A good trivia question is what was the last official match played at Waverley Park? The answer is surprising The 2000 VFL/VFA Grand Final Sandringham V North Ballarat. The premiership was won by the Sandringham Football Club, after defeating North Ballarat by 31 points in the Grand Final on 27...

You have to hand it to all concerned at Geelong - from the Coach Chris Scott and Football dept esp as they just keep on finding ways and players to keep winning even with a banged up side.

Click on MSM to see the latest design for New Hobart AFL/Cricket stadium - I think it is ideal and will clean up an important rundown waterfront area...

The AFL continues to belt the RL on Ch9 as CH 7 is way ahead on the 5 capital city index. So much for RLs supposed dominance as a TV sport!

Marvel is NOT a true rectangle stadium even with the seats rolled out on the wings as the seats at both end goals are a still a long way from the action due to the oval shape!

Yep they cannot get away from the FACT that soccer is a Pommie invented game!

There are still walk up standing room apparently but if you flag a sell out days ahead those people wont bother to turn up!

Yep there were plenty of empty seats and can the AFL STOP calling these BS crowds sell outs? Marvel apparently holds 53,000 for AFL matches = go figure why it was 10,000 short of a full house.

Yep over on LU they cannot stop raving they are having a sort of record year but we keep quiet about the great season we are having crowd and TV wise = why has Gill gone to sleep at the wheel on the way out?

It will rely on a lot Carlton fans and MCC Members to turn up to get over 70K!

The Marvel crowd is NO WHERE near to 45 -50k as predicted then again it is a St Kilda home game and it looks like the Saints fans don't believe they are in the eight for long and haven't turned up in numbers!

Time to give these obviously not wanted AFL matches by Tasmanian football fans the flick! The millions saved by the Tasmanian Govt should go to the new Tassie team not bottom AFL clubs like North and Hawthorn. If played in Melbourne there would been at least another 20k fans who could have seen...

About what you would expect from a 16th placed Hawks home match at the G with a possible thumping by Collingwood! It was never going to get anywhere near 75k as some on here were suggesting.

About what I expected.

Sadly those 32K members do not translate into bigger crowds at GS which are mostly below 10K!

The Storm have not really improved in the last 24 years even with winning 6 premierships as their crowds barely get to 16k even now and their ratings on CH 9 when shown live are abysmal like the 25k in Melbourne last night on CH9s main channel in a city of 5.2 million with massive over the top...

It is going to be interesting next season when the new stand is finished to see how many 40k sell outs Gelong get - I suspect not too many!

An interesting article from Caroline Wilson in todays AGE! This is how anti AFL Sydney/Brisbane media are holding the game back when the AFL have to pay for coverages in the Murdoch rags! I thought as ALL the AFL matches are on Foxtel it would be in their interests to cross promote the AFL...

My bad! I meant Tigers fans who hate Marvel with a vengeance but the Saints v Carlton at Marvel on Sunday will rely on Carlton fans to turn up in numbers to get over 40k.

A good Friday night crowd considering that the Tiger's fans hate Marvel.

Melbourne/Victoria does NOT need a 50,000 seat rectangular stadium for a maybe Soccer WC sometime in the distant future and AAMI at 30,050 is very rarely full for RL,RU or A League soccer so it would be a waste of hundreds of millions of tax payers money to build a new stadium!

Even with free reign on Thurs Night without competition from the AFL CH 9's RL telecast could only pull 289K across the capital cities and was # 16 programme on the night!

It might struggle to 40k due to the weather and WB members not turning up.

Depends on how many Tiger fans turn up and I'm glad it is being played at Marvel with the roof shut because of the wild weather around today = no excuse for poor ball handling and kicking !

I have been to the ground a number of times and to me it is not AFL standard for a city the size of Ballarat that is only about an hour from Melbourne anyway so tell me this spending millions on the stadium and the matches in HEARTLAND Australian Football territory like Ballarat (don't forget...

The ground itself is pathetic and NOT up to AFL standard in Victoria and obviously the Bulldogs and the local Ballart football fans could not less about going to Mars If it wasn't for the Victorian tipping in our taxes to prop up these match's the AFL would NEVER play there. The other thing it...

Just goes to show how much the AFL relies on the train network to the G and Marvel hopefully when the Metro opens in 2025 a lot of this current disruption will be a thing of the past.

The Coll v Carl match out rated the Test match and came in in 5th and 13th spots on the FTA capital cities and the was #1 on foxtel with 210,000 viewers - the RL did not even make the top 20 even though Ch 9 telecast the Storms match live into Melbourne in front of the Test cricket!

Well done Pies and Blues fans!
