Faded out again.

Apart from finding a way to get in front of camera hugging everyone whenever we win, the current President and CEO haven't done much yet...

Geelong and Sydney are very beatable. We legitimately gifted away a flag this year. We have the best list with the worst coach. Same loss for the last 4 months.

Very sad we lost but this is very embarrassing for you

He's no good.

So we're cooked but we have to play Brisbane THEN Geelong! GOOD STUFF.

I hate them soo much, awful winners. Awful people.

Just hopping on to be an early post in a 7000 comment thread

We'll see.

The word is he's gone folks. Lobb keen for trade because his mgmt know Jackson is incoming.

My big worry if he goes is that Melbourne will do the honourable thing and respect his wishes then settle for an ok deal. They REALLY have to scorch Freo on this. Impede them from getting better in the next few years.

Probably doesn't help melbourne's argument to stay that Luke's experience of Melbourne is training one day at casey, one day at AAMI park, one day at Port Melbourne. We don't have a very appealing infrastructure.

We're loading for sure. 3 consecutive weeks of running out of legs.

Our team is great, our fan base is one of the worst lol

Im confused. Is this in reaction to Christian Petracca being disappointed in no fans turning up...?

Enjoy Petracca being upset that nobody is turning up Here

I genuinely believe that after a long time of being let down Melbourne fans only make noise to Jeer. The loudest points last night was a Melbourne player doing something bad. We've all sat near some nut case who is still saying negative stuff after a flag. Roos was right on the veil of negativity. My only hope is a run of good years brings in new optimistic fans and we leave this generation and this way of supporting Melbourne at home where they prefer to watch.

Na actually 32k isn't bad at all because when you take into account the fact is was the inconvenient time of a Saturday night, and factor in that it wasn't raining and also the fall in crypto prices it's actually to be expected. It's not like we're the reigning premiers getting out-cheered two weeks in a row by interstate teams. this is all to be expected and not embarrassing at all.

29k pretty embarrassing lol

I remember in 2020 when we were after him whilst everyone else was after Joe Daniher. He really opened up our team's potential and above all else he's a really good bloke. So wrapped he's a Dee.

In this thread people often reply with their own particular circumstances and story about why they don't attend. That's fine. However, I don't think anyone can firmly dispute that the Melbourne fanbase aren't showing up on big numbers and it's fair to assume that a premiership side would be getting better numbers than they are. If we're being honest it's a bit embarrassing. However, we're the premiers, aflw runners up, we have a record membership and incredible team so life's pretty good.

lots of moving of goal posts from people on here. It's not important because of tv ratings, bad time slots. etc bottom line is low attendance at the MCG costs the club lots of money. All good if you are still worried about covid, that's fair I think. But overall I think we all know that lots of our fans just don't turn up, and we're discovering that even a premiership won't make them.

my favourite guernsey so far. Love how bold it is. Going to absolutely pop on the field.

At the G AFL clubs start to make lots of profit once they get past around 30k attendance but if you go under that it costs the club quite a bit.

anyone know if this will be streamed anywhere?
