The Queens birthday clash has been great for the club over the years as far as exposure and dollars, but i feel we should do a bit more with the day.

On SEN today they were saying that there was no publicity before the game,and the Demons should promote it more,ala Anzac day and The indigenous game.

We should have TV Commercials before hand and promote it as a great tradition between the 2 clubs day, honoring both teams past players and the history of the game.

There possibly should even be a medal, maybe the Peter Moore medal awarded the the best player on the day.

Another thing they said on SEN is that perhaps they should rotate the day and give it to Carlton next year,(turn it up!!)

Just think we could do more since we have the stage.

Thoughts?

    The ONLY Time these stand alone games get rotated, Is when All of them are shared around equally.

    it would be great if the game was like the anzac and the indigenous game but it will never be close.

    collingwood have never taken it seriously they take it the same as they do as any other home and away game.

    it really has no meaning compared to the anzac and indigenous game really just a day off to watch the footy :)!!

    I saw quite a bit of advertising for it myself. After yesterday's result you can bank on it that next year will go close to a sell out. That's fine by me.

    The Day exists in honour of the 1958 Record attendance figure and the run of Grand Finals we had against Collingwood in that decade.

    WTF have carlton got to do with anything.

    My God SEN come out with real crap & Bollocks sometimes.

    After being there yesterday i know one thing. Our Blockbuster Fixture is looking pretty safe into the future now. A Proud day.

    What do you expect when Koutafides was in the place of Schwarz on SEN - he has to get his 2 bob in.

    We should make a big deal around Queens birthday & who cares what Collingwood think. It's our day & if we want to load it with entertainment - so be it.

    Maybe we can get the Queen to fly over once a year & toss the coin.

    Maybe we could get the surviving members of Queen to do it...

    It looks great doesn't it??

    Can't believe the AFL would allow it but if I think from memory this side of the ground is less adorned with sponsors signage probably due to it not being seen on television.

    In any case it looks great and brings back some ownership and 'home' ground feel to OUR ground.

    This board continue to impress like no other in my life time....

    Thats exactly right Jack. That area has practically always been bare as it gets no tv time.

    And its not the AFL's decision. Its the MCC, and we all know we are great mates again!

    Absolutely.

    On Bigfooty the other day someone said that only melbourne supporters care about QB. I reckon that's true. And provided we give it to a bigger club, I'd love it if they rotated the opposition to Essendon, Carlton... whoever.

    When we're a good side again, it'll be a huge week, as we'll be the hunted... Our supporters will turn up in droves, and the parochial opposition ones will make it a hell of a day.

    Given that we have no other big fixtures, I reckon we'd be unlikely to lose it.

    But Queens Birthday is all about Melbourne & Collingwood. If the fixture is rotated then the day loses all meaning and just becomes another round.

    The Queens Birthday game is Melbourne v Collingwood-who cares what other supporters think.

    I don't always watch anzac day game once the pre game is over. Collingwood & Essendon do not turn me on.

    The day will become huge when at Round 12 Melbourne is undefeated, if filth supporters don't roll up good. More room for Melbourne supporters.

    It is Melbourne's day-somehow we have managed to keep it. It will grow with the team.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
