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?

We'll have the reigning Premier's gold AFL logo on our guernsey for 2022. shut up and take my money

This coupled with TRAC'S EYES working back to the centre after that goal. It's the moment of the game for me.

Very very scared of Dogs. However I think we match them in most places and are ahead in the ruck.

how good is Whateley

This is an absurd haul

Na I reckon he'll be alright

Yeah, that's what i'm saying. Good stuff mate, Good on ya.

neither of those sides are on top of the ladder

we're the top side on the ladder and we had 16k there. Made no noise for 3 quarters. Congratulations on seeing it all

Mark Williams was literally asking the crowd to make noise at 3 qtr time. If you could've come and you didn't, you have no grounds to criticise. All the best.

Looking forward to 5-6 years of 'will Luke Jackson go back to WA' talk.

Awesome VFL player.

This is fun to read now.

maybe read it....

Na he's alright good on him.
