It's not about being shifted, it's about looking at the current AFL problem and finding a way that the MFC can use that problem to its benefit.

In this case, we could offer the MCG to them for a large sum of cash.

Was there any proof that we would've been compensated for moving our game to Docklands?

Poor outcome for Geelong and Saints fans.

For the record Port have a better record at the MCG than Etihad.

I hope there should be compensation for us, from the AFL, Saints as well owe us 1, & hopefully the AFL can help us in the 2010 Fixture for being helpfull with the Scheduling.

It seems things have recently changed.

For what its worth I'm all for a get away from 2010 immediately prior, or after the midseason break to play @ Darwin or Qld, - Carara or Cairns/Nth Qld.

A few days up north, mid winter could be what the doctor ordered. As long as it's televised.

That's a long-term growth strategy, not a one-off shift for AFL convenience.

Can't you see the difference ?

Yes I can. But both are related to revenue and crowd numbers. Obviously the possible game switch was motivated by crowd numbers. Read all the posts on this board about moving games and it will always be suggested that we move games against Port, Fremantle, West Coast, Adelaide, or in the future Gold Coast and West Sydney. I hardly think we'll move a Melbourne v Essendon game to Darwin, will we? why? Revenue and crowd numbers.

No, Melbourne was a 'sideshow' in all this. It was about the Saints and Geelong and we just happened to be in the middle.

Fark me, fancy Melbourne supporters embracing our club playing anywhere other than the MCG.

(The only proviso is when we're in control and it's a Tassie Hawks type Darwin strategy)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
