Depends on the deal we get. I am an MCC/MFC Member, so i was expecting to sit in my reguliar place. Level 2 on the wing.

The deal is not set in stone yet, we need some good melbourne attendances in the next few weeks at the MCG to voice our disapproval.

Have to say something good will have to happen for me to go. If its at the 'G' i'll be there but if its not i want.

So will you go if its at Etihad?

Yes. I'm there for the team & more importantly OUR club!!!!

You might want to edit this (opening post) for a poll? So you can see the divide on one post.

Why would people not go??? The game is 5 mins from the G and we get to see our side playing in Melbourne.

Some wonder why we are called fair weather folk when people would even question turning up to support your team because it is just down the road from our home ground. Insanity...

It is not a matter of just buyinf a membership and some merch we need to actually turn up to games and watch the side ffs.

what sucks is that our game doesnt even clash with cats/saints, afl can write a cheque to etihad and we play at home

Yes, will be there regardless.

Sure, we would all prefer the game to be played at the G. I enjoy sitting with all the other Redlegs on level 2 of the Southern for home games. But I don't understand all the sooks who wont take a short trip down the road to support the team no matter what stadium theyre playing at or wherever their precious reserved seat sits them at the Docklands.

Come on people. Let's get serious.

I have no problem going there but i don't see why we should be pushed off OUR home ground for two clubs that don't even call the MCG home

Agree with you on that.

But it wasn't the question.

They should have to pay us to use our home ground and to have us relocated.

That is why i do not want to go to Etihad Airlines Stadium. We are being kicked off our patch. It will cost more money (food Drinks etc) & that money goes to Faceless Shareholders.

Its not that its just down the road. Its the money distribution. I Hate that Ground & it is entirely the AFL's Fault (wayne Jackson)

I will go but I want to know where I get to sit. I have a reserved seat at the G so I better not be thrown into general admin at Docklands.

We will all go, Jack Watts will debut in this game, well if the club is smart they will debut him in this game. It will create interest in the game and for any Melbourne support they will want to watch his first game.

If charlie Watts is debuting, Yes i will go, but i would still wish he would debut at the MCG

I'm pretty sure he's already played at Wembley.

I hope WYL that we see Jack even sooner then that.

And yes, of course I will still go.

Charlie Watts first played "The G" in '95 and i am sure his young namesake will be just as exciting in his own craft.

Interesting to hear what the club thinks about this potential venue shift.

But don't you think a better way to show the AFL is to have as many supporters as possible at the ground? Not showing up just confirms the AFL's view of us.

Depends upon the compensation deal I guess, it would make the difference between a forced but polite smile and an intense grimace masquerading as a smile.

I'll go where ever it is. Not turning up just because it's not at the MCG is stereotypical fair weather supporting and it's why some of us who go week in, week out get labelled fair weather supporters. Who gives a [censored] where the game is. Get out there and support them. I'd rather play at the 'G, of course, but suck it in.

Exactly! Ten points.

We can protest as much as we like, but if we do have to play at the Dome why wouldn't you come and support the team for a game in Melbourne?

I know I don't like the Dome anywhere near as much as the MCG, but why abandon the team if we do have to play there. I don't think a poll is necessary.

Posted

dome, stadium, g, optus, casey - not really fussed. If the dees are playing then I am there.

for people who complain about the stadium and paying more the entire reason the AFL push us around is because of fickle supporters like you. If our team is playing get out there and support no matter what. Only people you hurt by not attending are your own !

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
