    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
