees

But it's a bit hard when there are so many more of them than us.

I'll never forget the games against Geelong and Hawthorn a couple of years ago. The noise was unbelievable.

When Kate made the comments at the Season Launch there was an audible gasp until we all knew what she was actually getting at. At one nanno second I thought I had to lose my teeth and give up my day job.🤣

I can’t read the article coz paywall but if it’s quoting Kate’s Season Launch speech she absolutely meant growing our membership. She prefaced her mention of Collingwood with something along the lines of I don’t want this taken out of context so before anyone starts tweeting, I’d like our Club to be like Collingwood… She went on to talk about a bigger membership. At no point did she refer to us needing to make more noise.

Exactly, LSNM! We can be as loud as humanly possible but if we’re overwhelmingly outnumbered - which we always are vs the filthy thugs - it stands to reason they’re always gonna be louder.

We are loud, but what can you do if it 2-1.

It would stop if our crowds weren’t so quiet and depressing, full of anxiety, negative energy or lack of interest. 

I’m a pessimist when it comes to our chances most of the time but come game day I turn up to barrack. Most Melbourne supporters don’t.


Would have been better to say 'a loud crowd is good, but we don't want to end up like that bunch of screeching nuffies'.

Did anyone else notice the crowd at the Collingwood-Giants game in the final quarter?

F'ing beeeeyoootiful. Not a Collingwood jumper in sight.

I was just thinking to myself this morning that there are a lot of Magpie fans but they are actually as soft as tepid butter.

Public bragging and private begging, it is the Collingwood way.

It is time we all understood what that club's hierarchy has for decades; put your foot on them and they will squib.

Whilst we will always be outnumbered and less vocal than Coll/Carl types of teams I don’t think we’ve matched the same energy at games since 2018.

That year was special with the joy of crucial wins and finals for the first time in forever.

We were robbed of seeing a flag in 2021. And increasingly over the last 2 years our crowds have lacked that joy and intensity as much as noise.

We skipped the fun afterglow of a flag and as the team has struggled to score in many games you can feel the tension in the crowd.

Ya don’t say?! Why, I’ve never noticed it. 

To be more like C'wood means we'll have to find a Maynard to knock the daylights out of a top oppo player and then have the AFL do bugger-all about it.  I hope the first never happens, but if it did, the the second would not.

I sat on an aisle next to two bays of them at our final last year and I couldn’t be happier that we’re nothing like them.

Considering they have about 30k more supporters then ours then Roffey is completely out of her depths with reality. Of course Collingwood supporters would be loud.

Her comments are a kick in the guts for demon army and loyal supporters who are there weekly cheering all the time.

Just remember they are the filth.

Okay let's all punch are own teeth out....seriously I don't care how loud they get. We.are.nothing.like.them.

I think maybe when we get back to playing decent football on a regular basis one may hear our voices rise in volume again, yes we don't want to be anything like them at all 

I’m as loud and one eyed at the footy as any Pies fan, and there are certainly some Demons fans who could afford to be louder and more demonstrative when the whips are cracking 

But this narrative from Roffey and Pert that we need to be louder - even if it’s not their intention - is a bit of a kick in the guts to Demons fans who are paying their hard earned to rock up each week 

At the end of the day people can support the club however they choose. Further - without wanting to put down our players - it’s hard to get loud when we’ve kicked 6 straight behinds and then the opposition waltzes down the other end of the field and kicks a goal to knock us out of finals…

Win finals and our membership will grow, play exciting football and fans will cheer louder than ever

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
