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

    To all the members, supporters and fans that went to the G and gave it to Maynard…….. thanks.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
