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...

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.

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.

What was the image?

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.

We've done bloody well to get two of these feature games given our size. 

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 ...

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
