Great to see crowds returning to Demons games. We are 5th on the total and home game attendance ladder following only Carlton, Collingwood, St. Kilda and Richmond!

Verrrry positive!! hopefully we can sustain and even improve on that!!! Jimmy has played a big part in it all.

    That is absolutely unreal. Our club's resurgence is a helluva lot more than empty words, we're coming for sure!

    (credit where it's due, good job Richmond fans as well)

    That's because we have had a lot of Saturday games at the 'G to start the year (8 fm the first 9 rds) playing against Cartel,Coll (twice), Ess and the Toiges.

    We are 6th on total crowds (H & A). That includes a paltry 8000 or so at Darwin!

    Norf are in trouble 11,000 less than us on average per game.

    would like to see how many are mcc members. . .

    I have been in the members all year for demon games

    It is reularly full. Its the fullest that I have experienced in 20 years so the MFC is succeeding in translating MCC to Mfc which stands at aprroximately 25% of MCC members supporting the Demons

    With three home games to go against Sydney, Richmond and North we should be able to push our home game attendence above 400,000 for the year. We should get over 50K at the Richmond game and hopefully over 30K for each of the other two. Its amazing the difference the draw makes. We have home games against Hawthorn, Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond at the MCG, when you compare that to North Melbournes draw we have been blessed by the AFL this year.

    certainly an improvement from 2009 where we were second last in both average attendance per game and total attendance.

    in fact, we just exceeded last years total attendance by 2000 with 3 games less.

    nice.

    Agree. Too many people take the crowd numbers at face value without considering the visiting opposition we are playing this year as opposed to last year.

    Wait till were a top 4 team!

    True, but I'm more interested in the associated positives.

    1) It's one less thing to defend in the media

    2) The bottom line

    I must fess a Sat arvo is my pref. Given a noted push away from these sat games .. Well seems like some sort of agenda in practice should we make even more of a push to be that team in Melbourne that takes the sat arvo game at the G ? If we are more and more about embellishing our heritage and relevance to this city would this not help cement it ? Melbourne , sat arvo at the G watching Melbourne because that IS Melbourne !!!

    I understand where you're coming from, but really in years gone by we've had most of our home games set against interstate teams, which is unfair.

    I don't think any Victorian team, no matter how much of a powerhouse, can get a decent crowd against Freo or Port. It's unrealistic.

    This year we've received home games, for the first time in YEARS, against teams like Essendon, and it's paying off.

    On that very note how dif it might have been had we played Ess at that 'other' place ? So much better in so many ways at the G :)

  • Quote

    The most pleasing side has been our crowd numbers against interstate teams. From memory we have 36K against Brisbane, 23K Adelaide and just under 30K West Coast.

    Interesting, and also of interest would be how many attendees have been non mfc members.

    So true. But let's not speak of that s$%thole :mad:

    True - and also around 45k against the Doggies on a wet Friday night

    Very true on both counts.

    IT also bodes well for Melbourne's fixture submissions for next year. We have proved we can play exciting footy in the big games and we can draw a good crowd even against interstate and low drawing teams. Very interesting that we are above teams like Geelong and Hawthorn.

    Hopefully that translates into more Friday / Sat games at the G for the Demons next year and beyond.

    (although taking the AFL's perspective they may also say that because we have also drawn well in Sunday games they will keep us there).

    I think you are forgetting that we have also drawn reasonable crowds to home games at the G against non-Victorian sides.

    In the first 8 rounds we played 7 games at the MCG, 4 of which were home games, but only 2 were against Victorian sides (Hawthorn R1, Bulldogs R7). In the next 7 rounds we've had 3 home games at the MCG, admittedly all of which are against high-drawing Victorian sides. Both St. Kilda and Richmond have had home games against big-drawing clubs and are, on average, only drawing 900-1000 more people through the gate. I think that's a pretty exceptional effort on the MFCs behalf considering the dismal attendance figures of the past few years. A sign that disillusioned punters might be returning after the nuclear football winter.

    As other posters have mentioned, strong attendances mean one less thing the media can attack us over. Furthermore, these numbers look increasingly lucrative to organisations unsure of where to place their sponsorship dollar. More spectators at the grounds means greater potential for exposure to sponsor brands etc.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
