We will lose this game. Just you watch.

I'm actually fearing the headlines in this one.

Fearing some personal ridicule in this contest from other supporters particularly Crows ones.

There is a saying in the UK when it comes to Football teams when the are mid table and safe with 4-5 games to go with no threat of relegation (they are on the beach) meaning they are on holidays already just going through the motions.

    another negative-$ return - you need what 30K to break even at that joint even though we own a 13th of it (the northern teams are paid for by the AFL and Geelong never pays for any ground it plays on).

    I reckon 15K will rock up.

    Can we sell the game to the WA Govt like North did?

    It won't matter that we lose rather we make a $!

    We'll get 9k on Saturday arvo 1.10 kids footy at that time etc.

    Plus our current predicament.

    I tend to agree with this crowd of 9K.

    Seems absurd that we could get a crowd that low in modern day footy.

    However, we got just 8,900 in 2015 V GWS at Marvel despite the supporter fan base developing some hope and confidence in the team for the first time in years.

    Fast forward 10 years later and we are at an absolute low ebb in terms of disillusionment in the players, coach and club overall.

    Words have truly escaped me.

    I wonder what the crowd will be next week - against West Coast at Marvel early Saturday afternoon.

    Any motivation I have to attend that game has currently been zapped out of me, this might change by Saturday but gee whiz.

    Ok so I have mellowed a bit since Sunday night, I don't want to see the media get stuck into us again, so I will go this Saturday just to add +1 to the attendance.

    Why was Spargo back? Did barely anything !!! Why was Sparrow back?? He was knocked out!!! Why was Petty back in ?? He did little at Casey.

    I thought they’d at least give Johnson a game.

    I will be surprised if we get that many. Entry should be free to all levels and we still would'nt get 15k.

    Was amped for the next installment of this, damn it Harley

    My Granddaughter is playing basketball near that time, you can bet the bank of England on where I will be and it won't be anywhere near comic park.

    We should match West Coast quality outs so we will then be on a level playing field. To be managed (don't want to hurt players feeling by dropping them) Trac,Oliver,Fritsch,Gawn .... you get the picture.

    I am surprised we are not 8-1 for the match.

    Actually wasn’t going to go to this as I had plans, but now am not only going but taking my nephew and niece and father.

    Going to show my support and will not be one of those who drop off when the going gets tough. Will be there supporting my boys through thick and thin no matter what

    Don't worry too much about the crowd. There was clearly no more than 15K at Sunday's game, but the official attendance was 22,570. Even with 10K this week, the AFL will still report 15K-16K.

    Can't understand the hate for Spargo he ran onto the ground and did a bone crunching tackle.

    I really wonder what Sparrow does. He must do something but why Windsor gets subbed off before him is a mystery

    What did he do with the kick? Was it advantageous to the side ? Did it show an awareness of the time left?

    Harley Reid out for rest of the season.

    No McGovern, Oscar Allen, Waterman, Sheed, Yeo, Jack Graham.

    They’ve got us where they want us:

    Our complacent best 🥴

    That gets us to above 5 goals closer to the weagles.

    We'll win this game by 10 goals plus, take it to the bank. All those players who went missing in the last quarter will be up and about, the coach will be upbeat and adventurous and we will kick straight when it matters least.

    The media spotlight will move elsewhere next week and we'll revert back to our usual form for the remainder of the season.

    I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fell out of bed poita!

    After Sunday nothing is impossible after losing the unloseable JNM. How often do we smash teams? In the last few weeks it took us 3 quarters to shake off North who then get pulverized by the Cats. Watching the players after the pies loss, then the first saints loss then Sunday I think they have checked out for 2025. They don't show any signs of frustration just hang dog looks.

    Last year Windsor look like hed play 15 years as a wingman. Goodwin put paid to that.

    This. He’s been “Melbourned” ( a phrase from a previous dark era ). And we run the risk of doing the same to McVee, Langford, and XL.

    Change needs to happen before we kill off the rebuild.

    West Coast:

    One win 18 defeats.

    No Reid, no Allen and no Waterman.

    If we can't take out these ultra low-flying Eagles, Goodwin's credibility will surely be shot for good.

    Only a Goodwin team could make a mediocre St Kilda side look like a steamroller cracking nuts.

    Only big changes in the FD will achieve that frankie_d. We are a club who has not had a CEO for almost 12 months and a stand in President while we wait for a retired guy to enjoy retirement for 6 months. I am not convince Smith wanted the job but had to be talked into it. The road ahead looks very bleak. Getting beaten on Saturday may not be the worst thing that could happen to us. The worst might actually be to win and maintain the status quo.

    Smith will be fantastic. Accomplished lawyer, seriously good (200-games) player in his day, totally committed Demon who is routinely at the G (except for this year obviously) with a strong network and MCC links where he was on the committee for close to 20 years and a proven chairman (MCC four years ).

    We couldn't have a better incoming president right now. Hopefully the same is true of Paul Guera.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
