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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
