It's time the AFL make a move on our situation, 8 games a season in Tassie , 8 at the G and the rest interstate, this clubs dead and finished in Victoria and we will be wound up by the next TV rights deal if we don't take this option, were after new sponsors again and it's just the same garbage getting dished up every single decade, how can a club survive if you can't take your children to the footy, we desperately need to follow the Hawks model but I think 8 games is the best options, it will be interesting to see if Webjet sign back up, if we don't take the Tassie option this club finished.

You are off your head, we are not going to Tassie.

Tasmanian Devils. Close enough to Demons, right?

Same guernsey but replace the red with green.

Then you can kiss your club goodbye.

Why would you change the jumper, I think anyone on Demonland that takes kids to the footy knows its virtually impossible to keep them interested anymore, our club is in major trouble and time to consider Tassie Demons, as long as we get 8 games a season at the G and still trained at AAMI park it's not that bad an option, it's better than folding or winning 2 games a season, what company's want to throw hundreds of thousands at a club that never wins, if we took that option we would be AFL backed for life Christ we could even win a flag one day.

We play in Melbourne or we die.

Simple.

Lucky Hawthorn never took that option, then death it is , your very immature for a 50 yr old man and selfish, do you take kids to the footy WYL.

What has Tasmania got to do with the MFC??

We grew out of the MCG.

Make it work.

Get the right leaders.

You are the soft one mjt.

Why advocate the death of our club mjt?

Im not I want a Hawthorn model, we would still play 8 games a season in Melbourne and were not going to survive the way things are travelling, everyone wants success but no one wants to change anything, no one goes to the games but no one wants to give anything up, this club is going to fold unless we try something else, look what it's done for the Hawks, we've lost another generation of supporters we have 4000 less members than the Roos and 9000 less than Port, this clubs on death row, it amazes me that people can't see the opportunities in playing 8 games a season in Tassie, when was the last time the Hawks missed the finals?lets see how PJ goes replacing the sponsors this time around as well. We've been all season without short sponsors if he can replace Opel quickly then he's doing a good job with the way these players are performing.

Do you take kids to the footy?

What's the difference?

It's irrelevant.

8 games at the G one year 7 games the year after...6..ask a Fitzroy supporter how many lions games in Melbourne they see??

Get the right people in to run the club HERE.

Tthe correct way.

No it's not, our club sells thousands of family memberships, if the kids don't want to go because they never win what's the point of buying them.

and how is going to Tassie for 34% of the season going to change that?

If we are a soft [censored] club moving away from the city will just make us more irrellevant.

That happens with adults also.

I still don't see your point re Tassie as we are called Melbourne Football club.

Also I fail to see the correlation between,Tassie,Finals,Hawthorn etc,if there is one.

  • Author

i have yes.

I also take myself.

Your point??

If it happens and don't think that it mightn't it won't be the end of the world, the AFL will only throw so much before they relocate us, be careful who you put your trust in, I think Hawthorns set up is the best in the AFL, FMD who was the the bright spark that come up with Darwin, the package for the game is about 3,000 bucks, I think Tassie a very probable option for us and I have no doubt it's in the back of AD mind.

Hawthorn have about 12000 members in Tassie and a fantastic association with the state and its been the making of that club, Money means finals Biffen, were just dying a slow death in Melbourne.

If the club is shite, moving to the map of Tassie will not fix the problem.

The AFL will make more money out of us head hunting the right people to run the place properly, through getting higher attendances.

If the MFC move to Tassie, then the club is dead...It will be the Tasmanian side.

Got it.

We get it right here or die.

Simple.

The market is very finite there.

They are poor and underemployed.

There are two teams there already.

It will not work.

We already [censored] ourselves to Darwin.

It will not happen ever.

mjt, the Tasmanian market is minuscule. The population and economy in Tasmania cannot afford 3 clubs utilising their market. The MFC needs to implement a similar model in a different market. The Darwin govt are sponsors and we make money with each game being played there. The NT has an AFL loving population and Darwin's population exceeds Launceston. In time the Darwin experiment could be as viable as Tasmania is to the Hawks.

The club needs to inovative, not followers trying to topple the Hawks in a market they already own.

Its been 49 yrs since they got it correct, you seem to have a lot of faith in the AFL for a bloke that wanted to take them to the Supreme Court 4 months ago, I can't see the problem with 8 games there, Christ you haven't been since round 2, it's served the Hawks well.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
