    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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
