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

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
