    It should have been a day game, and the Essendon game under the roof a night game.  Or the Q clash.   Terrible schedule from the AFL. The weather report said likely hail.

     

    But we were there. I drove from Shepparton

    Severe mental illness and not earning enough money will do it. 
     

    Happy you’re able to go but some of us struggle every day just to survive.

    I couldn’t get out of the house. Somebody glued my doors and windows shut.

    Buy a membership every year for me and my daughter, live In Ballarat, but never attend night matches. Daughter not interested in footy, so it’s a donation.

    Not only do I not need an excuse not to go to a game, I certainly don’t need to explain to you why I didn’t.

    Ps. We won a Grand Final with bugger all loyal MFC supporters there. Tonight’s loss was due to numerous factors, the sparse crowd was not one of them.

    If you don't think a crowd of 40k screaming Melb fans wouldn't have an impact. It says more about you.

    So you think 40k fans would have meant we didn't go 8-0 in centre bounce clearences in the last quarter??

    Or maybe 40k fans would have meant Tom McDonald doesn't get outmarked twice by Hogan in thr last quarter which results in goals?

    Right.

    I live 800kms from the MCG but I understand why some choose not to go. But under 20k was a shock to see.

    I think your logic is sadly askew.

    Didn’t GWS win the game with even less supporters present ?

    And you know what you can do with your whimpy vomit emoji !

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
