58er

No but nor should we get only North Saints and Freo numbers after winning a flag and hAving record numbers in Members and Coteries etc. Since Round 9 2020 we have WON 31 matches LOST only 7 DRAWN 1 in 39 games That's 80% if we win next week. That's nearly twice our AFL/VFL 125 year history of 45%! Winning rate . So success is sweet but I think the AFL and/ or Club should send a survey out to Members and Supporters asking what are the 3 main reasons why you are not going and provide alternatives on the survey. They should also contact members who are not going ( or Unregularly) to games and find out why ? Membership Corporate or Social support seems the highest ever so why not at games say 60% of members going? it's disappointing to say the least Have to say the 20,000 odd there were fantastic very loud passionate and appreciative and supportive but are they the only rusted on fans? Time will tell ! Really who wouldn't be with a GF like quarter 3rd quarter of 10 goals! Amazing 10 different players 10 different ways and some sensational footy to last with memories of last year ! Reckon Kossie Tommy Sparrow and Bowser's 3 goals are all in for GOTRound and 2 are GOTYear contenders for the efforts and skills.

Well put BDA To be honest it's like marriage and divorce Some find reasons to leave Others find reasons to stay Couples don't work hard enough to keep their marriages going these days.

Agree with you Titan. Any one that can't love our footy and true commitment at the moment after the last unsuccessful years is being very picky and churlish. Barack for a non competitive team that does get the tough ball and you would lose the game 8 times out of 10. MALDONBOY you need to see it live and not out of a small screen where ball ups and scrimmages seem the norm. Not really buying your explanation as it appears your heart is not in with the Dees or are you satisfied that we have won ONE Flag. ?

Supposedly tickets were not available for members and GEn Public till after you posted your comment. Actually You don't buy a seat/ ticket when you go on to the app as a member or Gen Public. The reasons for the different tickets displayed is beachside the other areas have had sales already I would assume. You don't get any further info till after 72 hours before and agsin you can go to the GA area snd choose your seats on first in best dressed base. If you are reserved seat holder then your seat is protected in your area. You buy a seat on your App ($0 if member or price if not and choose the area and await scan seat 72 hours before. That's my experience snd YES MFC have a office betw Gates 3 and 4 for help. They are all over it.

Well said Balls

Absolutely Gonzo that is the truth of the matter. DEEJAMMING is dreaming and completely wrong on figures. At best 1/2000 Port fans would have attended so over 32,000 Blues fans would have been in the house. With us the 91 of the 20,791 would have been Giants. So 20,700 max Dees fans about 30% of our members ( not really as not all MCC members are dual MFC members.) I will say the noise and support was exceptional for that number of people but we are talking about fans WHO commit no matter what. Deejamming Your figures are rubbish so don't try and manipulate the story or rewrite never spoil a good story with the truth!! Just so average after all the players and teams support for the fans at the G. And look at the footy Not sure if 10 goals in the third quarter was a record bit must have been close. What I do know us that Kossie Tommy Sparrow and Bowser all gave us magic moments ( Goals of the year potentially ) and lifetime memories on this night! We don't know when or how successful this team will be but look at the last 12 games since Round 20 last year and that's a lifetime of highlights from this team that we are all hoping can be repeated on the G in September. Why miss out on the entree for most of the lame excuses trotted out in this forum. And one other thing by the 600 posts on Demonland there were a vast majority of fans home watching. It appears that the average D/Ler is over 50 and was not at the G on Sat night but watching FTA Foxtel or Kayo! Are you exhausted already from the Flag celebrations and accept success now as a given? The excuses by some posts here are lame and disrespectful to the team and efforts ( even just for Sat night's effort). Also we are not going to play at our Finals best each Round but a quarter snapshot like the third is a damn good memory for us to savour given the 57 years previous. Some reality goes a long way !!

Who gives a toss who we play ? Do you go to see the opposition or to see our team? After Round1 when all the Vic teams played each other there had to be a trade off and this Round looks like it. To be fair games against Power and Giants were more attractive when the fixture was announced but go back to my first question.

It's not a beat up Deanox. It's disappointing after the success and also alleged desire of fans who were desperate to see our heroes live at the G. Granted some crowds have been poor but are from poor performing Clubs with not sustained recent success. The excuses and explanations are dribble and aren't worth the time posters have used up typing in. Yet many will want to come to home Finals at theG no doubt. If the Club puts it out that the number of home games attended will be used in any ballot that may unsnooze the losers missing out on what could/might/ is shaping up as our best team ever with half a dozen or more most watchable players who are destined to be all time greats and no doubt Hall of Famers in many categories. Kayo FTA Covid Public Transport Parking Sat night Ticketing and any other "excuse" don't hold a candle and is an insult to intelligence and more to the point a giant insult to our players that at least 50% of members can't be bothered to support these modern day heroes. I must laud the noise and congratulate the support of the 20,000 odd who attended and sounded like double that number.on TV replay. We can do so much better Dees fans our champs deserve it.

Binman Can't believe you have missed the Cats 2007-11 and they are still around Their 3 flags plus dynasty since IMO makes them the Best Club this Century by a long way ( Even though the Hawks have 4 Flags) The W and L record will prove that . BTW I think we are starting to make our mark in that regard. From Round 9 in 2020 our record is : 31 WINS 7 LOSSES 1 DRAW from 39 MATCHES. Thats over 80% GOODY NOW 67 - 48 - 1 - 116 About 58/59% and getting better each round.

It's for spectator safety going to Richmond Station on Brunson St which is why walkover is necessary in the Station upgrade..

Once again Goody and Co got it right ! Jie many would BBB have kicked last night ?

Was there also Star was born Wellsy's first game 4 goals promoted with not great form from Reserves but never looked back. Tough uncompromising lived his high marking for such a medium/small. Yes we beat the Navy Blues by about 2 goals. Wellsy marked late in quarter in forward pocket at Scoreboard end to seal it!

6.Maxy 5.Tracc 4. Spargo 3.Clarry 2.Maysie 1. Viney/ Kossie/ and just about every one else. Complete as you can ask for team effort which translated to accurate goal kicking. Some wonderful individual highlights from Kossie ( multiple) Tommy Sparrow also Goal of the Yesr chance just like Kossies and Bowser great intercept and shot for third GOTY possibility.

How do you know they are poor?

Lpok up eagles website or Melb website I think Round9 have just come on sale now.

There has not been an official State Govt announcement yet. Hold your horses it will come . May not be till between our 14th and 15 th Flags, though.

Do you know that as fact MD ? The State Govt needed a different slant on the Games to 2006 and building up Regional facilities is both functionally smart and you would think politically rewarding. Don't think The MCC necessarily canned the games but Dan or another lily came up with the Regional proposal. As we know Victoria excels in events far better than any other states.

As once when go you include the possibility of a player risking suspension in team selection? Get real TSD !

SOrry Deemania I am commenting on Dee Spencer's post you commented on. That's not the point If you make the action you accept the consequences. Mentioning the Gaff/ Brayshaw incident is not the smartest comparison. The mantra is DONT THROW your arms or fist around loosely. The memory of the horrible pictures of Andrew Brayshaws jaw are about as graphic as this type of action gets. Any logic or sympathy for BBB goes out the window immediately in your inappropriate post memory.

I understand what you said but it's irrelevant in the context of the subject matter.

The big Clubs don't carry on like this You will always get a time slot that's inconvenient to someone. well if it's not whinging what is it? Agreement ??

Sorry if I offended You LH. But you can't have it both ways You ARE complaining about Night games and FTA and coming up with multiple reasons why we won't get crowds at those games!! School hols are for 2 weeks so let's suspend AFL games!! The Sat night is fine for a crowd in the middle of Easter as Sunday is not a school day. Did you want the game at 1.10pm Ssturday or ssy 3.20 pm Sunday? Why Will we get any more at those times in the middle of Easter ? ( or School Hols) Where is your proof that any more revenue for the Club will be raised at those times? What you should be complaining about is the Sunday May 8 Mother's Day 1.10 pm time slot!! Vs Saints. Any fixture at the G on Mothers Day is a crowd killer about 5.000 more down than usual. My point is that if you keep having unpopular opponent teams at early day weekend time Slots you will go back to low attendances and lose valuable corporate revenue at the same time. Wr should be used to mask wearing on public transport and why is the public car park at the G any more closed on Sat night than 18 hours later on Sunday? Sorry your argument does not stack up for the Club revenue as you wouldn't have any figures to prove it. It is merely your preference in time slots it appears.

FGS We must be the only Club that has supporters that winge and whine about prime spots for games. Get used to success and the spoils either in marketing exposure and fame. We dont want to go back to below 20,,000 daytime at the G which makes the G look like a disaster zone. That's why we come under ridicule fir low crowds. if the players are any where any time any whatever support them. Not having prime time night games is paramount to marketing death and we can't afford that in our push by the Club for its 4 year plan etc, and the benefits of growth that go with it.

Quality small forwards with pace and great disposal was identified by JT when we drafted Kossie and are added to his crumbing and goal kicking for the firward line and mids. Bowry has blossomed as a defender and now with Kossie Lsurie is our classy newcomer developing with Casey. Yes Bedford snd Chandler will need to grab a spot soon or miss out.

Don't mind Smirh forward but BBB looks anything but ageing !
