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.

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    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
