    was the initial forecast for a $4m loss this year? I remember hearing we would be $8m worse off ($4m/year) over 2020/2021 due to covid but not sure if that was a $4m loss or just $4m lost revenue. Either way a $2m profit is huge.

    I know Pert said he hopes by the start of next year we'll be further down the track with the AFL and State Government re: permanent home, but he also said he'd seen the designs and it looked wonderful and would be worth the wait (7:50 minute mark of the interview).

    Definitely seems like things are moving.

    The ‘MCG sized oval’ that isn’t has temp fencing around it. Hopefully that’s a reasonably quick job to get it up to size. Casey aka premiership HQ has been great but I don’t think we should overdo our welcome with the players. 

    They soft balled him and didn’t ask why Wednesday night is worth it. It has to be well in to 6 figures as a result for the club to sell out the families and working people who can’t go.

    Chances are DeeSpencer that the first few matches of out season could look something like

    Rnd 1 Wednesday night 16th March V Dogs at the G

    Rnd 2 Thursday night 24 March V WC in Perth

    Rnd 3 Friday night 1 April V Bombers at the G

    Rnd 4 Saturday night V Sydney in Sydney

    All off 8 day breaks.
    If it looks even vaguely like that then the disappointment of a Wednesday night opening will be soon forgotten

    I assume the above is a guess but is there any danger in us avoiding West Coast in Perth for a change? I think we've copped them in Perth 11 of the last 12 years, and haven't played them in VIC since 2014.

    But in Perth, whose home game would it be B-B-P? 😁

    Certainly past time they had to play us over here.

    I would have thought we'd play Carlton in Round 2, as they'd be coming off the Thursday game, and we can't play Richmond as it doesn't give us enough of a break for the Anzac eve clash.

    Not sure what the initial forecast was but Pert said winning the GF took us from break even to $2mill profit.  Thats many T shirts and caps.  Naturally there has been an increase in memberships which will have a flow on effect in years to come.

    Surely we’re past being afraid of West Coast in Perth.

    We’ve won more flags there than they have!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
