We all jump on this site and give our opinions, but today 23,000 people attended a game between two Victorian clubs, IMO 75% North Melbourne supporters so I would love to know which posters on this site attend todays game. Because if you didn't you let the club down just as much as the players.

Statements like this really [censored] me off!!!

I am a top level member and have been for the past 10 years!

I also donate an extra $1,000 to the club every year on top of my membership fees!

I have lived in Adelaide for the past 5 years and have travelled to Melbourne at every opportunity to see my beloved Demons play!

I will be the first one to stand up and say I was not there!

You sit back and tell me that I have let the club down?!?!?!

**** YOU!!

I ask for nothing in return for what I give to the club!

Only the pride in knowing that on the day that we win the flag we have all been waiting for, I will be able to celebrate with a few beers and feel content in the fact that I have done my little bit to help us on the journey!

I spend countless hours each and every week as team manager of my local football club, as well as all day Saturday.... Trying to bring the best out of the young men who one day dream of playing in the AFL....

I am so jealous of the people back home in Melbourne who have the opportunity every week to watch Melbourne play!

I miss it so F***ing much it hurts!

That is the whole reason I post on this site!

To feel at home again!

I am a proud Victorian and a loyal Melbourne member till I die!

I am also a proud DemonLand poster who didn't attend the North Melbourne game!

.......End of rant.......

I'm a proud melbourne supporter who lived in melbourne for 21 years & was at every mfc game i could possibly attend (worked lots of weekends), including most of the games at geelong. in a sad way i wish i could be attending these games now because i always believed in flying the flag, just being there to add bit of red & blue (& barracking) to the crowd & always using my experience & attitude to debunk the stereotype. so that people who were so unoriginal to go the "snow & range rovers" line could say "but we know dreamin' man & he's knowledgeable & loyal & fantatical."

relocated last year & am trying to do my bit from afar.

i) am holding my head high in the face of much hilarity about the club; ii) have paid about $350 for my usual afl melbourne club support for which i'll get 0 value; & iii) have encouraged/shamed a couple of "typically" blase melbourne supporters into joining because of the dire circumstances.

also keep reminding locals that, in the words of melbourne supporter rob sitch, "we threw this party, everyone else is just guests".

hope you can understand the frustrations & efforts of those unable to be at games. no lack of loyalty!

I think this thread is more-so directed at people who could have attended today's game because they live in Melbourne, but didn't.

23,000 is a shocking crowd for two Melbourne teams. I blame it on Roos supporters though. They've been travelling decently. They would be very disappointed in that number.

And I laugh at them if they sincerely believe they have 30,000 and all of which are actually Roos supporters. I know 6 people who bought memberships who are either Richmond or Melbourne members, but bought one to keep them in Melbourne. They won't buy one next year. I'm confident the Roos membership will go down to 23k or thereabouts next year. And I think they'll move in 5 years to West Sydney.

Not half as disappointed as we should be. The vast majority of the crowd were in blue and white.

As I was riding to the ground, P.McNamee was on ABC Grandstand banging on about the 'heartland' support for an 'iconic' club.

When I arrived, I saw that virtually none of these heartland iconographers had bothered to attend.

What are you gonna do? Nobody wants to watch cr*p football.

With good reason.

The old 'I did X and anybody who didn't is inferior' is a juvenile bit of self-aggrandisement.

Ironically, this feeble effort can only produce an effect contrary to drdrake's intent.

drdrake: you sir, are a loser.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
