13,342 For North Melbourne vs P.A



Recommended Posts

Tonight North Melbourne budgeted for 31,000 and got 13,000. Expected to lose about 150,000. Thank god it was lower than ours. Does anyone know how much we would of lost against the crows when we budgeted I think 20,000 and got 14,000?

We still have plenty of time to break that record wide open with MCG home games against Port Adelaide, Fremantle and West Coast as well as a home game against Sydney in Canberra.

BTW, what crowd did they get at Carrara today?

Official crowd: 10,294 according to the AFL website match report.

Thats not too bad for 2 visiting teams..

They've got potential, the Gold Coast.

I wonder if it would be an Idea for US to sell one home game for 2011 + 2012 only to the Gold Coast, provided it's played either Friday or Saturday Night on free to air TV, in JULY, mid Winter. We'd probably win on the Field & also in the bank???

A good little get away W/E.

Good point, all those 4 games are from Rounds 14-20 as well, so they could all be disasterous crowds.

I don't think the one in camberra will matter too much though.

North Melbourne had a win. Unbelievable on a saturday night, no excuses for 13000 odd.

Agree, saturday night with the roof closed perfect conditions and we still beat that on a sunday evening at the G in horrible weather. Wonder if the media will get off our backs then for once and instead ask where all the North supporters were.

Melb v. Adelaide at the G on a Sunday at 4:40 was never going to get over 14k. I'm surprised we got even more than that (even though I guessed 25k+).

But 13k for a Saturday night game is TERRIBLE. Has to be the worst crowd for a night game ever. We will get 15-18k for the games against Port/Freo/WC

It is interesting that this chestnut raised it's head just after the NSW said there was no money for WS at the moment. Short answer to the question is no. There is a big agenda out there and the only way to stop it is to start making a continual profit.

Having said that I'm in two minds about the plight of the Kangas. I don't want to see a real (read: VFL) team in trouble but I also think that it a case of better you than me.

In the newspaper it says it got 14,342, But on the AFL website it says 13,342. Yeah and by smallest crowd this year I probably didn`t mean to include games at the gold coast. I meant at Melbourne stadiums. MCG and Etihead. I think Our next 3 games at the G against interstate teams we should promote the game in Casey and also Kick on the G after the game just to try and break even. Just to let you know when these next 3 games will come its Round 14 WCE, Round 15 P.A and Round 20 Freo.

Yeah exactly why we should promote those games more. Against Sydney no problems we will make money from that. Anyone know how much money we make in that one game playing in Canberra against Sydney?

I feel the same way. When our crowds are low, it's: 'where are the Melbourne supporters'. When North has trouble pulling crowds, it's: 'oh, poor North, they need help'. Not that I want to see them die, but they really should get the same treatment from the media that we got after the Adelaide match, and that we will get after the Freo, WCE and Port matches this year.

We get $250,000 for the Canberra game. It's a flat rate regardless of attendance as I understand it.

Basically, the ACT government is paying for the chance to remind everyone that Canberra exists outside the parliamentary triangle.

The morons still haven't figured out that they should probably upgrade Manuka oval - nothing beats sitting in the open in a Canberra winter - you can get sunburnt and frostbitten in the same afternoon. It's a magical experience!

And as for the 13,342 for North... it's already been said here but I need to join this chorus - we get more than that to a Sunday twilight game in utterly miserable weather, compared to a saturday night indoors... and it's not as if we're playing any better than North this year.

It gives we no pleasure to think that the North Melbourne revival is starting to stutter a bit. I'm just immenseley relieved that we already have the money in the bank from Debt Demolition and the AFL/MCC deal, plus the two solid sponsors for multiple years. And 30,000+ members already signed.

Kick at the G is a great idea, but I have heard that it can only be done for the last game of the round at the MCG (and as long as it isn't wet, and the ground conditions are good). So I think that means we can do it for Fremantle, Port Adelaide and West Coast as they are all last games at the MCG for the round. I think the crowd in The Age was a mistake.

Steve, that used to be the case, but over the past few seasons that has been restricted to...never.

We were lucky to talk the MCC into letting us have the run on the turf after last year's Freo match, not sure we'll get it again.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
