Over the past 2 seasons our attendances have been impressive. Us and Richmond seem to have the best group of supporters. Even the amount of Hawks supporters on Friday night seemed suspiciously low, given their 95,000 members or whatever. Must be bored with winning.

Hawthorn have a stack of members who only exist because they are repeat reigning premiers. They aren't real Hawthorn fans, they're hardly AFL fans. That's why their crowds are so low - they don't have a large contingent of rusted-on, die hard supporters like Richmond and Collingwood do.

    Essendon's supporter base must be fast giving up on them... 23,000 is the lowest crowd they have ever attracted to the MCG (by approx 3,000).

    If they still drew 23,000 to the MCG while they were playing at Etihad, their supporter base must still be alright.

    Travis Varcoe kicks a beauty. I can't believe I am going to say this as I didn't rate him one bit, but Collingwood are getting the most return from that 3 way trade so far. He has had a very good year.

    One thing the Doggies have a couple of that we really need is a medium sized forward that can kick a bag on their day

    We have Hogan and Garlett but nothing in between

    And let's hope Petracca is an absolute gun. Geez Jake Stringer can play.

    Ben Kennedy looks out of his depth at AFL level. Remember when many people on here wanted us to consider taking him with pick 4?

    Nope. I remember a few of us wanted to pick him up with whatever pick we traded for Dawes.

    It shows you how brilliant our supporter base is and exposes the fair weather supporter bases of these 'bigger' clubs.

    Carlton couldn't notch 25,000 fans last night and Essendon struggle to get 23,000 tonight. Carlton won a flag in 1995 and played finals a couple of years ago. Essendon won the flag in 2000 and played in finals recently. Melbourne won the flag in 1964 and last played in a final 9 years ago, having been through the ugliest decade of football in certainly AFL history and rivalling anything witnessed during the VFL era as well. Yet, we still get 25,000 against interstate sides in poor time slots, with poor weather. Makes me proud to be a Demon.

    Our supporter base has copped a lot of unfair criticism over the journey, but we are one of the most vocal and steadfast supporter bases in the league, despite being a relatively small one - at least in terms of attendances and membership.

    In conclusion, it is great to see Carlton and Essendon in the wilderness. I hope it continues for the next 20 years.

    A day's a long time in football. :P Couldn't be more embarrassed of my club and we managed only 23,000 today (admittedly outside in the rain, rather than Etihad).

    Swans are on a slippery slope:

    52 pt loss to WC

    89 pt loss to Hawks

    21 pt ordinary win vs Lions

    10 pt win vs Port

    18 pt loss to Richmond

    Only 3 teams in race for premiership now and 4th spot on the ladder is now up for grabs.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
