Agree, can't stand them.

Absolutely - he's not even taking contested marks at the moment which is the key point of difference in having him forward in the first place.

Yep same, my voice is pretty scratchy, my brother's wasn't much better and my sister was basically imploring the supporters to make some noise - our first final we've attended since 2018, reigning premiers, qualifying final and only a couple of occasions the crowd were up and about. It does my head in mainly because I just don't understand it.

Yep I've said it in the other thread, I thought the crowd was pathetic (where we were sitting anyway). There were a few of us trying to gee up the crowd but they were just sitting there like stunned mullets. No idea how to generate some atmosphere, you don't just cheer when a goal is kicked you cheer to rev the team up and create some energy, create some sense of hostility for the opposition. Melbourne supporters just sit there mute. Edit - It was a good turnout though, a touch under 80k is a great result I think.

The problem is our supporters sit there waiting to react to what is happening on the field. It's a final, chance at a prelim on the line - make some bloody noise for the team!! You don't have to sit there waiting to be wowed, create the atmosphere you want the players to feed off. Start of the last, 2 goals in it, all on the line - [censored] crickets.

Yes to all of these things!!

May did nothing, Buddy flopped the umpire got sucked in and both should be ashamed watching that on replay. Give me a spell.

I was there, southern stand wing. Sounded like a morgue.

Nah that's crap, Melbourne supporters sat on their hands all night, only a couple of goals in it early in the last and couldn't get a [censored] peep out of them. I hate to say it but we have one of the worst group of supporters in world sport. Kick off the tartan rugs and make some bloody noise, it was noticeable from the first bounce and didn't get better even when we got in front. It's embarassing.

They can get stuffed with all the academy free hits they get. Heeney, Mills, Blakey, Gulden who else? Stuff em.

Sydney had 11.4.70 from turnovers when I left with 3 minutes to go. 2 from stoppage. We had 5 or 6 from stoppage I think and only 2 or so from turnover.

Players played like rubbish. Supporters supported like rubbish. Felt like I was at a funeral it was that quiet.

Crowd felt very subdued that half. Gotta get loud Demons supporters!!!

Fire up Demons!!!

That you Caro? 🤣

Bit early for that mate jeez 🤣

Been looking forward to this for 3 months+. I think the players have too. Hope the crowd is loud tonight and drowns out any Swannies who show up.

Life must be excruciating for some...

Because 12 is twice as good as 6 😜

Hopefully doesn't effect us as much as it did for Geelong last September 🤣

Nah it just keeps this thread going til October 2024

🤣 Says who?

At least it wasn't a Tiger 😜

They should be fired up after the suggestion they were faux tough guys however with Rayner and Adams out and Dusty back as well as Zorko being Zorko I think the Tigers will have their measure. Would love to see Brisbane boot them out though.
