Semi Final Richmond Vs North Melbourne
- Thread starter Sammy Cougar
- Start date
Wouldn't it be easier to bring the game back an hour or 90 minutes so the crowd can walk to AAMI after the game?
This would have been an AFL decision, and we know how good they are at this sort of thing.
Not according to Sam McClure. ... reckons this was our call. Venue I mean... time would be AFL/Seven?
I would say we are a better chance at Ikon. Not growing the game and maximising the attendance is extremely short sighted.
A lot of whinging about the location choice of PRO.
I just hope that the home ground advantage gets us the win & we can worry about where & who we are playing the following week.

I'm with them, the best thing you can do to build your brand is win and you should play where ever you think the best chance of that is.
I also think the higher team should have the choice to play finals at their home ground, whether it is Geelong or Punt Road.
They can't rewind 1 hour or 90 minutes back? Doubt it's a tight schedule for the club at this time of the year for PRO. The Matildas game might attract some neutral fans to watch the AFLW final.
I understand fans being disappointed but I have to agree. If you have the chance to play finals at home you have to jump at it.
I had planned to take my 3 sons to their first AFLW game this weekend. This is a huge loss for the game I reckon. It could have attracted a substantial crowd and built momentum for the game.
Yeah it does seem an odd decision by the Tiges not to cater for a larger crowd of rabid Richmond fans. Shame for those that have missed out.
Maybe its Benny's way of sticking it to HQ, but I am all for the win and would like to think that's the reasoning.
Personally, snagged grandstand tickets so I am relishing probably the last (and only) opportunity to watch a senior finals game from the Dyer Stand. Hope we lift the freaking roof off!!

Are you a member BT? When i logged on for tickets all available just said general admission.
At the Rich Brissie game on Grand Final Day the Jack Dyer stand was actually closed off to spectators.
I am an aflw member and logged on at 2pm. It refers to Grand1 on my tickets with a low sequence number and I got to select the stand so I am hopeful.
There may be an element that Richmond want to highlight again how unsuitable PRO is at present for hosting games in general and rekindle the need for the Punt Road Re-Development which seems to have stalled in it's timeline. The project was originally slated to start mid to late 2022, that ain't going to happen and there is little detail coming out from the club.
A quote from Brendan Gale in below AFL website article:
"This discussion underlines the significance of our planned redevelopment at Punt Road Oval which will grow our capacity to almost 8000 – a project we are fully committed to delivering."
Tigers' Punt Rd preference means sold-out semi unlikely to be moved
The Richmond v North Melbourne semi-final will remain at the Swinburne Centre despite being a sell-out
