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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFLโ€™s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.ย

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      Iโ€™ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we wonโ€™t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything youโ€™d like to ask or say below and weโ€™ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics youโ€™d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
