12,500.

If we're lucky.

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?

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.

12-15,000 at best

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.

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.

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.

    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.
