I would go every week win or lose!! Even if it hurts.

And the fact i cant go makes me want 2 go ever week more and more

People say the can accept losing i cant hurts more and more each week and i believe we can fix what happened this week and all takes is danners to pick up the lazy players and slap them in the face and then do 1 to himself!!

    The game was that bad that I had to leave at half time!

    I felt really sad about it cause its the first time I had ever done that. :unsure:

    You could have missed the greatest goal/mark etc ever to be taken in the red and blue.

    It's always worth sticking around IMO, even if it's just to watch closely a player you rate highly/don't rate at all and see how he goes.

    wow, the fickle supporter tag does permeate into these boards, i didn't think anyone here wasn't passionate enough to attend for the sake of supporting the boys, even if it hurts to watch

    ill support them when they come to play, but they showed no respect to us, the club or themselves, so on that basis i had no qualms on walking. 9/10 ill sit through a shlacking, but i can't tolerate it when i feel i care more than they do.

    friday didn't hurt for me like other games have, it infuriated me and saw me come close to bursting an artery.

    i meant people saying they won't bother next week, weeks to come etc. it is times like this that our most passionate supporters stay tough, because if we don't the average dees 'snow bunny' has no chance, and our standing in the media and the football world will deteriorate even further.

    i personally don't leave early, but can udnerstand why people do, and it's fair enough if you feel let down by what the players provide for you, but if you don't go every week through whatever, you miss wins like the crows game, or the tigers, blues in 97

    Well I had a prior commitment so I didnt get to the game until half time and I met a lot of Melbourne supporters on my way to the ground. I do not applaude you leaving at half time, we have been losing by worse margins than Friday night at half time and I have stuck around to watch that train wreck I do not understand the point of leaving nor do I condone it

    I have supported this club for too long not to expect performances like what was dished up on friday evening...

    There was a sense all week that Richmond was a chance but looked at match ups and thought we looked pretty good...

    However, you cannot beat spirit and passion - something which our players played without!!

    there was no pride in their performance whatsoever...

    The second quarter was possibly the worst quarter of football that a demon team has played in a long long time!! no manning up, kicking over players heads, no hard running, no clearances, lack of hard ball gets...

    where has the team of 2004, 2005, 2006 gone???

    i stayed for the entire game and supported, some with sarcasm and some with passion - such as matthew bate's continuing good form!!

    seriously though, as soon as we stop accepting mediocrity and tripe that was dished up on friday evening and demanding performances week in week out such as those against adelaide and the filth, then we will be a better club!!

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
