Why is it always the case that Melbourne's home games are played in shocking weather (especially when we're playing an interstate team)? Yesterday was sunny and inviting, hence 60,000 people went to the footy.

Edit: 9.38: Blowing a gale, bucketing down, not exactly warm. Brilliant.

Looking out the window...hmmm. Somewhere in excess of 3. Assuming Dad is still coming and bringing his mate.

Just checked, yes Dad and his mate still coming...so yes a crowd somewhere in excess of 3

Cold, windy & wet - 15,135

Looking at the weather now I reckon we'll be lucky to get 12,000.

16500, im going, go demons.

Weather update: 10:21: Still blowing a gale, but the sun is now out. That's Melbourne for you. If it stays like this then maybe we'll get more than 12,000.

What time is the curtain raiser today?

Can't wait to see big Nicho again!

11:30?

This could break the record for lowest attendance ever.

Weather is not that bad, it's not even raining, but knowing our supporters, they'll stay at home and watch the game live on Foxtel (what is with that, two weeks running our game has been against live pay TV?!)

I'm going with 11,980 and hoping that I'm 10,000 off!

Edit: it's now raining so drop the 11,000 and go with 980 :D

12,000

The return of Jurrah to the field has brought with it a Jurrahcane

Shut up! :angry:

I face palmed myself ok?!

OK. It's 11:26 and the rain has just stopped for the time being. It's still pretty abysmal out there.

The lowest ever attendance at the MCG is 3,614, which was at a (you guessed it) Melbourne home game! Melbourne v Hawthorn, 1931. We couldn't possibly set a new record low. Could we?

The lowest attendance in the past 10 years is 11,682, at Hawthorn v Port Adelaide in 2004. That may well come under threat today.
