Really, really disappointing that it is not one of the Richmond/Carlton games later in the season.

Would have been nice to have a decent Melbourne turnout for those games.

    So now we are complaining about having away games at the G against big clubs because we can’t get in for free? 

    Sorry to pick on you but I can’t stand this mindset - all we do is look for crowd stats and favourable comparisons to make ourselves feel better.

    We have generational teams in both AFL and AFLW and exceptionalism should be expected from fans too in this period. But we won’t. We just pick and choose don’t we. Plenty of excuses about…

    Mate you should be sorry for picking on me.

    1. I am an afl member that goes week in week out regardless of the time or weather. So you excuses comment is irrelevant. 

    2. My point is about us playing against two teams who are going to bring the best part of 60,000 of their own at that time of the season and it would be nice to have some Melbourne support at the game.

    3. The Melbourne fans who sign up as members and choose not to go (half the reserved seat holders evidently) don’t care what you say because if they did they would be at the games with us.

    4. It has nothing to do with getting a free game. Members pay for 11 home games and we only get 10. It is not complaining about a free game, it is complaining about getting a game we pay for and wanting it to be against the best teams. Especially when 4 of our last 5 games are away games. 
     

    think you have missed the mark mate.

    @FearTheBeardfair enough, I was pointing my rage in the wrong direction.

    Just one of my bugbears. We need to get to the footy to watch this team.

    Totally, but doesn't it also come down to the clubs and who is willing to do the deal? Would they be sacrificing a part of their gate receipts/taking some kind of small hit on it when they could just leave that seating allocation open for GA and a big turnout? I really don't know how it all works and happy to hear from someone who does. I imagine there's a few parties involved and a truck load of red tape to get through.

    Considering Richmond are constantly trying to beat Collingwood for highest attendance I would have thought they would be happy with an extra 10,000 people attending the game, not like they are losing money on those poeple.

    Imagine Hawthorn were happy for it to be against them because they will be worries about how low their crowds might be this year. Our game against them last year had the fewest amount of poo and gold at a game I've ever been to against them.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
