Another embarrassing turn out on a perfect night for footy.

    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.

    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.

    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

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
