Im not expecting a huge crowd. I reckon anywhere between 10 and 20 thousand and we will have to write out a big cheque to the AFL. Another thing for the CEO and board to worry about.

    After winning last week I am on a roll but I reckon you are close to the mark

    13890.

    I reckon there are 5000 Eagles fans visiting and living in melbourne.

    Everyone of them will be smelling an easy win and will turn up.

    That leaves the Dees with 8890. Seems a lot but I will stick to my number.

    I would hope for a lot more than this.

    While we cant expect 35,000 members to rock up - surely we can show unity with more than this.

    Maybe some injuries, WC away from home (they have been good this year away I appreciate), last chance to show that we can actually compete with a club who is decent this year. Lets get behind them!

    [i know - it is almost impossible to imagine that we will be competitive - but I cant go through the whole week acknowledging we will get smashed again - stand up MFC!]

    I doubt we had more than 10 000 at the G last saturday, where I was we did not have 25% of the crowd.

    I cannot see more than that at the house of pain where most of us have to pay to get in.

    But what is your guess?

    The week of turmoil & grieving is over. We should be a bit more competitive this week. Unfortunately, Etihad is not good - crowd 15,000.

    12-15,000 at best

    I'm never sure which is better. A small crowd at Etihad to show the AFL that Melbourne members will not turn up to that ground, even for home game, or a large crowd to show the AFL that Melbourne deserves to play all its home games at the MCG because it can draw a crowd.

    Nevertheless, I'll predict 14,250.

    Yip I'm not confident ... but I will be there. Just hope we dont get out supported in Victoria.

    I been to Subiaco many, many times and thats hard enough ... but never the less always enjoyable even if we dont win. But for it to happen in Victoria ... geez that would not be good as a sign of things to come. Especially from an AFL point of view ... but such is life.

    So I'm going for 29,978 I hope.

    16000, that'll be a good turn out in my books. I hate the joint, a few Melbourne mates arn't going because they hate it that much. I'll go to support the boys but no frigging way am I paying a dime in there.

    As I posted in the other thread, 15,732.

    Not one more.

    Lucky to get 12,000 there.

    Serious mistake by the AFL to fixture us a home game at Etihad.

    It's ridiculous.

    I seriously expect more West Coast supporters to be there than Dees supporters.

    I'll never go to that stadium again...

    although I might make an exception if it were a final featuring MFC.

    does anyone know the financial implications?

    I know we have a good deal at the MCG - I assume we get the same Etihad deal as teams like North or the Dogs.

    Mac7 this is serious depression.

    There will be more than that many Eagles.

    Try a good bottle of red that should help!

    hehehehe ... AFL gives nearly ever Victorian club a game there if they are not great crowd pullers.

    Sorry. but we all got to do our fair share in 2011. You just wont win this debate with the AFL ... like it or lump it we have to live with it.

    Yeah your right, bit pessimistic. I'll change mine to 3,483.

    We have over 36,000 Members why will the crowd be so low. Cant wait to hear all the excuses.

    Did we draw less than 10k to match at Optus Oval in the 90s against West Coast?

    I'll go 12,033.

    That was rd 4 2002 out at Princes Park, 9000 came to the party. Won by 6 goals.

    I can't see how we'll crack 10k this week. They'll probably close level 3.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
