    2 years in a row the aflw granny has sold out in a snap. 

    Why isn't the game moved to a bigger venue?

    oh that's easy .... $s.

    The AFL floats on booze and gambling $s and every other revenue stream it can find.

    So the opportunity cost to rent out its Docklands Stadium, built with the support of government so as to create another mecca for footy, to a non-footy venture makes more money than $20 ticket to the AFLW GF.

    Numbers not published but one can expect that 8k tickets are pre-allocated if not 2k more.

    None left

    My guess is a crowd of 75% but of course all tickets are sold

    That’s a huge allocation for a ground that holds maximum 12,000. I’ll spew if they only get 75% of capacity because so many people missed out, as did a bunch of us who were planning on attending it to support North’s cheer squad. And because Amy Smith (daughter of Shaun, sister of Joel) is a Kanga. Who knew it’d sell out so quickly?

    The game should be at Marvel where they could get 30K and everyone can get a ticket and sit comfortably with a spare seat or two between groups of people.

    Instead people are going to get stuck in like sardines in the crappy legends stand with thousands of people missing out on tickets.

    The AFL's decision making makes my head hurt at times.

    Don’t disagree with you. Not sure what the answer is when you are competing with cricket season or the lead in to. Our bigger stadiums have cricket pitches and what curator is going to allow a game of football on it while they are trying to prepare pitches. Plus there is a safety issue for the players as well as those pitches are rock hard.

    The football season is well and truly over so cricket is now the priority.

    Im assuming Marvel is used for  those stupid T20 games or even state onedayers.  

    Its also used for music gigs isnt it?.

    If AFLW GF tickets are a measly  20 dollars its no wonder the AFL is reluctant to host the girls GF at a major (expensive) venue.

    If fans paid 200 dollars then theyd be at Marvel this weekend. but it wouldnt be anywhere near a sellout. Catch 22.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
