ok they are, but the all the melbourne supporters I knew growing up fit right into the 'gone to the snow' private school stereotype. I know they're not all like that, but I never felt them on the saints, footscray, north level
The irony is the Dees fans I know are just normal people, one is a lawyer but a nice one though. If you see their fan base at games it looks lower socio economic. I know two Dogs fans that are millionaires and the other richest people I know follow the Hawks and Saints. The idea that Dees fans are rich establishment was Eddie and Sam on the footy show deciding that the MCC members were all Melbourne supporters.

More to do with their MCC connection and how many would turn up to watch them in the members stand.

I feel his pain, nothing worse that feeling like the floor fell out of the club again. Sad that his name contains his obvious favourite player that ran off on him, sad that the general vibe of their forum reminds me of here last year and sad that they look a long way off again. I'm usually a massive campaigner and like schadenfreude more than most, I must be getting soft with age.
They will bounce back by next season. Too many good players to keep playing like this.
I'm enjoying the last few months of them being crap while I can.
