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

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

    Would say 14k is a generous figure sadly.

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

    I hate that stadium and refuse to attend

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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 !

    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)...

    mate it is just a joke.

    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!

    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

    • 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.
