Last week, nobody guessed it and every single person over estimated...

My guess is 38,000...

guess away people

Don't really care since it's not our home game! Just hope a decent number of those in red & blue go, especially those who say they can't or won't go Sundays because this is one of only three (yes three) Saturday arvo games in Melbourne.

M2W, i'm deliberately going very low. my theory is, we got 59K I think last year queens bday. Minus at least 10K because it is not QB. Minus a bit more because it is Melbourne and Pies fans wont look at this match as a very exiting one.

Hope it is a lot higher.

Nah, the pies supporters will be out in force cos after falling short last week they'll want to see a big win over what they think is a dud opponent.

I predict the crowd to be 57,884.

51,643

I got very close last week (29,432 was my guess on last week's thread), and I'm confident I won't be far off this week.

I base this on last week's crowd of Collingwood vs Adelaide (about 41,000), compared with the difference of Melbourne being a Melbourne-based team, minus the few that won't come because it's not a Melbourne home game, minus those who won't come due to predicted rain, minus a few of the magpie hordes who chewed their last few teeth off during last week's loss to the Crows and are still trying to read d.e.n.t.i.s.t. in the phone-book to arrange some dentures. If all fell well for the Pies (their home game), then if the sun decides to shine, 55,311 (though I'll leave my 1st prediction as my official one).

FOR SURE Mont!!! Even though i am going with one.

If we outnumbered the Roos last week then it would have been about 15,000 of us, double that for Filth supporters and ya have ya croud predictions.

49,000. Based on what was at the G last weekend for our game, i'd say we had about 16-18,000 of that 28,000 and that's a home game.

That said, i hope the supporters that went last week saw enough to be encouraged to come again.

Unfortunately, the true fickle nature of the 'loyal' Melbourne Demons supporters will rear its head this weekend.

We play Collingwood again reasonably soon in QB clash, which is OUR home game. Not sure if many Demons will turn up this week.

my guess is, 47, 500..

GO DEES!!

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
