The Tigers home game has skewed the results but we're one of the big 4. Give us Friday nights. ?

Do you have brown paper bags, $$$$$ And Gil’s  address? Seems like the CFC way.  Can’t see any other reason.

    These are a beautiful set of numbers - long may it continue

    It won’t, it will drop significantly this weekend playing Saints at a stadium our fans don’t attend. Then we play Suns in Brissy with Crows in NT in a couple more weeks.

    It is home game attendance so next 2 weeks wont affect that but your right NT will drop it aswell as Blues in round 9. As the OP said Anzac Eve has inflated it but still encouraging

    Wouldn't be surprised if our fan numbers match theirs this week Cards.  Saints are at a very low ebb of their usually low ebb

    The sacrifices we are expected to make with something as simple as home ground attendees and Friday night matches! This is now not good enough.

    Watch the statistics change after we have played in the friggin territory twice.

    If by some chance when we play Collingwood and were both in good form that would help. A 40K average is possible.

    Watch our bank balance change as we play two interstate teams in the territory - play those games in Vic and we would have lost money over the last 5 years.

    Possibly, but only because we stank it up big time. A professional club should be planning for success and hopefully we're now on the right track so the deal needs to be looked at.

    Those games do serious damage to the specific statistic discussed in this thread, and I'd guarantee prospective sponsors look at those numbers. They would also be looking at the number of Melbourne based games if they were after that specific exposure.  It may have cost us sponsorship dollars over the last 5 years, but almost certainly will cost us in the future.

    It's also probably helped the AFL argument that we don't deserve Friday night games, costing us more exposure. Living overseas i'm regularly checking the international broadcast guide and I can tell you 'the wedge' game on a Sunday has absolutely no coverage OS - unless you have the Watch AFL app. That's the middle game, where the early and late games are covered, back to back. Without looking at the rest of the fixture, from memory we had that game a lot last year, and 2018 is heading in the same direction.

    Unfortunately it's impossible for us to work all that out, hence the discussion I suppose.

    We did well with crowds last year too. 

    Better than St Kilda who still have 3 Friday night games to come.

    Our current figure is skewed though given we’ve only hosted Vic sides at the G (Geel, NM, Rich). The two NT games plus home games against GC and GWS won’t help. WB, St K and Syd could all draw 35,000+ and if we get a good crowd at QBD our overall figure should be OK.

    I’m not disagreeing with you - think selling home games interstate is just part of the overall clubs development.

    Revenues from the NT deal, Debt Demoltion and poker machines ultimately saved the MFC from extinction.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
