    You may be right (but I hold the alternative view). The club would be naive to assume that this will just happen automatically, though.

    I think all efforts should be made to entrench ourselves in the Anzac eve match whether or not the QB goes on or not.

    The QB is a holiday and it'd be  a daring lot that dispensed with it should HM move on.

    Footy on that Monday is an institution. Think its fairly safe :)

    It's an easy one. ANZAC Eve will last forever; Her Majesty has just had her 91st birthday. I'm not confident that the public holiday will remain after her passing as part of a general push towards Australia eventually becoming a republic.

    It may be that an alternative public holiday will be created on the same day (meaning the first Monday in June) - in which case the Melbourne v Collingwood game could continue - but it's also possible a different day might be identified for a more relevant holiday.  

    Good point.... like the forward thinking.

    The republic will happen unless the politicians play the system again (thanks John Howard).

    Perhaps the holiday will be replaced by an Indigenous recognition day but no guarantee it would be on the same day.

    Gotta love some of the Richmond turkeys on Bigfooty, stating that Melbourne are damn lucky that a power house like Richmond let Melbourne play this game.

    Actually that was done in the hospital when they had their brain removed.

    Unlike some on here I'd like the Tigers to win their next few matches, it would show that our form is good and that we are competitive against the best around. Also I'd like to see both the Tigers and the Demons become powerhouse teams with a fierce and longstanding rivalry, that would take care of the problems around whether we keep the game and whether the crowd would come.

    If the Pies were in the frame for a flag tis year and we were playing good football you'd see a huge crowd at the G on the QB, it's not the charity aspect of the game that stops them going, it's been a case of either one team or the other being ordinary.

    queen's birthday public holiday does not 'celebrate' the the actual birthday of the monarch, but, after george v died, it was left as the second monday in june.

    fwiw, qe2's actual birthday was last week.

    it's all moot anyway. vive la republique!

    and why can't we have both? the more 'event games' the mfc is involved with...the better!

    Sorry there were not IMO 30k there on Monday night. If lucky we had one in four which means out of 85K we got 21.5 even one in three only gets  28k.

    I don't believe it was as high as every third person there was a Dees supporter.

    Not sure where you were sitting but was easily 1 in 3 and more like 50/50 where I was. Other areas I could see were dominated by the tiges, but large areas weren't. We easily had 30k there, unless we make a hell of a lot of noise with not many of us.

    So more than three quarters of the membership Chris?

    Not one in five where I was.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
