It's why Melbourne supporters have the reputation as the weakest in AFL. A capacity crowd in a close game at the Dome is just as thrilling as footy at the G'.

Its because we cant get a damn ticket to the place mate thats why were hate it

[Je Roos Salem 661]

41,116 at the Dome. Shouldn't be under 40 thousand due to an Essendon home game.

I am not a weak Supporter-Just don't like being Ripped off by a soulless bucketload of concrete that is too small to be considered a "Real Ground" I Have to work anyway so i wish all Demon supporters a good night. Yell hard for the Boys. Encourage Jack & Liam.

We just might win (after what Sylvia said this week i expect the team to be switched on)

BBP, is that humour?

A close game in front of a packed house has just as much atmosphere as a normal game at the G. A close game at the G with half the fans has twice the atmosphere.

It's a horrible ground and I wouldn't belittle anyone for not going there.

THIS WHOLE MADNESS IN ONLY ATTENDING THE MCG IS COSTING THE CLUB. Ok I hate Etihead But I still go. What are you trying to prove by not going, It hurts the club, and It`s not as if the AFL are gonna knock down Etihead stadium just because its not as good as the G. I am fair to people who don`t go because they can`t make it but just because its not at the G is a pathetic reason. Someone delete all the posts by people saying I only attend the MCG, because if other clubs supporters read this then it gives us a terrible Image. I`m not having a go at ya but just if you can find in your heart to get there. Well then ............ Get there. Same goes with all Etihead haters. If ya can get there

THEN GET THERE

GO DEES

IMO, you're barely a supporter if you don't actually go along to the games and 'support' the team. It makes sense really. If you live in Melbourne and all that's stopping you from getting to games is grounds ripping you off, then that's the definition of weak. MCG's a rip off too, but I'm sure you make it to those games. Think about the food prices at the G. It's no different really from Docklands.

I'm thinking around 39,000, but I hope in the 40s.

[Rogue 585]

44,509.

PS. I doubt Jurrah's debut is going to add to the crowd in any significant way. Those who will be most excited that Jurrah is debuting are probably the type of fans that will have been attending the game anyway.

[Dannyz 2,345]

Can I buy general admission at the game tonight?

I often go to games & Have done since 1971, so you can think what you like...

[H_T 2,941]

just over 45,000 pretty good crowd. Pretty close Rogue.

[45HG 1,539]

As it was about to come up I said 46,000. Damnit, should've posted that!

[Binmans PA 26,498]

Healthy crowd. It was great to see and hear quite a few Melbourne people there tonight. Still hopeless to get into though. I don't remember it being that bad since the early Colonial Stadium days.

Yeah, prety good crowd.

I actually thought the turnout of Melbourne people seemed pretty poor though, but maybe it was just around me.

[biggestred 4,377]

would have been 60,000 at the g
