    I'm not sure whether this is an on the fly attempt to get more people to these games now that people have lost interest in the year or whether this was always planned.

    Memberships have dried up since early June (people still had hope before then).  

    Critical to get memberships up for next years fixturing, FTA etc.  Not to mention the Jaguar sponsorship expires in a few months.

    The Pies and Tigers games should be big money earners for us but alas I suspect the pre sales of reserved seats aren't looking too flash so it suggests low crowds- Pies and Tigers aren't interested?  Don't blame them tbh.  

    Would say all those things suggest something on the fly.

    $99 for a one person membership + 1 x 3 guest passes is pretty good value.

    I think it would've been planned and they've decided what the hell, run it anyway and see what happens. They probably have an inkling of the expected crowds and are having a little bit of a panic.

    Syd vs Melb Rnd 4 - 26,669

    Rich Vs Melb Rnd 6 - 72,704

    Coll Vs Melb Rnd 12 - 74,036

    Let's see what we can produce as our home games. Admittedly the Pies game was QB which is hard to beat but I think that crowd was already affected by our season start.

    Could be either. It’s just sad they are basically meaningless...

    And 2 of the 3 games are on free-to-air prime-time. 

    A dress rehearsal for next season in terms of future FTA slots so a win or 2 is ultra important.  We certainly don't want to get smashed.

    Sponsors,  memberships and all sorts of other factors are at play.

    The big one for me is that we need to attract some talent from elsewhere.  So we're on show.

    Cue goes in the rack after round 23.

    Sad that we can’t get excited about these games because our season is over. 

    The Collingwood game will be my last for the year as I head overseas for 3 weeks afterwards. Normally I would be sad to miss games, but I’m honestly going to be happy to wave this season goodbye.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
