    Cards 13 the game is a replacement home game for either Darwin or The Alice.

    You are not contributing any money to Richmond ! ( Unless MFC have to give a fee to Tigers  for each ticket used)

    Surely the seats selection isnt that bad at the G!!

    Its the best game of the year !

    Top deck ! Doubt you will see me at Tigers game. Last time I was up there I notice oxygen bottles under the seats. That tells you how high it is.

    Carlton game is ok there won't be many of them at the ground next year.

    Better to support Club than not !

    if Grand Final tickets were Top Northern Stand would you not go?

    58er I have supported the Dees since 1960. My support is now paying my membership, buying from sponsors  and going to games that suit me. Am I a fair weather attendee at games?

    YES. 

    A night Richmond home game  that ain't fair weather.

    TV will work fine for me that night.

    Having sat through some horrible games with more seagulls than supporters for the past 10 years I had almost forgotten what it felt like to have a stake in a game with 80,000+ people.

    You couldn't keep me away from a game like this no matter who takes the gate.

    It has nothing to do with the "gate"

    Richmond have 80k+ members, they will be there in droves on the night before Anzac day.

    As it is their home game the pickings for seats by us tenants will be sparse.

    I find nothing attractive about the top deck, that is why I will be home watching the game. 

    I will not be at any away game at the G against the likes of Richmond, Essendon or Collingwood.

    Just too hard.

    That of course might mean more room for you.

    There has to be a fee otherwise Richmond would be mad to agree.

    I was very surprised that this was the replacement game as it is a designated blockbuster.

    Would love to hear from someone who understands the financials.

    Just as an aside this tends to divide people. I would absolutely take a Grand Final ticket even if it were in the last row of the Southern Stand whereas my mate who I go with often probably wouldn't have a bar of it. 

    I'd possibly even prefer this to sitting right at the very back row on level 1 with the overhang to deal with.

    Top Deck or standing room Layzie?

    Geelong Game I stood at the back of level 1 my seat was in first four rows almost as crappy as top deck.

    Would do that again for finals matches.

    But home and away games I doubt it. But as I said earlier I am a fair weather supporter these days when it comes to home and away matches. After 58 years I don't need to be at every game.

    Sorry OD, top deck. But that's just me, understandably people have different preferences.

    You're a member and still get to other games so I wouldn't call you a fair weather fan.

    Perhaps not but when it comes to attending Home and Away games I am believe me.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
