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. https://www.afl.com.au/news/444775/apple-isle-payday-brings-a-smile-to-roos In...

We also beat them in the 56 semi final despite kicking 5.13.

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.

Further evidence of how woefully managed our women's football program has been.

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...

The Roos hitched their skirt to Hobart with all the dollars that were on offer which was understandable in their circumstances. However, having done so, they have no reason to gripe (which I've seen their supporters regularly do) that the State Government and the City of Ballarat sought an...

Our 9 game memberships are cheaper than 11 game memberships of similar clubs. We charge $210 for adult GA 9 games memberships and of course there are regular deals like the dirt cheap SEN one ($99) that the club makes available. St Kilda, North and Melbourne charge $244-$250 for equivalent...

The Swans were so unlucky in 2016 that they had so much money in their higher salary cap that they had been able to afford to poach one of the game's greatest ever players and another highly prized key forward from opposition clubs to play for them. They were so unlucky that they had two top...

This game was held in March and not May like the other two home matches we've had against GC but the attendance was significantly better than the previous 6k crowds we have had which did not compete against the GP. The sponsorship we get from the state government and the City of Ballarat is...

Perhaps, next year if you think you will make it to both games consider the Ballarat add-on for your membership. It cost me $85 and I get a reserved seat for both games in the main grandstand plus a Ballarat beanie. It's pretty good value compared with reserved seating prices at Marvel and...

There were quite a lot of empty seats in the main grandstand but there were mostly only single seats available when I looked on the ticketing website in the days leading up to the game. The club offered reserved seat holders $10 off next year's membership if they returned them to the club for...

Please do not exaggerate. VDM has only played 45 AFL matches!

Mental.

Here and there's a link to the website in the top right hand corner of the club's website. https://foreverfoundation.com.au/donate/

They do now have some general admission for $30 but you would have to be quick.

The people on the other side of the ground to the camera are mostly wearing blue. It's a good turnout of North supporters given their last 4 years. Might be 7k Giants fans tops and they are premiership favourites.

We didn't need that when we beat them in three MCG finals in 97, 08 and 10!

Collingwood were the higher placed side and would have deserved the home GF anyway so he's an idiot. What he won't bring up is finals not played at the home grounds of Vic clubs like us, STK, NM and even Geelong. This year we play twice at the MCG and the Swans three times, yet if we play them...

This is not an activity of our club but a business which engages AFL players for payment in their own time, like the That's Good For Footy Panel Show.

https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/1346615/vu-and-western-bulldogs-renew-partnership-for-five-years Obviously did not include the ground naming rights.

This is a very good crack particularly given the season doesn't start for 9 months. Georgostathis finished second in the best and fairest so would be a certainty to be in the 18 in defence. I'd put Ferres on the bench as she had a rather ordinary 2023 and was even dropped for four matches...

Unfortunately both Preston and Coburg have been uncompetitive for years and they really should drop down to a suburban league. We beat the former 161-4 on their home ground this year.

I hope not too. Bennetts will be 35 at the start of the next season and will be coming off an ACL and she is my guess. Carruthers is another possibility.
