23k. Disappointing but unsurprising.

    There will be 3.20 games

    It leads straight into the News Bulletin, the only reason the fixture exists

    Sitting in the members it felt and looked like it was going to be well above 25,000. So it was disappointing to hear it was only 23,072.

    If we get that weather again next week I'd hope for at least 10,000 more for a Sydney game.

    There's always going to be differences of opinion on starting times. I happen to like the 3.20 start.

    And what we like or don't doesn't matter. The timeslots aren't chosen with ground spectators' interests in mind. Furtheremore, the 3.20 start is here to stay as long as there's a live football match broadcast on free to air TV.

    I agree - it certainly felt like there were more at the game.

    I have always disliked the 3.20pm games but I am slowly coming around. I guess we will just have to get used to the timeslot as it is obviously here to stay.

    How many Suns fans were there? A dozen? Two dozen? Honestly there were more seagulls than Suns fans.

    I went to the Geel v GWS game at Kardinia Park and no word of a lie, there would've been only 12 GWS supporters there, all in the cheer squad behind the goals. If GWS doesn't get success in the next couple of years, they will be a rabble like GC.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
