not a bad crowd.....

i did hear a sydney fan behind me say that even though we have less fans then collingwood and the other strong membership sides we are close to the loudest

hope its true

I've seen quite a few people saying the same thing. When Green kicked that toe poke goal, the MCC Members went crazy.

After the last three years if you cannot yell now when can you!

I think e25 is close to the mark the whole round was less than expected.

GP had an effect, my daughter and son in law went along with two of my friends.

There has been a lot on in the last 6 weeks and the $ only goes so far.

I went to the GP on saturday Cans were $6.50, you run out of money long before you get drunk

even at my tender age!

I think our attendance was as good as anyone all things considered.

Careful, it's not healthy to agree with me too much.

$6.50 for a beer?

Mind you, I ran a bar at the Avalon Airshow back around 2000 or 2001 and the cans were selling for $6 a pop back then, woodstocks were $9!

Daylight robbery, yet the lines were immense.

For who e25? then again mine is probably in more danger!

As for the long lines just shows how many [censored] pots there are in Aus.

but couldn't believe sk-geelong only getting 40k.

I couldn't believe it myself , the stands look empty when the player ran onto the ground .

Still , with the Aints boring as Bat5hit game plan , only the diehards would want to watch .

Curious to know if next weeks game being Sunday twilight, will that impact on people going to the game?

I for one was looking forward to going, but am now only 50-50, because of this fixture. (I get up at 3 a.m on the Monday.)

I for one ain't going because of the time if it were 1 or 2pm I would, but being 2 hours from the city makes it too late getting home especially if I want to take the kids! Pretty sure it's live on fox sports also!

I'm glad it's not our home game because Sunday twilight games are dead zones, especially for families with young children. It's an awkward time.

However we played Hawthorn at the same time slot last years, when both teams were vying for the 8 and the crowd was pretty decent, despite it being damp and cold.

Of course nothing will stop me from going... I've waited far too long to not feel guilty about giving Bruce sh*t B)

We got over 30,000 so we made some sort of profit. I was sitting second level and I have never ever heard the crowd so electric for Melbourne in many many years.

I had shivers even before we hit the front.

I think it seemed louder in those memorable Freo and Bris games.

That said, in the last quarter the crowd came alive.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
