I suspect having around half a dozen away games that they can also easily go to in their home city might be part of the reason why member and reserved seat member attendance is lower than for the teams outside Melbourne.
Trying to think creatively, maybe large advertising hoarding behind the goals might be a cost effective and partial solution to those nasty winds coming from the west.
It could be similar to those used at many of the old VFL grounds and could be used as part of the ground's naming right...
I have mixed feelings about the location of the new stands. On one hand, wind will still be a big factor and seated spectators will be more looking into the sun (I expect we will only play day games there as its too cold and more difficult for day trippers from Melbourne at night). On the...
Actually, in August 2014, the Kangaroos finalised a deal to play three matches per year during 2015-2016 with the Hobart Council after the month before TT-Line had agreed to continue their sponsorship for two years.

Marcus signed three 2 year contract extensions prior to reaching free agency and he and Jamarra seem very matey and this might be an influence, so I don't think we should panic. Jamarra still has a fair way to go especially with respect to his goal kicking.
Fun Fact: our three teams (AFL, VFL and VFLW) have all finished the round in seventh place. Hope they all improve as they will never win a premiership from that position...
Indeed. They are the biggest club in the League and have a large "go home" factor to attract free and non-free agents. The last time, they got such assistance they netted Shuey and Darling.
Yep, we've had this slot 3 of the last 5 non-Covid seasons (including 2018 and 2019). The game should have at least started later in the afternoon and the MCG match should have been played at night with today a public holiday.
Good post LB. I certainly appreciate that cost and value for members in your position who pay for multiple seats is a much greater concern than for people like me who just pay for one.
Your point about trying to create a marquee game against a rival club using a replacement game is a good one...
I am also a Level 1 fixed reserved seat member.
I agree that the club should probably have been more upfront with fixed reserved seat holders. It removed the two replacement games for 2021 (when only cheaper flex seating was available due to Covid) and this continued when fixed reserved...
In our last two home games in Ballarat, I've taken the train rather than drive. Only costs $10.40 using PT to and from my front door. $5.20 for concession holders and free for Seniors. It's less stressful and something I would recommend.
The club has offered 2 game GA standing memberships...
