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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
