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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
