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)

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag
