I'm hoping for 75,000, but if it rains then i'd have to say 61,750.

From weather.com

65,000 for a sunny Jackless game

-5000 for rain

+5000 for Jack

= 65,000

I'm doubling my standard 34,000 for this one. But 68,000 has already been taken, so we're making it 68,020 (to include Jack's family and aunts and uncles).

64534....

Hope Jack's Sister gets a gig on the big screen.....

73,500.

That sort of figure would be disastrous.

In fact, anything under 65,000 would be.

Who cares if it's going to rain? Has anyone died sitting in the rain before? Bring a rain jacket and harden up!!!!

It's public holiday, Collingwood is playing well, Melbourne has shown glimpses and Jack Watts is making his debut.

(I'm not having a go at you, but we can't be looking at these sorts of figures and expect to keep this game going)

I agree with all your points Jaded, but unfortunately it says a lot about this club and its supporters, that we are a fickle lot and don't get behind it when the chips are down.

I for one will be there and can't wait for the game
