Wow those Hawthorn fans know how to abandon a shonky bandwagon.

    Carlton are doing surprisingly well considering Hawthorn. Weather also likely influences these results.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but Carlton have only played 2 home games against non local clubs and they have been:

    v Sydney in round 3 - a game they could've won and would've felt somewhat positive going in to
    v Brisbane a few weeks ago after sacking a new coach.

    The old South Melbourne and Fitzroy fans would've made a nice boost to those attendances. I've seen a heap of Lions fans around whenever they've played in Melbourne this year.

    Port - 38,886 - excellent round 1 crowd
    GWS - 20023 - not a good crowd but we were 3-6
    Freo - 20211 - solid enough for a team at 3-9

    Would be nice to up that minimum crowd to more like 25,000 but given our struggles it's not terrible if we're above 20k.

    The Hawks sample is one game only that was played on Mothers Day. The other games against "non local" teams by the Hawks are played in Tasmania and therefore outside the table.

    Bulldogs figures include their games at Ballarat which has a max capacity of 10k.

    Last year we played GWS at the MCG in front of 40k.

    This year we barely scrapped 20k. 

    This is what bad football does. It is to branding and growth as cancer is to the human body.

    For the sake of this club I hope 2019 is the outlier in a new era. If 2018 were the outliner in a common trend, then we're in trouble.

    Lots of pressure now on the football department and players to deliver. We can't afford another Bailey-Neeld era. It would absolutely devastate the club.

    Weather was grim for Freo too.

    The moral of this story: WA and SA could both easily support another side, and Queensland isn't really a football state.

    Not sure that the Victorian public have quite caught onto the growing strength of the Eagles and Crows balance sheet wise. They both have closed membership lists and waiting lists for reserved seats. In addition they have strong stadium deals.

    The only saving grace is that their licences are owned by the respective State leagues and they are obliged to invest in the local leagues (WAFL etc).

    Freo and Port are not in the same boat but they will benefit over time from the fan lock out of the two bigger home teams.

    The Tasmanian team position is interesting. By appointing their inquiry/commission the AFL have kicked the can down the road for a year or two but you really have to question the role of the Suns not to mention GWS who aren't kicking any goals on the attendance scoreboard despite their relative success. (GWS will survive simply because it is Sydney but you have to wonder why they cannot attract the crowds.)

    On the Suns, I heard their CEO arguing on radio that a team like the Suns needed permanent structural drafting/salary cap priority to obtain equalisation.

    And we would end up playing at Marvel.

    Our average was inflated by our Port rd 1 game of 40K when all the red and blue army had premiership dreams.

    Play that game this week and we'd be lucky to get 23K and would be below St Kilda on the OP's table.

    pity we have now returned to the norm of the last ten plus years

    round 1 tends to draw big crowds regardless. i remember we got 30k round 1 vs GC in 2015. After ending 2014 with 10 straight losses and equal last.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
