As we take the trip down to Kardinia Park this weekend it is worthwhile remembering that sucker clubs such as ourselves actually benefit the Cats by a lot more per crowd member than the likes of Collingwood and Richmond.

This is a quote from Brian Cook in 2009 which probably holds doubly true nearly ten years later:

If we have a crowd of 85,500 at the MCG, which we did have against Collingwood in 2007, we brought home $771,000, which was $9 a head. Importantly,Telstra, now Etihad Stadium, with a near capacity of 46,000, we brought home $293,000, which is $6 a head. So when you compare a crowd at Skilled of 25,000 compared to Telstra, which is nearly twice as much at 46, you at Skilled bring home to the club $638,000 out of all revenue sources per game and only $293,000 from Telstra.

Yep. We barely make a dollar on a 25,000 crowd at the G. Geelong get all of the corporate box revenue, advertising, a big chink of food and bev etc.

Teams that have 'clean' stadiums cream it in terms of revenue. Adelaide, West Coast etc.

It means a West Coast can spend in the order of $300,000 a week (!) more than melbourne. Thats one reason the soft spending cap was brought in

Two of the biggest problems in the AFL. Stadium deals and the fixture.

Time to move from the G jnr?

How about a nice new stadium at Casey?

 

Well we aren't alone... I recall I read somewhere that we got a better deal under Steven Smith but can't find it anywhere.....

Also its part of why the AFL has an equalisation fund. Other teams scream about 'poorer' teams receiving money but in reality this is part of the reason it is there.

you may joke OD but I am sure the number crunchers at Essendon, Collingwood and Richmond salivate at owning a stadium between them.

It's amazing how the MCG has been able to dictate terms to the AFL and the clubs over the years.

I am not BB but as there is nothing available anywhere else Casey might win by default. It would be easier to get from VB!

I asked one of the high ups in the States one day... why don't you have an office in Washington DC.

Answer... no Senators in DC

Oh gawwwd please don't, Diamond.

Not to mention that it's 2019 and we still don't have a freakin permanent, dedicated home base!!

The Mcc are laughing...  hand in hand with their Bank Managers. all clubs add to their coffers.

The electorate of Casey is relatively safe LNP but it has little to do with Casey Fields. It centres more around Belgrave and the Yarra Valley.

 Pakenham was in the federal district of Mc Millan which has now changed to Monash ( first vote in 2019) but I think only part of Pakenham is now in that electorate.

PS.. seems that Pakenham is now in Latrobe... projected LNP margin of 3.5%

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
