Hopefully we get 55k-60k to the game, would be a good start attendance wise.

    That would rely on Dogs fans attending the game in their droves and as we saw in this years game, they didn’t. They also only got 45,000 to a Richmond V Dogs MCG 2022 Saturday night game.

    Always good to start the season off the G with a home game. However a round 23 MCG game would be great too. Last 4 season we’ve ether been sent interstate or to Geelong to close the season.

    Happy with this. Saturday night prime time beats Sunday at 1.30pm or 4.40pm. If the gate doesn't top 50k then that's on our own fair weather fan base, not the dogs.

    Certainly it deserves 50,000 plus given both ours and Dogs excellent recruiting and where both Clubs are at.

    Yes  RD But Will more than 5/10,000 Dogs fans come to MCG though? 

    I reckon we will need 40/45,,000 Dees to top 50,000.

    My boy Hunter to stick it to Bevo early doors

    Saturday night at the G. We'll get a big crowd. This year we opened on Wednesday night which didn't help attendance wise. We'll get 60,000 in I hope

    Also just realised that there’s no AFL game in Perf for round 1. Both teams in Victoria!

    The local radio talkback stations are going to blow up over this. 😂

    I read somewhere that Optus Stadium was unavailable for some reason for Round 1. 

    Edit: And that reason is Ed Sheeran.

    Welcome back to coaching Ross, 4:40 timeslot on Sunday.

    So hang on I thought the premiership teams were going to play in r1 or did they work out putting it on a Wednesday night does not work. 

    Well hopefully Ugle-Hagen doesn't decide to have another game like he did last time. 

    Should be interesting with Hunter playing hopefully. Shacke I doubt will be there . 

    Bring on our dynamic ruck duo.

    I was convinced we would be playing Geelong in Geelong in rd 1 but I suppose it will be the last game of the year just so we can whinge about it all season.

    So once again we have the contrived round of relative equals.

    The AFL just cannot help themselves these days. Once it used to be a few blockbusters now it's whole rounds manipulated.

    Saturday night assuming decent weather maybe 50k.

    Might go to the Hawks v Bombers game if our "transferees" are selected

    I don't get the angst over the Round 1 fixture.  Just what is it that posters are whinging about?

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
