I think you misunderstood my point. I'm not saying that teams that bring in big crowds should necessarily be given blockbuster status but teams that play well should be given blockbuster status as the performances will bring in the crowds. The caveat being that blockbusters at the MCG will be between two well performed Victorian teams. Obviously if GWS or GC are playing well that's not going to fill the MCG against a Victorian team. -
This year's Super Bowl has inspired McGuire with a major plan to redevelop the MCG. ? | Eddie McGuire reveals radical grand plan to upgrade MCG First of all; It's not your ground. I like his plan to join the MCG precinct with Richmond station so you don't block off Brunton Avenue. I'm not a fan of putting a roof over the ground when the Southern Stand is inevitably redeveloped.

I have a feeling we're not going to like the results of this.

That one felt like a loss.

I agree. They should open the season with a Grand Final replay. Are the "Big 4" still required to play each other twice?

I believe that teams should have to earn blockbuster status. That rules us out of blockbuster games until we can put runs back on the board. We proved in 2018 that when we are playing well we can draw big crowds but we need some consistency to earn back respect from the AFL community. Carlton, Richmond, Essendon & Collingwood get a free pass (from the AFL) as a result of their Big 4 status but I don't know why Carlton automatically get into this group because their lean years have shown that their supporters are just as fickle as the rest of us when it comes to turning up to games when the chips are down.

I stand corrected then.

No surprises here to my fellow MFCSS sufferers. The team with the worst after the siren record is...? ? ? | Which AFL club is has had the most success in after the siren results in history? The Dees have been in 12 games decided after the siren and have only won two, lost 9 and drawn 1. Additionally we have never kicked a goal after the siren to win a game.

I believe the camp has concluded. I noticed that Carlton are now up in Maroochydore doing their preseason camp. The official website lists Monday 10th February at 10:30am as the next Open Training Session. I assume there will be closed sessions either at Gosch's, Casey or some other venue in between unless the boys are getting some time off after a gruelling week.

I did not think of that but I think you might be right.
He was also training as a forward last year before injury and this season has been training in defence.

Why would you win the toss and defer and let the other team choose?
The Giants want to play a game for premiership points in Los Angeles and they AFL have given them the green light to explore the possibility.
