No wonder thereโ€™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 nightโ€ฆ

    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 ย just get sick of it.

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

    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?ย  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.ย

    What was the crowd numbers last night,ย  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.ย  Broadcasting and related sponsor revenue dwarf that of attendance.ย 

    Its a simplistic KPI.ย  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?ย  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

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didnโ€™t just beat Gold Coast โ€” they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharpย 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lionsโ€™ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Letโ€™s be honest, last weekโ€™s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper โ€” second versus seventeenth โ€” football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
