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

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
