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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
