I reckon Blues are good for around 30,000

You will probably get 2000 media ... who want to see blood and don't care what side its from ... B)

then there is us? Well on past performances I'm not confident. But, maybe this week may have woken a few up

I'm going for 15,000

Total ... 47,000 sadly not good enough.

    Would have said 63k but the rainy weather bring it back to 57k. Games going to be pumped all week, guaranteed entertainment from the media's perspective, i.e. Can the Dees rebound and regain their pride?

    And the Blues fans at feeling cockey enough to see us as lively but ultimately unsuccessful on Saturday. Allowing them the further gloat ...

    Big crowd.

    Any true MFC supporter should be keen to be at the G to see how the team we love responds...

    52,354 plus my family (3) which makes 52,357.

    There'll be plenty of Carltank supporters wanting to see the Blues romp away with a big percentage boost. I'm tipping they'll go home disappointed.

    CFC home game, say 40k Carlton

    MFC maybe 10k if lucky

    50k or so

    The 2:1 prediction from hangon was bad enough, but 4:1? Honestly? Ridiculous.

    For some context, 47K were there for our Friday night home game versus Carlton earlier in the year.

    Key being our home game. Carlton home game is a different kettle of fish.

    MCC will stay about the same, but far more Carlton supporters will show.

    And context is more based off other reports of the Hawthorn game, where people said we would have been lucky to have 10k.

    I was at the game and dispute that estimate; where you there? What do you think?

    You'll be lucky to get 5-10000 Melbourne supporters there.

    We'll see a few dees supporters come out of the woodwork who were big Viney fans in the 90s.

    This will be the weekend the true MFC supporters come to the fore. I've never anticipated a H&A match more in my life. The traditional bandwagoners will no doubt shirk the issue when the club truly requires their support. I've come to expect that of a large proportion of Melbourne supporters.

    I'm going to go the opposite to many and predict a lot of Melbourne supporters will show up.

    Be honest. Aren't you interested to see what happens this week?

    Given Carlton itself will draw 35,000 people, I'm tipping a crowd of over 60,000.

    MCG predict 45,000. I'll say 44,999

    i think a lot of MFC supporters will turn up...Why?

    Support Jimmy

    after Garry Lyon's dialouge on FC and MMM

    Tod Viney's presser....

    I think this week will pull a crowd...if it turns ugly the eagles game will be very sparse, but if the team does ok, then all is not lost onfield for 2011.

    55,000 +-

    Agreed.

    But I'll be there. God knows why. I hate this club right now, but I'm a sucker for pain (and also I've been promised alcohol afterwards) :P

    That sounds good WYL however

    The location needs to be away from Water, tall buildings, sharp implements, busy roads and Hardware Stores!

    After Saturday we need to be somewhere safe.

    I think 42000

    34000 Carltonians

    and 8000 demented Dees

    So who are the other 7999?

    Im travelling down for it . Question... can we get a heap of members to stick together in a certain area and create some sort of strong hold? CFC home game so im assuming a lot of DEES supporters will be rolling into the general admin areas. Lets organise a STRONGHOLD and be very VOCAL!!!! thoughts??

    Sorry to be negative but I have little confidence at the beginning of August

    Every game against a good side has ended in tears and been over by quarter time.

    What if there is little to be vocal about!

    Old Dee........ I didnt say we were going to win on sat . I hope like buggery we do though . What im saying is our backs are to the wall and we are getting smashed from pillar to post as a club . This is no fault of the supportrers like us . I was just suggesting that rather than sit in dribs and drabs amongst the throng we stick together and let our feelings be known.... strength in numbers...

    I know EGD I was just trying to injected a bit of humour.

    Not saying I have not been infected with agony like most on here

    but we all need to step back a little and remind ourselves it is only a game after all.

    Lets hope we make a game of it and have something to cheer about for a large part of the game.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
