    Yep, massive wasted opportunity.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
