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.

Those bloody train lines must be down on a Saturday night 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

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.

Sheffield Shield finals. 

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

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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
