    We'd get 50,000-55,000 along, not sure it'd be big enough for them.

    Win the flag and maybe we'd get 60,000...

    They will want it against Collingwood, like they requested for this year. Suspect it will be Essendon/Richmond so they are only outnumbered 3:1 at the G rather than 4:1 against the Pies

    I just count my lucky stars that the MCG is our home ground. 

    I was fortunate enough to go to a Western Bulldogs breakfast event on Wed at Marvel and even getting into that place at 7am with minimal traffic is an impossible task.

    Did anyone else read the thread title and thought it was in reference to the GWS game in Alice being transferred to the MCG like it was mooted weeks ago?

    Yes me and I got hopeful, Alice Springs the only game i'm missing this year coz of the costs involved in getting there.

    I doubt any St Kilda game at the G would be against us. Certainly not if they want to get 70k turning up. They should concentrate more in trying to fill Marvel for their current home games before trying to shoehorn their way into our ground.

    More expensive than Perth?  (WCE in round 4) 

    Fair effort to attend 23 games.

    St Kilda's home ground is Docklands and that's where they should play. Same as Essendon and Carlton (both who are looking to play extra home games at the G in coming years).

    When these clubs play extra home games at the G someone has to play home games at Docklands to make up the shortfall - it's why we still play a game in the NT because this game would be at Docklands if it were in Vic.

    We've done bloody well to get two of these feature games given our size. Hawthorn and Geelong only have one. North have half a one on Good Friday. Dogs and saints don't have any. Pies, dees and blues have 2. Richmond and bombers have 3.

    It was there, DL!

    Shun article on Saints wanting a 'blockbuster' home game at 'G (from) next year. Had a 'looking for suitors' feel to it.

    Why, when we regularly get 80,000+ to these games?

    We deserve those games as much as anyone. A Demons versus Saints blockbuster could be a thing if Saint Kilda continue to play good football.

    The Saints warrant a "blockbuster" fixture but who is their natural opponent?

    Maybe Collingwood - GFs against.

    Rivalry round, probably the best I can come up with is:

    Saints v Pies

    North v Essendon 

    Demons v Dogs

    Blues v Tigers*

    Cats v Hawks*

    *Two of them are blockbuster fixtures already.

    I'd be keen to see other combos ...

    Personally getting sick of non MCG tenant clubs trying to cash in with home games at the MCG.

    Why doesn't the afl just go full commie and pool all gate receipts for all games? It would suit the current style of leadership at AFL house. Seems fair

    Actually not a bad idea (and yes I despise the concept of communism).  

    Why should one club take all the profit just because of the way that the AFL decide to arrange the FIXture?  For example when we play Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond at OUR ground, the MCG and it is arbitrarily designated as our away game we get nothing? And vice versa?  Or teams like Geelong in their taxpayer funded ground get the lot when our fans can’t even get in?  The spectacle is provided by both teams, why not the takings?

    I'm pretty sure this is how things worked in the early days of the comp. Yes the pool was far smaller but the concept was the same. You'd have the likes of Collingwood, West Coast and Adelaide crying could about that now though.

    • 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?

      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.
