We shouldn't get rid of either Scott. Instead we should merge them like we did with Brisbane Bears and Fitzroy to ensure that their presence in the AFL survives.

It's only Round 1 and they played against a team that were as dominant as Collingwood were 4 years ago. It's not like we should re-locate Geelong down to Tassie just yet. Although the Tasmanian Cats does have a nice ring to it. :p

Thanks for the advice Blue Haired Lawyer. :)

I hope so. Seeing Melbourne this high up on the ladder is too overwhelming for me lol.

Seeing Melbourne 4th and Geelong 17th just doesn't register for me. No matter how many times I look at the ladder, I can't help feeling a troll hacked into the AFL site just to screw up the ladder order (even though I witnessed the Melb-GC and Haw-Geel games with my own 2 eyes).

He he he! Watch out Western Bulldogs. We are the next big force in the AFL.

So for example: I will vote for Josh Kennedy. Also as I am a Melbourne Supporter, I will sponsor Lynden Dunn. However this means that I am illegible from sponsoring until 9 PM on the 19th of April. This will take Josh Kennedy's tally to +1 and Lynden Dunn's tally to -3. What do people think...

Ok, so I don't know how this one is going to go, but I have invented a hybrid game between the AFL and the Hunger Games series. The rules are very simple and you absolutely don't have to be a fan of the Hunger Games to participate...

Lol, we are going to finish in the top 4 at the conclusion of this round. This feels beyond surreal. Can we just cancel the next 22 rounds and play finals from next week?

North will come good again in the coming weeks. Interstate tasks are often very hard and sometimes the away team just doesn't show up. I am predicting them to still finish 5th (behind Richmond, Sydney Hawthorn and Geelong).

And I thought the WACA was the only stadium in Perth known as #thefurnace.

Hi! I haven't been on BF for ages. Too distracted by Cricket World Cup lol. Have we found Kony yet? I was hoping that the children that walk out with the cricket teams for the national anthems would lead to some valuable clues on his where about. However when I tried to "investigate" them, I...

Don't worry Norf supporters, Adelaide in Adelaide is a hard task. You guys will make top 6 easily. Still wishing Melbourne would beat them once, just once.

I liked the 2007-2011 scheduling deal a lot more than this one. I despise the Saturday twilight game, it has never felt right for me. I would much rather have 2 Sunday arvo games instead starting at 2:10 PM with 7 choosing to play their news direct after at 5 instead of 6. Although I much more...

Glad to see Norf put on a Melbourne-like performance against the Crows lol.

Nah, I'm actually being serious lol. It's not so much they watch the game on TV (as if it was a channel 9 broadcast), but get a direct view of the game from behind the wicket to emulate the match day experience there as best as possible (instead of just letting those seats go to waste).

Dees got 27,013 yesterday. What is the break-even crowd at an MCG game today? Did they make a profit?

I can't help but feel that the 93,013 who attended the Australia vs New Zealand final at the G could've approached 100,000 if they made seats directly behind the wickets available for purchase. However, obviously the bowler's sight-screen blocks any possible vision of the game. Therefore I...

The game was won due to Garlett, Watts and Newton. I do expect them to have some poor games this year. If we finish 12th, I'm happy.

I think we should worry about developing the game in Ireland and New Zealand before we do so in Austria. Good luck with it though.

Yesterday was probably one of his best games. Yes he made frustrating clangers. However, he kept having a crack and ended up with 3 pivotal majors (including one from the boundary line). I think he should get 2 Charlie votes at least for that game.

Hey man! Don't worry about the nasty users calling your thread shit or throwing insults at you. It's very easy for them to do so from behind a computer screen. You're 100% entitled to your opinion! I do have to disagree though that this has been a poor start to the season. There have been some...

But most Melbourne supporters (including myself) live in the Eastern/South-Eastern Suburbs and have an absolute phobia of going to Docklands (even though it is a city loop's journey from Richmond Station). Not trying to generalise, but there is definitely a psychology that occurs between Dee...

Fair enough. But isn't the G privatised anyways by the MCC? (Not 100% sure) When the AFL are able to privatise Colonial, wouldn't they only make the break-even become similar to that of the G's at best? (I am assuming maintenance between the 2 grounds are of similar costs though)

That's actually another issue I've read people address. When the AFL get control of Colonial in 2024, will they be able to make the breakeven crowd (25,000) below that of the MCG's (20,000)? I was always under the impression that the break-even for Colonial was high as it was because of...

Great Idea! Although most Dee supporters head out to Buller to avoiding watching Melbourne play at all nowadays lol.

I did call it Docklands at the end by mistake. But I still call the stadium Colonial Stadium because it was a catchy name for me at the time which stuck lol.

Why?

They should do the Melbourne-St Kilda merger after the North-Bulldogs one. Then when everyone habitualises to the idea merge the 2 merged teams into one quad-megatastic team. Could you imagine the "St. Melbourne Bull-roos" playing lol?
