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 !

  • Quote

    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!

    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

    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

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
