Knowing dee’s fans half of them were on corporate passes too. The MCG lost money tonight
Unfortunately the whole mcc contract thing keeps them there forever ?
Which is frustrating for many other clubs. Maybe we are better off becoming dee supporters to get a great seat every week ?

Considering their members voted to merge years back they would probably be up for it

Footy no contest v 100 years of skiing at Mt Buller
They're the Sydney of Melbourne, if they aren't winning no-one watches them, they can only get crowds playing the bigger clubs.
If they spend another stint down the bottom like last stint, that may be the end of them.

I think the AFL should give the Dees two home games at Marvel going forward, and give the Blues and Bombers an additional home game at the MCG each, in return.
The AFL clearly needs a right-stadium-for-right-fixture policy.
That said Melbourne home games at Marvel would be a disaster - when the Dees did have Marvel home games, those games drew 12,000 to 15,000.
Melbourne just need day games - the last two home games would have drawn 22,000 to 25,000 in a Saturday or Sunday afternoon slot.
That in itself is excellent for 7th biggest team in Victoria playing a dead rubber - with a coach wasting Melbourne’s most talented list in 50 years.

Funnily enough, with finals coming up the reason this game should have been at the MCG is to give Port a game there.
Your home game is your home game. You should always play at home and their should be no selling of games, gather rounds or any other meddling with the fixture. The integrity of the game should be the number one priority (ha ha yeah I know) and selling of games, being moved from your home ground etc impacts the outcome of the season.
The AFL is so compromised on so many levels that its becoming a ponzi scheme.

I feel like the trolling gulls circle in pencil their winter games against travelling interstate, and then bring out the felt tip when finals slip away. The gulls remember your past and ruthlessly expose low turnouts. Maybe some saboteur attendants plant chips all around the G too ala Easter eggs.

I chose not to go as soon as I found out the dees were interested in throwing our future away for Dan Houston. I'm not going to support a club that isn't acting in its best interests.

Olympic Park would be a better fit. Could send some tea, scones and cheese boards over from the botanical gardens and sell extra seats to the plebs above the Burnley tunnel exhaust vents

Is that crowd number (amongst some enormous regular season crowd numbers elsewhere) not more of an indication that 9 teams in one city is too many?

To be fair, I wouldn't want to pay to watch Simon Goodwin terrorism ball either.

Too many teams in one city is the issue now. Even more so as you can’t have all the Victorian teams all peaking at the same time.
Not to mention the preponderance of other events and hobbies that the AFL is up against for people to spend their money on.

They still wouldn't turn up.
I swear I saw more seagulls than people.
Maybe they can borrow the tarps.

We need the government to pass a law banning Melbourne from hosting matches at the MCG.
