I enjoy NRL on the odd occasion, it will be played in empty stadiums in 10 yrs. I am always amazed by how few people are in attendance when watching it.

The  trouble and strife and I went to a game in Townsville recently between the Cowboys and the Raiders. There were 14,004 people there and the atmosphere was just not there. We had never been to Rugby before but frankly you wouldn't go back. It was as flat as a biscuit.

Thanks, GraveyBeef.

None of those items have occurred to anyone before as things that might be beneficial to a footy club.

It's gratifying to have knowledgeable football/business experts like yourself here to show us the way out of extinction.

It's easier for the AFL to pander to the larger clubs with the "fixture" and keep the others on the drip. Times are a'changing. Keep playing the way we are and maintain being the 4th best in attendance and things HAVE to change. Excluding the NT attendances.

I’m wondering who DaveyDee wanted us to believe he was. Was it Schwab? Good riddens weirdo.

On Facebook yesterday he was “Lana Del Martin”

got a lot of Demons very angry!!!

GraveyBeef was just another hot shot graduate from the marketing diploma at TAFE, with stars in his eyes, but interning at AFL house.

In between swallowing AFL propaganda, he spent most of his time desperately trying to claim an open plan hotdesk so he could sneak a few minutes on Demonland, enlightening us all as to the latest big ideas coming out of head office, and instructing us on how to run a football club, based on his long years of experience what he read in his course materials.

The only club he was a member of was the coffee club in the marketing department at AFL house. Taking his turn to make the expedition to Officeworks to load up on Nescafe 43 bean, and Tim Tams.

Now all those years of sage wisdom are lost to us, like chicken poo being shovelled from the Punt Road car park.

He never did tell us what exciting synergistic opportunities were going to come of the cartoon company's takeover of Docklands. I suppose it's because he never got to overhear his bosses talking about it in the marketing department tea room.

Nope - you earn the fixture over many years not 6 games of fantastic onfield results. Think the AFL prefers to have a proven history - think first game of the season every year. 

Your logic is a tad askew. Carlton has the worst win/loss record of all clubs (bar the two newbies) in the 2000s. Please don't tell me you are arguing that Carlton is being rewarded for its form in the 70s and the 80s.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
