Not sure it is the time slot that makes a difference!

Comparisons to the 'night' games of 2020 and 2021 figures, aren't really vallid as they both had all Vic teams and Victoria was in lock down with a metro night curfew! 

Why are 2022 the lowest of all time:

  • Beautiful spring day, other things to do
  • Two smallish teams with one from interstate
  • Neutral fans didn't care
  • People have gone off football during the covid years

Hopefully, they don't use the unusual circumstances of 2020 and 2021 to change the time slot.

Had about 30 people over and watched the game on one tv.. last year they would have watch it on their own. Probably another reason. People going to pubs and stuff

    This is funny. But when Perth Police tweeted this about us after the 2018 prelim I was ready to burn their headquarters down. 
    Don’t worry, @Ethan Tremblay, I would’ve given you the heads up so as you could pull a sickie that day. 😁

    Good chance I probably called in sick that day anyway WCW, but appreciate being thought of before committing arson.

    Not necessarily.

    The only way to leave the members is to scan your card to get out .  Will the MCC be smart enough to do a search of those who took leave passes and check timing of the scan.  ?  Maybe?

    The system will have that info. 

    I spent the 3rd 1/4 not watching the game and came back to my seat and the area was only half full. Plenty had left by that time, me too just after start of last.

    Very limited atmosphere for a GF IMO.

    You can just leave without scanning out. You only need to scan out if you’re planning to return.

    He spoke very well Selwood. Geelong were the best side in it last year we just knocked them off during our once in a century purple patch. 

    err we beat them 3 times

    I know a few people who got a ticket in the ballot, knew that they wouldn't be allowed into the ballot next year if they didn't go yesterday so they went to the G, walked through the gate and went home. 

    Yeah but they would have had to scan there card to get out so if they just left and didn't come back the MCC will know

    Decent chance Cats kick 7 goals to 1 in the first Q and it’s game over 

    Swans need to play a massive first Q

    No.  At Gate 2 The only turnstile to leave without scanning, which is open around 3/4 time each game, was padlocked closed on Saturday. With security only allowing staff in and out withour scanning.

    Pity Adem Yze didn't get one, would have knocked off two letters in one go. Not bad for a three letter surname!

    Completely agree. Also because these teams have been successful over the past 20 years and everyone is sick of them! 

    But the media will use this narrative to change to twilight next year for sure.

    The praise of Scott and Ducker Selwood on the AFL website, calling Scott a ‘genius’ and Selwood the greatest ever Geelong player is nauseating. So they beat Swans on a day when the Swans didn’t turn up to play and had stage fright in the GF. Whoopee doo!

    The TV ratings for this game should put to bed the lie that Sydney are the most supported team in the competition:

    https://www.afr.com/companies/sport/afl-grand-final-a-ratings-bomb-for-channel-7-20220925-p5bkt9

    How is it that barely 300K watch "their team" from NSW in the GF , when supposedly they have 1.2 M "supporters"  across the country? And that assumes the NSW viewers are Swans supporters.... oh yes, Roy Morgan think so:

    As much as I hate Jee-long (which is a lot), that's pretty funny.

    Classic case of "scoreboard!!"

    Love the Cat's mad Monday theme

    On the TV ratings it strikes me that the Friday holiday has provided the excuse for many to exit Melbourne thus further reducing the viewers.

    Under 400k viewers in Sydney is amazingly low...Swans have been there now for over forty years

    On the tv ratings, you had 100,000 people at the ground live, you had live sites and pubs showing it which I believe doesn't factor and this year you could meet at peoples homes so people would have had parties.

    And aside from that Sydney are so freaking smug, in players faces with 'toughness', pushing and shoving etc They deserve to be smacked down.

    100% agree and Tom Papley heads the list.  So sick of the Sydney champions, always compeditive [censored].  Not so compeditive in GFs (though I'd also love to have won a second premership within my lifetime).

    I'm sure other teams supporters would probably say and think the same about the MFC, so I guess that's an opposition supporters right to have that kind of pejorative and perspective on the enemy.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
