I don't watch a lot of other games Binman and to be honest I don't care what other teams members think or do. I care about winning winnable games. Playing the top team on KB is one I think we will have trouble wining but the Blues this weekend is one we should win. If we don't I will be really annoyed.

That is the point we didn't and to be honest watching the game it did not seem we would win either

They are going to give us a torrid night. If their forwards get accurate they win

Kev what was this photo about?

Miracles do happen even if rarely.

Frankie that is never going to change and we just have to accept that the majority of MFC supporters are way too polite. For better or worse we are stuck with that problem.

Then we are doomed to never win a gf at the G. The other team will always have more vocal supporters. Seems like playing gf’s away from the G is not a bad idea. On top of that a number of clubs have their home ground at the G. Melb vs Pies will always have more vocal supporters than us. Probably accounts for why they beat us there on a regular basis. I have thought for some time playing at the G has no big advantage for us. As spectators is just easier to get in and get a seat most weeks.

I hope you are correct.

Very generous!

Was that from the players?

I never thought you were . I See MFC supporters as way different to most other clubs and sadly I don't think that will change any time soon.

We probably lost money with that crowd at the G. Small profit at movie park.

It will look ok on Friday night, 20k blues + 20k demons = 40k.

The G is not good when there is a small crowd that is spread out. That game with 25k in the enclosed confines of AFL park ( I know that is not the name) would have sounded way better. While we all hate it games against gws, Freo, wce should be played there. 25 - 30k attendance works better than at the G. We simply don't have enough mad fans to play those games at the G. It's one of the reasons I think this preoccupation to have a home near the G is silly. It doesn't mean anything to the average fan just the fanatics and we don't have many of them.

Then I am incorrect it would seem. I never played any sport In front of a big crowd ( not good enough ) while games could be close and very willing I seldom heard anything outside of the field even when there was a small vocal crowd. Too busy trying to get a kick and win. Funny last Saturday I knew it would be a low number crowd it's what MFC do we are not locked into footy like other clubs. I put it down to decades of poor performance.

History shows you it is very difficult.

Do you really believe the last line layzie? Seems to me they play because they love it and want to win. Does it really matter if there are 25 or 40k supporters there? I doubt 40 K Dee supporters make much more noise than 25.

I went to more games than I do now. Funny things humans. I agree we knew we would lose. Most games were over at quarter time. Low expections so low disappointment. Now big expectations and big disappointment.

I went to more games when we were absolutely [censored] not that long ago than I do now. Part of that is the advancing year problems / night games. But after winning the flag my level of enthusiasm has reduced. I am weighing up going next Friday night. It will have to be by car no chance by train because they stab you out this way. Now we have a decent side there is a part of me that says the team don't need me there any longer.

Yep you are dreaming

Pies as usual getting a great umpire run what was the last free for?

If it was melbourne playing we would be North.

The pies have won today because they can kick goals and north cannot. Far from outclassed. Give us Larkey and we win the flag.

I have only an entry level membership so even if we made the GF I would not get in DZ watching on TV is the same anywhere. You are lucky if you are wildly optimist I prefer to think I am a realist.

They are a very good side wait till you see what happens to us on KB.
