I wonder what the level of interest is in this game interstate. I suspect if you dig a little that it's not great.

Similarly the level of interest in Melbourne in the Storm is abysmal.

The GF really needs to go on the road occasionally. (One in every three years would be fine)

Diamond, just come back from the Gold Coast. Up there it's big news. I think the level of interest may surprise you.

    Just turned on channel 7. You would be hard pressed to find a less charismatic line up. It's almost an art form

    Well I've seen a few wearing the red and white today in Sydney.  Also someone with a Swans scarf and a Lions guernsey!  Lots of pubs in my area advertising specials for the GF, so it'll likely be quite rowdy this afternoon.

    It will probably be one of the highest rating grand finals ever and the Storm just won in front of a sell out crowd that was one of the quickest selling games ever at the ground.

    Why do the Afl do often get the entertainment wrong.

    I don't think anyone would care if they just played the national anthem and bounced the ball

    Wowsers. I’m currently in Kirra/Coolangatta and am amazed at the traffic and amount of time it takes to go from one end of the Gold Coast to the other, let alone from Byron to Brissie. Not sure of his family / partner situation but if you’re earning good coin and will do for only a few more years, suck it up and live closer by.

    We're down on the Richmond river near Ballina. We normally avoid travelling to Brisbane during the daylight hours completely due to gold coast traffic. Perpetual roadworks.

    A 2 hour 5 minute drive at 8pm and a 3.5 hour drive at 8am typically.

    I can only expect he stays somewhere in Brisbane during the week.

    Geez we avoid Byron like the plague too.

    Saw King Stingray (they should be playing today instead of KP) at the northern in Byron the other week.

    $12 for a schooner of beer in a plastic glass. Eye watering prices. No wonder the kids don't drink.

    Go the Swannies. They've been the best team all year.

    CORRECT!!!! We have tried to copy the superbowl and it just makes us look like hicks. 

    The problem is, the AFL has no faith in its product. It doesn't believe that people might actually go to the footy to watch the footy.

    We have lots of great entertainment here in Oz.

    Not like the Superbowl are checking in here for performers.

    Katy Perry.... please. Wth.

    Contrary to popular belief, there is a world OUTSIDE of the internet. People seem to have this inherent belief that whatever is said or seen on socials is automatically treated as gospel.

    Katy Perry exceeded $500 million in net worth earlier this year and has a ton of Australian shows on her next tour next year. Whether you like it or not, she still has a sizable global fanbase in spite of not being in her “prime” anymore.

    This is far from a failure from the AFL’s perspective.

    Actually Storm has very good attendance at most home games, and it was a sell out last night. I am a member of the Melbourne Storm as well as the Demons.

    I was talking mainly of media coverage. Attendance wise 29k for a team that has been in 11 grand finals in a sports mad city of 5M is not exactly killing it

    29,000 is the capacity of AAMI Park, so therefore could not fit any more people in. The Storm have bigger crowds at Marvel Stadium when they played there before. Can you explain how 29,000 is not killing it, when it was a sell out? I am sure that more people would have attended if the venue held more.

    My lack of care is a solid 9.5 out of 10.


    But let’s go Swans because of JJ and because one of my closest friends is a die hard Swans fan. 
    And also because I despise Brisbane.

    Agree all the hoopla crammed into the non-playing time seriously detracts from the real footy. Especially during the quarter and half time breaks. Let the game breathe. Pre-game is OK.

    Here's an interesting thought, Dunkley could win his 2nd premiership medal against Swans, and Swans didn't select him as Father-Son.

    I have zero interest in this game and will find other things to do this afternoon...I might even blow dry the few hairs on my head instead. This is a battle of the big academies and the AFL can get [censored].

    Screw JJ.  He dumped us, don't forget. 

    Yes, I'm being very mature and taking the jilted lover approach to this game.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
