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: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
