I was sitting in the olympic stand and did anyone happen to notice that the players run flat-chat to the interchange, it's the hardest they run at anything, it's as if they can't wait to get off!!!!

Would anyone agree with that?

Yes.

Fwiw, I think it was 60:40 Roos/MFC supporters. Talk of 75% Roos supporters is - IMHO - ridiculous.

    I was there in MCC members on my own until the end... 3rd game this season

    I don't know if i'm a glutton for punishment or what, but i love to be there for every minute of it and digest as much footy as I possibly can.

    It hurts yeah, but i can see where the guys are trying to do something they're still unfamiliar with, and knowing all teams go through this at some stage i just sit by and bide my time.

    I'm sick of idiot 'supporters' though that go and constantly moan throughout the game. I'm probably happier when the crowd is small like that so i don't have to listen to it.

    Our time will come and the grand old flag will fly proudly again.

    I applaud you all for going, but these threads make me furious, um, even more so. Blaming fans for the state of the club is not only counter productive but patently absurd. I know most of you haven't done this but it was clearly the doctors intention starting the thread.

    I can't get to every game and I'm sure many others with a life are in the same boat. Friday night and Saturday day games are impossible because of work and the odd Sunday away game I take the opportunity to get up the country and visit my parents and my brothers and their families. It's a heinous sin putting my carrer and family ahead of the footy club I know. I give this club plenty of dosh every year, I spend more on friggin raffle tickets than my membership, but if thats not good enough drdrake and astrodee maybe I should take my money and go, is that what you want?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • 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.
