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

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.

Just now, At the break of Gawn said:

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

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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
