Guess the crowd this week

[stranga 328]

Given our form, previous turnouts at etihad, and the fact its live on foxtel, i say 14k.

[Range Rover 1,935]

19,944

[Jaded No More 68,966]

I'll be there... again. I clearly hate myself

Would say 14k is a generous figure sadly.

[Wolfmother 182]

I will be surprised if we break five figures...

I hate that stadium and refuse to attend

[old dee 23,799]

I do too but I am waiting to see the sides before I make a final decision.

[Rogue 585]

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

They decided weeks ago to close level 3 for this game.

[praha 11,240]

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

- Large number of MCC members are club members. They don't venture away from the MCG, especially considering members have to pay to get in this week.

- Etihad is rubbish

- We've just lost by 186 + 76 points

- It's Etihad

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

10k guarenteed. No way over that. We hate going to Etihad to watch games, [censored] ground, no atmosphere, in the middle of nowhere, no parking, we just got smashed, club is at lowest ebb, too many supporters aren't true enough to still rock-up, its Etihad, Eagles is a top 4 side. The season is now over unless a miracle occurs on Sunday. There that's all the reasons i can think of.

It's a home game, entry is included for all members including 3 and 5 game members, assuming they haven't already used their entitlement.

[Tigers Dayz 2]

Because 50% of them live in regional Victoria and not in the suburb (sic) of Melbourne. That's our demographic.

Oh yes, 13,002. My wife and I will come down from Wangaratta.

well here goes

- got belted by them earlier in the year.

- have lost to every one of the top 6 teams by 10+ goals

- have not won at Eithad since adam played fullback for Jerusalem.

- I doubt there was more than 10 000 Dees at the G on saturday.

- dees traditionaly stay away fron ES

- looks good snow this weekend

so add all that together and we will struggle to get more than 8000 plus Eagles supporters.

How is that!

[dee-eee 231]

In the early years of the stadium we had clearly the second best record there behind original home tenant,Essendon. Top sides dont have hoodoos ! Pluses for me include its proximity to Southern Cross, closeness of most seats to the playing surface and for most Away games only $20 un-ticketed General Admission. If you make the effort to attend this Sunday you will at least be guaranteed a prime close-to-the- front balcony seat !

the solution is very simple

"Start winning games"

and the crowds will come.

add an occasional win at ES would help.

also make sure the game is not over at quarter time

Dont tell me we have to put up with "off to the snow" references on our OWN fan site. I've been an MFC member for 38 years and an MCC member for 44 and couldnt name an aquaintance who is partial to such activities let alone drives a Range Rover. The Couldabeens have a lot to answer for !

[45HG 1,544]

The best is when MFC supporters buy into paying out MCC/MFC fans.

I sit in the MCC every week, and the crowd is almost always quite good in the MCC. As for the rest of the ground (which is quite easy to see)...

don't lose your sense of humour

as we don't have a lot else left.

I may be a little thick but I do not understand what you are trying to tell me.

Please explain!

[Bitter but optimistic 22,242]

It will be a good game to attend - no trouble getting a good seat or a beer.

A little sampler of crowd numbers for the next 5 years of Scully's career?

now be nice RR we will get bigger crowds over the next five years

[Hiram Cowfreak 78]

I would never consider going to this hole usually but I am thinking about it this time...remember Jamar kicking 5 against Carlton a few years ago...play him in the forward/ ruck with Maxie, put SME at Full Back..maybe Fitzy on the bench
