    Interesting idea. Sucks ya don't have a 'home team' advantage when playing on your home turf, that's certainly what local footy has over AFL.

    Although some teams in the AFL have that luxury; Geelong and the interstate teams.

    I like North's left field thinking to be honest.

    If they had relocated to GC when it was offered, would we have had the expansion teams ?

    Surely you jest?

    Running out through the banner to your club song is a pillar of Aussie rules football tradition. I wish people would stop trying to [censored] americanise everything

    Apparently they don't want it played afterwards either. Ridiculous

    I cannot understand this notion of not hating other teams. You barrack for Melbourne - therefore you hate everyone else. I'll concede that there are degrees of hate. For example I hate Carlton but I hate Richmond even more.

    I cannot understand anything outside these parameters. I had a few fights in Clifton Hill to support this rule.

    Don't mind not hearing it before, actually like the idea. Sorry to disagree with you, it kinda is what happens on forums.

    I hope you didn't hit them too hard with your birkenstocks, your kind need to stick together

    Arch and Byron are two of my all time favourite players, and even though it's been overdone now, the "shinboner spirit" is something I would have loved to have claimed about the MFC.

    Why hate them for throwing ideas out there? Is it only Eddie that is allowed to put ideas forward?

    No need to be condescending, I was simply debating your viewpoint. Which, you know, happens on forums too.

    I don't think many people would be keen on the idea of running out against the Saints this week, after a long off-season, and not being able to belt out 'It's a Grand Old Flag'. Passion is what makes Australian footy great.

    Leave the game as it is

    That's the problem, they're not brilliant 'ideas', they are simply trying to mirror american sports, as they have done with the likes of free agency.

    I simply wish people would acknowledge tradition, rather than trying to seek change for the sake of it

    Great idea, after a recent visit to the states and seeing how sports over there are it definitely adds to the hostility towards opposition teams. In the states the home team feels like a home team. In AFL you could go to a game and have no idea who the home team is.

    I think they should concentrate a bit more on winning games by playing better football than their opponent. So far they have shown potential but have not delivered, many have them a top 8 or even top 4 contender. For them it's time to put up or shut up.

    A great idea would be getting more than 20,000 people at their home games, maybe then they could create this 'hostile environment' that they crave

    But it's not for the sake of it, they clearly explained why they wanted to do it.

    Christ Stu, I thought you'd be banned for the shite you wrote on "your" Mitch Clark thread.

    WTF have Birkenstocks got to do with anything?

    BTW. Leave the caravan park and improve your life.

    Another great idea would be cheer leaders.

    Yes, I'm not pretending that we draw bigger crowds, but to be perfectly honest I couldn't give a stuff about creating a hostile environment. The fact of the matter is, at most of their games, they're going to be outnumbered by opposition supporters anyway, so it would not make an iota of difference to the atmosphere

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
