  1. Obviously there are very real reasons why people can’t get to games. If you live interstate or have to drive hours each way, you have kids etc. Mental illness or financial reasons, your own personal health is paramount and following melb probably isn’t ideal for both mental and physical. I posted this thread to ask the regulars that live in melbourne who make up most the 40k local melb members. If this thread has annoyed you good.
  2. If you don't think a crowd of 40k screaming Melb fans wouldn't have an impact. It says more about you.
  3. If we lose to GWS by 2pts at the G and no one is there does it count?
  4. Where was everyone? 16k crowd is pathetic. Maybe we’d get a few more free kicks if the ones whinging on this forum had the nurries to turn up and support the club.
  5. Wouldn't want any of them currently except Bedford.
  6. Good on you!
  7. 16k at a Saturday Prime Time Home game. I was there. If you weren’t whats your excuse? Want other clubs to respect us and stop saying we don’t turn up? Get off your [censored] and stick fat!
  8. Its alright mate. I understand it’s abit tough for you.
  9. OUR SUPPORTER BASE IS WEAK AS [censored]. 16k crowd announcement is staff included. If you didn’t go tonight its because you probably signed up in the middle of may 2021z
  10. King Stingray would be a good local band to have play. They have an aboriginal front man āœ”ļø Three decent bangers and would get the crowd pumping. Could easily get the to play a few famous AFL covers.
  11. He might actually benefit from playing in a better standard? a lot of players look better when the game is cleaner and faster opposed to the congested [censored] fight the VFL is these days.
  12. Unfortunately Bowey is one of Goodwin’s untouchables just like Sparrow. I thought Bowey was better this week. Sparrow is just getting caught in no man’s land too often. He could use a week at Casey to fill his boots as the main man and get some Confidence back, but Goodwin must not rate the standard of the VFL at all. Refuses to bring anyone back through it who he sees as starting 18.
  13. Apologise to Fullarton? The coach doesn’t have to be liked by every player. I think what he said is spot on, everyone complains he gives nothing. He stated a fact. if he said Verrell was more likely to play than Fullerton as ruck maybe you’d have a case.
  14. Salem. Whats happened to him? Looks disinterested and has next to no impact on games. Lots of sideways kicking. Has the game gone past him? He has too much class to fade into mediocrity. How do you think we can use him better?
  15. Anyone who went in thinking we could win this didn’t take the following into account. This team is young. Last week the average age of the team on the field was less than Essendon’s and they’re rebuilding. We’ve been up for a month in terms of consistency of effort. Thats hard for young players to maintain. Freo Pumped us in Alice and we had Gawn & Max.
  16. Couldn't disagree more. Viney could easily be used as a forward. He is a better kick for goal than he gets credit for. He applies pressure and tackles like a beast and can take a mark.
  17. No Listed Ruckman. What an absolute disgrace. For a club that has a Ruckman (as captain) to not even replace him is an embarrassment.
  18. Cmon mate. They aren’t trading Sparrow, he’s not having a good year, but they’re playing him on a wing and as a High Half fwd when he is an inside mid. Give Laurie more than 1 or 2 games and see if he can show something, he plays in the midfield at Casey have a look at him at AFL in the middle. Set and forget Woewoden in the 22. Agree with BBB Shache šŸ¤ You can call me crazy, but if the right deal came along and we could trade Salem for a high end pick/s and then use that to get a genuine B+ to A grade midfielder. I’d do it in a heart beat. I love him, but he is injury prone and slow, great skills and is tougher than he looks but unless he can consistently start to show his 2021 form he is just another half back. Apart from our forward like licking windows for 2 years, if we don’t try and replace Brayshaw we could have Carey Ablett and Farmer up forward and we’d still be [censored]. I’d also be paying out Stafford and getting an actual Forward line coach.
  19. It’ll be a lot easier to get a beer in the Redlegs now that the banwagon supporters will drop off.
  20. That’s the result of using ANB as a tagger/playing him as a starting centre bounce midfielder. It’s the flow on effect from the Brayshaw retirement.
  21. I know his skills aren’t great but neither were Hunts. AMW has pace. Have a look at him. He may be better in an better standard.
  22. I’m sorry about your dad. Yeah we all watched on TV (those who lived in Victoria and were locked in by Dictator Dan). AFL clubs are like family. You don’t get to pick them, like your friends. I was saying to a mate on the phone post game. We should have known that even when Melb were having their best era of 50+ years they’d still manage to torture us. It won’t stop me going and suffering through though.
  23. I’d suggest when the hard times come, not many show up.
  24. If you can’t sit through the hard times, you don’t deserve to jump on for the good ones.
  25. Watching the replay you can’t even hear our ā€œsupporterā€ base boo maynard. We may genuinely get under 15k to the north game.
