Analysis Should we be pursuing a secondary market post-Hobart? If yes, then where?

[Colby Cheer Squad]

The question the club need to be on the front foot on here is whether 2 WA games means 6 games in total taken away from the Melbourne based supporters.

Is this not clear?

Stopped being a fortress around 2016-17 tbf

Around the time Heath told us we are guaranteed to play finals thanks to 4 guaranteed wins.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Selfishly, I like this a lot as I live in Jakarta. Better weather in Perth and a much shorter, cheaper flight to go watch North.

What’s Jakarta like mate? Been to Bali about 10 times and ticked off a lot of Asia, particularly the super cities, is it comparable to, say like Singapore? Or more like a Taipei?

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Sorry, I'm allowed to toot my own horn here for predicting this, surely.

Yep, fair ****s to you on that one.

 

[Gasometer]

Been telling you for a week now

It’s Perth

Yeah well we've all drunk at least some Kool Aid since our last finals appearance

 

[Sillygit]

I’ve heard it all before with past CEO’s/presidents…..

“We’re looking at doing 1 game”
“We’re looking at doing a maximum of 2 games”
“We’re looking at doing a maximum of 3 games”

Ah ok, just more doom and gloom extrapolation, got it.

To be clear -

Once the tassie deal is finished we’re only selling 2 games to WA (9 home games at marvel) that’s a compromise I can get behind.

Fair go, same.

 

[Devski]

A cool $1m per game.

Extremely good business. We took the AFLs growing problem in fixture travel and made bank off it.
Brilliant

Yeah I can live with this

Jakarta is a lot less developed than Singapore or Taipei.

And, without judgement, but just the facts; it's a lot dirtier.

 

[speedy]

2 home games in WA? I wonder how many more WA games the AFL will schedule for us?

We travel more than interstate teams without the home ground advantage.

It’s becoming ludicrous. How are meant to compete against the other teams?

And the fact that the AFL approves of this just proves they see us as canon fodder.

Racist

 

[roomagic1984]

I want to see 11 home games at Marvel.

 

[Archer_11]

I'm missing something.

• 7 games Melb
• 3 Tassie
• 2 WA

So...that means we're getting a commitment to have 12 home games till 2028 - and for gather round to always be an 'away' game?

If WA is our safety net after Tassie, fine. But I would much prefer if the AFL identifies this as an exciting opportunity for the Bulldogs so that Ballarat can be returned to its rightful owners. Make it happen somehow Euge!

 

[LB2Snake]

Get a north melbourne kangaroos stuffed toy mascot into every immigrant child's hands as they come through the airport. It worked on me

It’s the type of stuff we should be doing. We don’t use the fact we are the national emblem near enough

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

That’s a big leg up for WCE and Freo, essentially an extra home game for them for the next three years…

 

[The Anvil]

Is this not clear?

What happens to Tassie members, I'm assuming they have had their memberships roll over priced at 4 games in Tassie?

 

[HumanMeatball]

Are north aware that Freo and the eagles are just an hour from Bunbury? Don’t rate the chances of converting many locals

 

[RightWingRoo]

Are north aware that Freo and the eagles are just an hour from Bunbury? Don’t rate the chances of converting many locals

I don't think we really care about that, it's all about the $$$.

We have 7-8k members in WA anyway

 

[gokangas]

I don't think these games are a recruitment drive.

**** up idiot

Tell North fans to turn the **** up then. And while you're at it, tell the team to hurry the **** up and improve so that North fans turn the **** up

 

[The Warlord]

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. No closer logistically

Can't believe Brady Rawlings has gone and sold a game to the one place that's equidistant between your place and Perth, forming a triangle very similar to his enormous nose.
