Thanks!

If true, that is woeful.

Just as bad as last year, in terms of sunday games.

I still hold hold hope that we'll get a friday night home game.

Well While every one winges I for one will be attending every game at the G next year it will be my mission to anyway. i will also be at the Gp as you pay to go in and you are allowed to leave why not throw in a game of footy to break things up. I am just a new supporter of the Dee's and I am sorry about my next statement but people here complain so much. If all the effort spent complaining about how hard done by we are was spent on going to games getting new supporters it would be amazing. As I have stated before I am new to supporting the club but I have already got 3 mates from NSW buying memberships for next year.

If that is indeed our home schedule, then I'm happy all of our home games are at the G bar the one we [censored] off to Canberra. I'd imagine Demonland would have gone into meltdown had we been given two or three Telstra Dome home games like we used to cop. I'd take the G at 3am on a Tuesday over Friday night at the Dome.

Good point, i am just more concerned about attendance. But i guess the ball is in the court of the football club here. if we play well people will turn up to watch. Simple.

Doubting Thomas.

Try this on for size - home games:

Round 1 vs. North at G (Sun 1pm);

R5 vs. Crows at G (Sun 4.40pm);

R6 vs. Geelong at G (Sun 2pm);

R8 vs. Dogs at G (Sat 2pm);

R11 vs. Pies at G (Mon 2pm);

R14 vs. Eagles at G (Sat 2pm);

R15 vs. Port at G (Sun 2pm);

R17 vs. Swans at Manuka (Sun 1pm);

R18 vs. Tigers at G (Sun 1pm);

R20 vs. Freo at G (Sun 1pm);

R22 vs. Saints at G (Sun 2pm);

Surely the AFL is smarter than that. Surely they wouldn't schedule 3 games that are almost certain to draw 20,000 or less (I speak of Freo, W.C. and Port). The Adelaide match won't get more than 25,000 either. I don't think I can believe that. I'd say both the AFL and Melbourne would prefer to see us go interstate more if it means less games like these where we don't draw a crowd.

Funny that. Even when Collingwood was woeful a few years ago, it got a decent run with Friday night features the following year.

That would be because Collingwood supporters always go to their matches. Always. They averaged in the 50,000s for home games this year. Even when they suck, they still draw crowds. Melbourne doesn't.

At least no-one can say we're not entitled to massive compensation in the millions for the unfair playing field the AFL presents us with every year.

Watch them say it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
