Unfortunately, it'll be between the late 20,000s and the early 30s. There's still too many Melbourne supporters that don't come to every game. Alright, buy a membership, but we also need them there on the day, otherwise we write out a check to the AFL every time.

    28,279 at the MCG.

    Congrats to montasaurus with 27,650

    I presume most dees fans and foot dept would be very dissapointed with this crowd. Apparantly they were hoping for 40,000 and with a Saturday fixture, a text message to members, an email to members, an add in the paper, and press conforence and article coverage throughout the week encouraging people to come, they would have not been overly happy when looking at the thousands of empty seats.

    Winners:

    Round 1: (H) Melbourne vs North Melbourne - 28,707 at the MCG - Nugget Jones (29,000)

    Round 2: (A) Collingwood vs Melbourne - 43,176 at the MCG - Azzkika (45,000)

    Round 3: (A) Port Adelaide vs Melbourne - 21,030 at AAMI Stadium - Carn Dees (21,091)

    Round 4: (A) Richmond vs Melbourne - 40,763 at the MCG - QueenC (41,000)

    Round 5: (H) Melbourne vs Adelaide - 14,129 at the MCG - AzzKika (16,000)

    Round 6: (H) Melbourne vs Geelong - 36,932 at the MCG - steveheals (36,922)

    Round 7: (A) West Coast vs Melbourne - 35,209 at Subiaco Oval - Carn dees (34,890)

    Round 8: (H) Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs - 28,279 at the MCG - montasaurus (27,650)

    Yeah the crowd was poor I thought. The 'threat' of rainy weather might have kept some at bay, but still, we need to be showing up to these Saturday games if we want to get more of them.

    blame it on the AFL members! Make the AFL write cheques in the future. they have 1/2 of the premium seats in the ground yet they are always empty!

    Disgraceful

    For me, that was the most disappointing thing on Saturday. Sitting there 30 minutes before the game, I really felt devastated as I looked around the ground. Fifteen minutes before the game started whilst it had improved a little, I knew the turn up was quite poor. Saturday at the 'G' too. Doesn't go well for fixturing Saturday games for the Dees.

    Why we should have at least had 35,000 approx:-

    * We were playing a top 4 side in the Bulldogs. Note* Should have been more Bulldogs fans too.

    * We'd played some exciting footy the previous week.

    * Saturday 2pm at the G.

    * Mark of respect to Dr Cordner prior to commencement of game.

    WE HAVE ONE MORE GAME AT THE G ON A SATURDAY (2pm) THIS SEASON:-

    Round 14: Melbourne v West Coast Eagles.

    FCS TURN UP!!!

    Really really poor turnout.

    Don't whinge that we get stuck with Sunday games, then not turn up on a perfectly good day for football.

    Those who didn't go missed out on a really good game where we showed plenty.

    While I thought we outnumbered the Dogs, there still weren't enough of us, which is the same old story.

    If our supporters are not a force, what chance does our club have of being one?

    What do we have to do to get our supporters to the game. It was Saturday, the weather was good (albeit they did forecast rain) and the team was a chance after last week. I watched Jimmy look around the stands whilst waiting for the team to come out and I could feel his pain. Even after texting the members to come and they still don't turn up. It is frustrating for us who do turn up but what must it be like to Jimmy who has put his life on hold to build up the club. Against Hawthorn it is going to be worse. It is no good whingeing about the twilight game etc etc. The team need to know that they have support. They need to hear that support and if all they hear is a whimper well if the club gets to that precipice again we will all know why. Why does Collingwood still get its members to turn up despite it playing woeful football. We don't have to act like bogan scum members but some of us could learn a lesson in being passionate about our team and that means turn up whether it is a twilight game rain, hail or shine. JUST TURN UP.

    here here,

    I had a good look around as well waiting for the teams to run out. Guess what - Reserved members seats in both sthern and nthern stand on the ground were lucky to be 30% full. Thats our problem people! it is these members that are good enough to buy memberships but never turn up. On sat I was glad to see 4 seats behind us full (1st time in 3yrs), hang on they were doggies supporters! I can't understand the selfishness of buying a reserved seat and never using it, thus locking another member out of this seat. DISCRACEFUL!

    The sooner a members reserve is opened the better!

    So to all those fairweathers who didn't turn up on sat = suffer, you missed a great performance and get used to more sunday games next year.

    Yeah, well said. We simply have too many fair weather supporters. Mind you there are tones of people that say they 'support' Melbourne, yet never come to games.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
