    A legion was generally considered to be around the 3300 to 3500. 

    So that means about 10 legions R and B

    Seems a lot more variable according to Wikipedia --- somewhere between 1,000 and 5,000 depending on when. So fittingly for some AFL crowd figures, there is some room for variability there.

    I was at the Dee's last finals game, back in 2006 at Subiaco Oval. 

    That day we only had around 2,000 supporter at the game. The Shockers had around 40,000 of their supporters there. My father was a member of the Shockers up until his passing around 10 years ago. I still has fond memories of singing our theme song to him over the phone every time the Dees beat the Shockers. That is until the time when he would no longer speak to me after our games.

    2006 was my first and only AFL finals game that I have see live and the last time my wife went with me to a football match. I also think it was the first finals match the Shockers had won.

    My best memery of the games was singing our theme song when the Dees ran on to the ground. The lady in front of me had to put her fingers in her ears, so I just had too sing louder. I love our theme song, and its even better when it annoys the opposition.

    I assume most of you guys and gals (not a 100% sure what Old Bitter is because of his avatar) will be attending our next finals game? Well give them a rowdy version of The Grand Old Flag for me if you are there at the game.

    GO THE DEES!

    I understood a Roman legion had between 3,000 to 6,000 men plus followers and auxiliary.

    Are the auxiliary legions like the interchange bench?

    What do you mean "hopefully" it will be correct either way.

    I think Redleg would prefer one correct way over the other ... ?

    No they are more like an WAFL player.

    Less pay and lesser working conditions but shorter seasons.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
