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.

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 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

Geez that a bit strong ... hate? You will be right have a few for me ... Go dees

We should all get together for a drink soon...

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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
