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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
