    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.

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

    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

    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: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
