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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
