Tonight North Melbourne budgeted for 31,000 and got 13,000. Expected to lose about 150,000. Thank god it was lower than ours. Does anyone know how much we would of lost against the crows when we budgeted I think 20,000 and got 14,000?

    We still have plenty of time to break that record wide open with MCG home games against Port Adelaide, Fremantle and West Coast as well as a home game against Sydney in Canberra.

    BTW, what crowd did they get at Carrara today?

    Official crowd: 10,294 according to the AFL website match report.

    Thats not too bad for 2 visiting teams..

    They've got potential, the Gold Coast.

    I wonder if it would be an Idea for US to sell one home game for 2011 + 2012 only to the Gold Coast, provided it's played either Friday or Saturday Night on free to air TV, in JULY, mid Winter. We'd probably win on the Field & also in the bank???

    A good little get away W/E.

    North Melbourne had a win. Unbelievable on a saturday night, no excuses for 13000 odd.

    Good point, all those 4 games are from Rounds 14-20 as well, so they could all be disasterous crowds.

    I don't think the one in camberra will matter too much though.

    Agree, saturday night with the roof closed perfect conditions and we still beat that on a sunday evening at the G in horrible weather. Wonder if the media will get off our backs then for once and instead ask where all the North supporters were.

    Melb v. Adelaide at the G on a Sunday at 4:40 was never going to get over 14k. I'm surprised we got even more than that (even though I guessed 25k+).

    But 13k for a Saturday night game is TERRIBLE. Has to be the worst crowd for a night game ever. We will get 15-18k for the games against Port/Freo/WC

    It is interesting that this chestnut raised it's head just after the NSW said there was no money for WS at the moment. Short answer to the question is no. There is a big agenda out there and the only way to stop it is to start making a continual profit.

    Having said that I'm in two minds about the plight of the Kangas. I don't want to see a real (read: VFL) team in trouble but I also think that it a case of better you than me.

    In the newspaper it says it got 14,342, But on the AFL website it says 13,342. Yeah and by smallest crowd this year I probably didn`t mean to include games at the gold coast. I meant at Melbourne stadiums. MCG and Etihead. I think Our next 3 games at the G against interstate teams we should promote the game in Casey and also Kick on the G after the game just to try and break even. Just to let you know when these next 3 games will come its Round 14 WCE, Round 15 P.A and Round 20 Freo.

    Yeah exactly why we should promote those games more. Against Sydney no problems we will make money from that. Anyone know how much money we make in that one game playing in Canberra against Sydney?

    I feel the same way. When our crowds are low, it's: 'where are the Melbourne supporters'. When North has trouble pulling crowds, it's: 'oh, poor North, they need help'. Not that I want to see them die, but they really should get the same treatment from the media that we got after the Adelaide match, and that we will get after the Freo, WCE and Port matches this year.

    We get $250,000 for the Canberra game. It's a flat rate regardless of attendance as I understand it.

    Basically, the ACT government is paying for the chance to remind everyone that Canberra exists outside the parliamentary triangle.

    The morons still haven't figured out that they should probably upgrade Manuka oval - nothing beats sitting in the open in a Canberra winter - you can get sunburnt and frostbitten in the same afternoon. It's a magical experience!

    And as for the 13,342 for North... it's already been said here but I need to join this chorus - we get more than that to a Sunday twilight game in utterly miserable weather, compared to a saturday night indoors... and it's not as if we're playing any better than North this year.

    It gives we no pleasure to think that the North Melbourne revival is starting to stutter a bit. I'm just immenseley relieved that we already have the money in the bank from Debt Demolition and the AFL/MCC deal, plus the two solid sponsors for multiple years. And 30,000+ members already signed.

    Kick at the G is a great idea, but I have heard that it can only be done for the last game of the round at the MCG (and as long as it isn't wet, and the ground conditions are good). So I think that means we can do it for Fremantle, Port Adelaide and West Coast as they are all last games at the MCG for the round. I think the crowd in The Age was a mistake.

    Steve, that used to be the case, but over the past few seasons that has been restricted to...never.

    We were lucky to talk the MCC into letting us have the run on the turf after last year's Freo match, not sure we'll get it again.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
