Crowd Prediction

I think we will see a strong Melbourne following today, as well as a good noise in the crowd

I`m gonna say 42,156

I hope you are wrong we need 72,000 +

52,981

The 2 clubs combined membership closed at over 82,000 last year. This is the first round, a good day and the only match on in Melbourne. Less than 50,000 is a massive fail.

Ideally I'd like to see 60,000 but that will probably have to wait until next year

I like how you think

funny story for you guys,,,,i'm taking a chick on a date to the footy...2nd date actually...she's a mad cats supporter...she went to the game last night but she's coming with me today. i told her she's going for melb...she said maybe...i told her she can wear my melb scarf and she said not a chance....i said,,,well then we can get your face painted in melb colours if your going to act like a kid,,,she loved it...hopefully it's a good date, melb win and i get three votes :)

GO DEES!!!

We need that? Why?

You know that a figure of 72,000+ would have put this game in the top 10 as far as crowd numbers for a H&A match in 2009, right?

Based on 2009 figures, that's 6K more than Collingwood v Hawthorn, 8K more than Geelong v Hawthorn, 10K more than Melbourne v Collingwood (all at the 'G).

Anything over 55,000 would be a brilliant result, given that the only game in 2009 that was over 55,000 and didn't include one of Collingwood, Essendon or Carlton was the much-anticipated round 17 Geelong v Hawthorn game.

Excluding our games versus Collingwood and Essendon, our biggest crowd in 2009 was under 41K, and that was an away game versus Richmond (39K versus Richmond at 'home').

 

We need that? Why?

Simple because we need to stop making excuses.

- stop caring about the weather

- stop caring about how we are playing

- stop caring about what ground we are playing at

- stop caring about what day & time we are playing

When your supporters start becoming your problem not the solution - the AFL will punish you.

'We'? All of those apply to every team's supporters (AFL or otherwise).

Regardless, 72,000 is unrealistic.

You damn well better go to every game this year, then. Oh, by the way, have you got your ticket to Darwin yet? After all there are no excuses for not going to a home game . . .

Not everyone is as passionate about Melbourne as us. The key is just to improve the ratio every year. As long as we're improving, we'll one day get there. It's when we go backwards that we are in trouble.

Thats exactly the point chook ... we wouldn't be forced to sell our HOME games to Darwin if people turned up to the MCG.

But "Melbourne Supporters" wont even do that!!!

Personally I hope its enough to hold the fixture. I fear the alternatives much more.

However, if the AFL take it off us we only have ourselves to blame.

Perspective:

Geelong Essendon friday night, 57,000 members.

Pretty happy for 45000, for two teams who didn't make the finals last year. It was also the game that was apparently the most easy to predict for the round. 50k would have been fantastic, but 45 is pretty good.

Hold what fixture??? I don't think we're going to lose the right to play Rnd 1...

OK deep breath everyone and calm down.

You "kiddies" have just got no idea how AFL football works ... you got no idea. :wacko:

YOU ARE SO RIGHT----AND SOME ARE NOT JUST KIDDIES but act accodingly.How can someone like Roost it think we can get 32000 members with games like the opening NAB cup game where we performed similar in our opening match against Hawthorn- pathetically. Roost it also thought we should get 82000 odd - endng up going for 52 981 leaving a deficit of 8366- revenue loss @100.00 ea of $83 660.These supporters just have no idea of the pathetic way our team is performing and our football department is just an out right disgrace regarding performance. I know alot get upset with me and my views but most just cannot handle the truth.If they sat down and analysed the coaching panel as such they would then realise how week we really are- how can this club expect much more. And handpassing in the backline or short kicks is a coaching disgrace. I havealso suggested we get a kicking coach- well after this match I think I must have now 28000 odd agreers.

Hangon 007 and Yze Magic are about the only sensible ones...see you in about 6 years time Dees.Sorry DAPPA Dan sometimes

Read my post I never said we would get 82,000 you are delusional. I firmly believed that a crowd of under 50,000 was a failure and I stand by that. The first round disappointed me enough without you misreading another of my posts and then carping on about a revenue loss. I stand by my prediction that we will get 32,000 members. We keep selling memberships until June.

  • 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.
