How will this affect our gate receipts for this game?

"Hawthorn members will get access to the season opener against Melbourne as 2010 member replacement games were released by the Club today. Members with replacement game access can scan their barcode at the MCG turnstiles and access any general-admission allocation."

If ALL Dork members turn up, there will be 50,000 non paying customers at the MCG, along with 35,000 MFC members.

Not much cash for the day!!!

Surely MFC would be awake to this and there will be compensation provided per hawthorn member entry. It would not be like the AFL to be unfair to a club.

What's the replacement for? Home game in Tassie or something?

It would be assumed they wouldn't get their reserved seats as per normal, entry only - it's just the same deal we've had the previous few years as compensation for a Home-'Away' game. One of which I know was a Hawks game because I went to it and sat up in the gods, god it was crap up there. Love my reserved seat waaayyy too much.

Surely there would be compenastion for the home team in this situation... It's nothing new.

Hawthorn is responsible for footing the bill for the cost of entry of their members, just as we would be when we have a replacement game for one of our home matches in NT, or Carrara in the past.

Nothing to worry about, we will be reimbursed.

Exactly. And given that the game is "free" for them, more will turn up, as opposed to a normal away game.

For us that means more "reimbursement" and a bigger crowd overall, especially being the first game of the season.

Melbourne get given a list of Hawks members who attend and forward Hawthorn an invoice.

Nothing lost. Lots gained.

The way I see it it's a good thing. Hawk members get in for free will increase the size of the crowd, it will be a great way to start the year financially

Good for the club financially, although, I seem to remember a similar situation a few year ago, although it was the alternative then. A Hawthorn home game that Melbourne members can attend.

Are you sure of this? I reckon there would have to be some sort of compensation to our club, but there has never been some sort of official announcement about how this type of compensation works.

None of the clubs that Hawthorn has named as "free to members" seem to be arcing up therefore, there HAS to be some sort of compensation.

I was just after some official responses on how this works.

You might find our replacement game will be against Hawthorn late in the season. They do have to pay us something, but it is more important that we start to lift our crowd averages so we can get better drawing games and time slots. We need to start averaging 45K+ per home game at the MCG.

    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

    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
