    How big should the GrandxFinsl crowd be tipped at 60 or 70 or 75 or 85,000 At the MCG ???

    An obvious one. Having Gill , Roffey , himself etc there at the announcement of a simple 3 mil ground surface upgrade looked on the surface like making a big deal about v little. Had to be a signal that it was more than that .  How far advanced are they re facilities that will bring all of the arms of the club bk under one roof?

    Is CS's desk still in residence? And if it is, is it as ostentatious as we have been led to believe?

    Tell him to ask Tim Lamb if we're planning to trade into the draft! :D

    Thanks Guys, for organizing the very timely interview with Perty, and as always, for your very insightful and balanced analyses.  Go Dees!

    Soft-ball. I'm curious if Pert expects some loss-sharing mechanism to be applied by the AFL for the 2021season?

    I will put my hand up as one one of those who had concerns when Pert came on board, based on his history at Collingwood. Now completely sold. Appreciate his candidness and application. Love when he says 'us' and 'we', and that he has a football playing background.

    thanks for this. A great interview. Pert is definitely growing on me. He feels less corporate and more football than i first thought and seems to love the club. Bit of a worry re the 8 mill loss over 2 seasons though. Guess it’s true fr all clubs.

    Great interview with Perty guys, well done. Highly reassuring to hear his response to the possible game in Darwin vs Adelaide (29.15 mark of the podcast). Being at our best running into the finals, playing at the MCG, with no interest in putting the boys onto a long haul flight which could disrupt that.

    Not being social media savvy, i had no idea what tl;dr stood for. So googled it. This was the second definition listed:

     

    Generally speaking, you should only use TLDR when summarizing a piece of text, whether you're the author or commenter. Using the phrase TLDR without offering a useful summary for the content can come off as intentionally rude (but of course, that may be your intention).2 Aug 2019

    You learn something new every day. 

    But I'm confused. Should you have not asked TL:DL of key points? As in: too long, did not listen. 

    In any case here is a summary of the key points: FIITWOMMDYAFAHAL

    As in: fantastic interview - in the immortal words of of Molly Meldrum, do yourself a favour and have a listen.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.
