    The AFL and MCG have been extorting patrons for years and got away with it

    They are lucky there is not a class action lawsuit against them

    Ah, still a rip off fellas.... I don't eat this garbage anyway, but at my work we make 40% margin on hot 4n20's at $2.50 & I bet these guys get a better price than us. Hot chip buckets for only $4...... Oh thnk u soo much for ripping us stupid still. Chips cost FA!! Including oil, salt & the buckets it's still a 400+% markup.

    How long were they charging $1 for beer trays?!? They cost em about 1/2 a cent per unit.

    So when is red rooster announcing prices inside the g will match their prices outside the g?

    Too little too late imo, I'll keep taking my own thnx, especially since I'm in the habit already.

    Getting very sick of getting ripped left right & centre in this country, especially by the government.

    some pubs/bars/clubs in the inner city you get charged $10 for a VB stubby that they probably purchase for $1

    then you get a cab home for 15 minutes and it's upwards of $30

    cost of living really is taking the pizz these days

    I better get inoculated in case they are importing cheap food from China to afford these price cuts.

    I have been taking my own food to the footy for years. As a vegetarian, I do not have much choice but don't eat junk food anyway. The only exception for me is a hot jam donut.

    I rarely buy the food too, but a least it is a step in the right direction, if you don't think any body makes money selling any food you are a moron, and this stadium does have high overheads compared to a little golf club or local footy club. Remember, the people working there are getting weekend rates. And alcohol is not included in the price drop.

    Not only is a hot jam donut on top of the food pyramid but it also contains all the essential nutrients and minerals for a balanced, healthy diet.

    I like how they pat themselves on the back when the real question that should be answered is why have they been ripping us fans off for so long? And as thevil1 has pointed out its still a bloody rip off. Stephen Gough is the master of spinning bull shlt.

    Water down from $5 to $3. Big effing deal. How about installing a decent number of drinking fountains around the ground?

    Time for the fans to start a campaign: BYO food and drinks to the G, teach the batsards a lesson.

    I'm the same with alcohol, I don't drink it. The only exception is red wine and beer.

    Sadly I don't drink anymore. But the same amount is just fine.

    I really don't see what the issue is here. If you think something is overpriced, don't buy it. It's not like not having a pie and a beer at the footy is a life and death situation.

    The only way prices will come down is if they don't sell anything because everybody is bringing food and drink from home. Then you'll be sure to see a readjustment in pricing.

    Have you watched Melbourne play footy over the last 8 years? I need a beer.

    I will give credit where credit is due. The AFL has listened to the thoughts of the regular fans and actually tried to act on it. They recognised the terrible fixture at times last year and brought back the big Saturday day games at the G. They heard us all say how expensive it was to eat food at the games and they have worked on the stadiums to reduce prices.

    And credit to the G as well, they haven't just dropped prices by a menial 50c or anything they have taken a fair chunk off. They will still make big profits on the mark up, but they have dropped a fair amount of annual income. Will be interesting to see how much Etihad follows suit.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
