    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!

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
