Which should have been 3 Blockbuster games. But in reality mean nothing...

 

the Sponsors must be so pleased...

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.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    POSTGAME: Practice Match vs Fremantle

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
