Just realized the worst thing of all - can you even imagine the cringe inducing puns that will be coming from commentators like BT and Dwayne Russell.

Shudders.....

immersive experiences etc ... reminds me of the shaking movie chairs for Earthquake and 3D movies... such a success.

Frankly selling out to a US comic book franchise kind of sits well with my thoughts on where the present AFL administration wants to take the game.

Did you know that the US government passed a special law to ensure that Mickey Mouse and friends never went out of copyright whereas our old Oz characters are fair game.

Any chance the MCG will ever sell naming rights? 

I believe the MCG is heritage listed so I don't think it's possible to. Thank God.

Marvel Comics have been going bad since they introduced a SJW agenda into their comics. Comic book stores in America are going broke since comic book readers just want a good story instead of politics, social justice and diversity shoved down their throats.

As for their movies, they seem to be going well; as for their stadium, time will tell.

For those who have not read a Marvel Comic for a while, here is an example:

But would’ve preferred they called it Frank Castle.

You do realise The Flash is DC not Marvel? What comic book can I find Dr Whoooooooo in?

I agree with this. Kids will love this. Disney, Marvel and the AFL have a great opportunity from an entertainment perspective. 

I agree going to be a quality interactive experience Victoria needs a theme park to rival Queensland or Hong Kong. This could be stage 1 and if the AFL manage the project - this could be a stroke of genius. 

Overall this easily could be a multibillion dollar project to put AFL football into the global sphere of big time sports entertainment.

We don’t need a theme park at a football match. 

The entertainment is the football

yep... just down the road from the Big wheel ... such a success ... not to mention the restaurants that fail almost by the week down in Docklands.

The only good thing about the stadium is that it has a roof that stops the icy winds off the Yarra pool cutting you to pieces.

Have you studied the number of failed theme parks in NSW? Does the 20th century Fox theme park ring any bells? Just have a look at the capital investment required per ride and then do the sums on the attendances needed to break even.

And just to remind you Docklands Stadium itself was a financial failure... AFL bailed out the financiers by taking a long term playing commitment after which the stadium reverted to the AFL. The original investors including the State Government took a bath.

The next battle for the AFL is how to renegotiate the deal that the original owners did with the Medallion club and its members. Not much return on those seats I can assure you.

Not sure you or many Demonland old timers is  the target market AFL and Disney are looking at.

We all realise not only football is played there, right?

Nailed it, Versatility and partnerships where both parties can benefit from the others core competencies. AFL is a well run sports entertainment business - massive amount of possible highly profitable opportunities will start to become deliverable. 

Most importantly clubs can derive income from entertainment businesses-  markets that were never accessible in the past.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
