I took my partner, my kids and a friend to the MCC members in 22 when we narrowly lost. The rancid, humourless abuse we and others copped including “sit down you stupid c..t” delivered to my partner means I’m unlikely to go. Just can’t be bothered, I love friendly banter at the footy but it’s becoming more and more abusive as the years go by. Sheesh, I sound old!

    I usually don't have a problem with other supporters (in MCC) other than at filth matches.

    I occasionally have pleasant conversations with opposition supporters ...

    I honestly can’t shake the feeling of trepidation for tonight’s game, being at that final with Gus out cold and Oliver rolling him over followed by mass Filth cheering and chanting was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at the footy. I thought I was past it but as the game gets nearer, 😣

    I hope the team can turn the tide on this one. Smash the filth!

    Spotify on DubDee this is a point that those that suggest footy as being just a business really need to wrap their head around it alot better.

    Sure there are some business principles that need to be applied to make sure the books ballance, but it's a 'business model' built on people's passion and loyalty - stuff around with that too much and they might find their revenue streams evaporating.

    I do have to say that the way that the best seats at the MCG are sold for our home games to the exclusion or regular MFC members is something that's seen my enthusiasm wane, particularly thus past half season when we have started loosing again as well, as have the cold late night game timeslot that's great for the TV business, but not for me.

     

    Back on the ANB aspect, I do think that if players are going to request trades like this and/or be militant about it, then the club's should have better mechanisms to claw back player payments etc retrospectively.  There needs to be a better disincentive for the players to demand breaking contracts.  But as I've stated elsewhere, in the case of ANB, I think he owes us nothing and helped deliver a flag for us.  And he's going home, not demanding a move to the Magpies, Hawks or Lions for more money or other opportunities.  I think the club gets better rep and ability to attract and retain good players, by treating the ones we have well, reasonably and fairly.

    Being at the G watching us beat the umpire assisted premiers of 2023, surrounded by black and white feral supporters (both at the game and on the train)… priceless. GO DEES

    I am sure if you came, you can come sit in the members bays and you won't have to deal with it. There are plenty of empty seats always in M50-M52

    I report anyone in black and white who attempts to walk into our section straight to the MCC security and have them removed. Yes I am that level of petty! 

    I won't go to away games against them anymore, except finals. 
    I should have made that call a few years ago when I had to report one of their supporters for racially abusing Jetta, but the Gus incident last year was the final straw.

    Sure, love the footy. But drop the idea of owning the lives of a bunch of 28 year olds who really don’t owe you anything

    Owning the lives of 28yos?

    I just said I wanted him to stay and see out his contract he signed  

    There would be many blokes on the list that are sacrificing family over footy. Alex chose to leave when he secured a deal in SA and that’s ok. But it’s also ok to acknowledge the others who choose MFC and to point out the fact he could have stayed.

    Mate, if he was an accountant at KPMG, and had a young family and chose to go back to Adelaide to work for PwC, do you reckon anyone would say he owes KPMG because they paid him to do his job for 10 years?

    Of course not. Why do people think it’s different just because these people are footballers?

    One of the more ridiculous takes on here.

    ANB is not walking out on us, he is looking after his family who need him more than Melbourne. He is doing the right thing by his family and the club and is an absolute champion.

    I'd hate to break this to you because he is a champion and he is doing the right thing but he is indeed walking out on the club. No matter how much of a good bloke and genuine guy he is, it doesn't change the fact is that he's opting out on his contract signed last year to be somewhere else.

    Good man, great morals but is choosing to leave.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
