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.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
