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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
