Dees to get shafted again?

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.

    Great news. I hate Etihad/Telstra/Docklands and want to play as few a games there as possible.

    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)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
