I am an MCC, MFC & Foundation Hero living in Medowie (check the map), let’s not ask about excuses for FFS

A worse turn out for us than the GWS match, considering Port had thousands more there. Dry and comfortable conditions. Not unexpected though. Better hope this club isn't headed for major doldrums again.

Worst. Thread. Ever.

So you can get stuck into our players but we can’t get stuck into our “supporters” who bail the minute things don’t go well?

Er, where have I got stuck into players?

I was there tonight, but don't think it is of use shaming those who weren't, as if it's some sort of simplistic measure of support. 

Your hyperbole is not unexpected 


I was there tonight, sat in the MCC, and thought it had a real finals-like atmosphere.

Sheffield Shield finals.

Really? All you’ve done the last few weeks is post one negative thing after the other about our club. 
 

How is it hyperbole to suggest getting less than 20,000 to a Saturday night match in perfect weather is embarrassing?

And nobody is shaming anyone. We’ve been thru this before, if you have a legitimate reason to not attend that’s fine. But there are plenty of who just simply didn’t attend and stopped attending because we aren’t playing great football. Watch them all come out of the woodworks when we play finals again.

I was there too, in the MFC reserved area on my lonesome. The regulars have really dropped off.

Cranbourne and Pakenham lines not running again fyi

not correct. I'm on that line.

they were running to Caulfield. change there onto the Frankston line to get to Richmond

I couldnt be arsed.

we watched What's Eating Gilbert Grape instead. considering the score line, I am going to presume the movie was far more entertaining.

Please go ahead and detail what is, and is not, an illegitimate and legitimate, for attending a game of football, that you are under absolutely no moral, contractual or financial obligation to attend? But I digress.
 

Thank you for displaying  conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, above and beyond the call of duty, in being a supporter to the Melbourne Football Club and attending. By your selfless commitment, leadership, and extraordinary devotion to duty as a fan of the MFC, you have not only reflected great credit upon yourself, but also upheld the highest traditions of the Melbourne Football Club. 
 

This act shall not be forgotten. 

I believe we had 16,000 GWS and just under 18,000 tonight. Great game…couldn’t fault our endeavour. Our supporters are renowned for coming out of the “woodwork”… if we were contenders …would have been heaps more !! End of the day ..glad I went …

Please find where I have got stuck into players? That's what you accused me of. Go on.

And who made you the police of legitimate reasons to attend?

Football is entertainment, we are not playing entertaining football. 

If you think this thread wasn't created to shame people who don't attend, then you've not been paying attention. It literally spells it out in the thread title FGS!

It's a dumb thread. Turning on people who barrack for the same club is dumb.

Such sensitive defensive posters in here, who also get stuck into posters for being sensitive and defensive about our players and our club. 
Oh the irony.

Just checking, am I permitted to attend the last game vs Collingwood? Thought I'd run it past you, as you're the arbitrator of attendance

TIA 🙏

BTW, still waiting for you to find where I have got stuck into one of our players

Its amazing to think the west coast game got 32k and our GWS+Port barely got that combined. 

Because our supporters don’t care for Saturday night games … it’s pretty obvious. We have an aging supporter base, yet to establish a new breed, and quite frankly Saturday nights are for TV. If you play a vidtorian team it’s a stock standard 40k

Just a lovely example of your posting right here 

Deadset if you don’t attend I don’t think the players will miss your “supporting”

Well spotted! A rarity I believe, despite those players being depth.

Still a [censored] thread

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
