    The players put on the show DL. The fans turn up to watch the carnage

    You may not like it but The AFLPA & the broadcasting rights dictate the game.

    Your vision of the game passed away during the late 20th Century.

    Is that right or wrong?

    It just is

    Fully professional sport will always evolve this way. The players want a fair slice of the generated revenue

    sorry WYL, its sounding like the story of the boss brain & the anus; the Brain said he controls all, & really, was full of it..... 'ah' said the anus, I'll fix you. I'm not playing your game anymore, so he went on strike. boss brain got angry, stamped his feet, one at a time, to no avail... the anus had shut up shop. It was a stop work meeting like no other, that lasted 3 Days...

    ..... at the end of the 3rd days sit-in, boss brain was steamin', eyes rollin', hair gone straight, & nose ran away; 'alright' 'alright', said the groaning boss brain, 'go' 'go', will you, get it over with,,, the anus did his job & all were relieved to get on with business.

    motto of the story WYL, when there's a will, there's a way, & sharing is caring.

    if the punters aint buying there is no TV rights, its the punters makin' the noise, creating the atmosphere, & the cheer that fills the tanks of players to want to play hard & tough.

    the punters cheers inspire the players to greater deeds, & those greater deeds re-inspire the punters. & so it goes around. but when one part wants 'too much' for less output, the system she just jams up.

    the game is nothing without those who watch it played.

    Lucifer hero every club sells away membership, you can by a mfc membership which allows you to go to every game the dees plays in vic home and away...there must be arrangement between all clubs when you go to an away game.

    You could be right there naa..would be interesting to know...might ask the club one of these days.

    Hey there naa. Thought you might like to know the club feedback on what happens to the money for 'away' game memberships. I emailed the club and the response: "If you purchase a home and away membership, all of the money from the membership goes to the club." Must admit, I was a bit surprised

    All the more reason for us to not get too excited about the QB vs Pies game anymore. For lots of reasons would rather we make our own blockbuster ala the ANZAC Eve vs Tigers game.

    For those reading this and would like the background go to post #26

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
