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.

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.

I don't mind a twilight game.

That's an outrageous disgrace.

Yeah what the hell? Make all that effort to get to the ground and split? It's a GF for god's sake. I've never been to one and these crud muckets just think they can pull this stuff? Give me a spell

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: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
