We don't even need to win to not start at the bottom. Just not get thumped!

obviously. i meant that last year, as far as i can remember, after losing by 105 points to the hawks in round 1, we didnt move up.

to be in the top 8 just for one week, would be exciting

29432. Would love to say higher, but grand prix is going to kill us and north have no supporters. Scores: north melb 13.11.89 to demons 9.8.62. We will outplay them for most of the game, but will be unable to capitalize on our forward 50 entries. They will play like the ordinary team I think they are, but they will somehow manage to scrap goals through against the tide and will have a half a qtr where we fall asleep and gift them 4 goals.

35k would be decent.

I can't be there because of cricket but I don't think junior footy will get in the way on a Sunday this early so we should get a decent crowd.

Posted

I am not sure if junior football starts this early in the season. I hope not! We should be able to expect 35,000. But being more realistic. 30,000!

With Carey's return to Kanga's. Maybe he can put on a jumper for a half.

No faith around here!!

29,990, meaning we will be paying to play again, and the Dees by 22 in a thrilling 4th qrt!!!

Bate and Miller to kick 4 each

we only need to beat 20,000 to break even

It could be a bit smaller for break even depending upon the emergency meeting by club presidents, AFL and the MCG & Dome today for the clubs are fighting for a better deal.

im taking two guests even if they are north supporters, more money for the club. 35000 should make it to the ground.

MFC home game against Kangaroos in 2008 was Round 17 - crowd was 21,330.

6 matches later, things have changed dramatically for the Dees.

A lot of supporter enthusiasm, no doubt buoyed by an unbeaten record so far this season, would lead to a prediction of > 30,000.

I'll go 31,222.

Posted

I would have thought anything over 30 000 would be a pretty good result......

So hopefully we can pull something in the 35 000+ vicinity.

I'm not holding my breath on that kind of figure, but we can always hope!!!

Well there will be at least 1 coz i'll be there. But in all seriousness I'd just like to hear enough there to drown out the roos.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
