No wonder there’s no crowds with these gutter journos supposedly promoting the game.

    Thanks 'Macca', my thoughts exactly.

    What a childish, ridiculous comment...what a DH.

    Goody should have asked where were all the Tigers supporters last night…

    That's not the reason and you know it. They did not make up this story. MFC players did that all on their own.

    Negativity around the game, is definitely one of the contributing factor to small crowds in my opinion.

    People  just get sick of it.

    Im not talking about the punch up story specifically as you inferred, because numbers were low before this incident

    I'm sure the Dees will post it on their YouTube channel at some point during the day. I will post it here when it goes up.

    Interesting to note that not a single reporter at that press conference (over zoom) has posted anything to twitter as of the writing of this. I bet you if there was something inflammatory in the presser and not the common sense and matter of factness that Goody spoke then they would have been salivating to post about it.

    Exactly ... over 100k members on the back of 3 premierships?  Who are the self-satisfied lot?

    But we're the scapegoat/whipping boy and it will remain that way

    Crowds are down right across the board so the AFL has got a real problem on it's hands

    Overall, Simon spoke very well and gave nothing away other than mentioning that the club was handling things and would learn from what had happened

    I don't think they care Macca the money is in the media. Spectators going to games are running a bad last. They will make all the right noises but the money speaks loudest.

    What was the crowd numbers last night,  I can't see any details on either AFL or the Age site?

    Ultimately, sparse crowds can effect the numbers viewing on TV

    And it could be that those staying away are not staying away for the more obvious reasons (covid, cold weather etc)

    The AFL needs to promote the games in terms of people attending the games

    21,757 as per an Sen article. Crowd numbers have been suspiciously absent for some games on the AFL website. We got more to our Freo (+8,000) and Sydney games (+11,000). Haven't seen the media go hard on the tiger fans yet though.

    Not sure they care.

    iirc Gil's salary/bonuses are primarily based on Revenue.  Broadcasting and related sponsor revenue dwarf that of attendance. 

    Its a simplistic KPI.  I'm sure there are others but not sure game attendance is one or if it is, is a significant KPI.

    Any questions about the QB game or talk of MND?  Very disappointing if not as that is what the pc was for.

    Goody does a presser every Friday to talk about the upcoming game, selection, injuries, etc. Whilst MND big freeze fundraising would've been one of the topics asked about, its not necessarily what the presser was for

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
