Fans will be allowed onto the MCG arena after this Sunday’s game against Gold Coast, as a way of thanking us supporters this year.

Will this be enough to bring in the crowd? The weather looks like it will be favourable.

I’m predicting 16,500 (I was going to say 15,000)

14,500. Pathetic, like always.

I wish the only thing I got embarrassed about at games as our team's performance, but sadly no, the lack of supporters is just as bad.

Even nostradamus couldn't pick what our weird,retro and eclectic bunch of supporters will bring this week ... Thats what we should love bout our supporter base. What other club can claim variety?? Were all fickle to some extent, & as a loyal fan,member,etc,etc, even I've been battered and bruised this yr but am ready to face the music again and miss another bumper ski season.

I look forward to being branded "fair weather-bandwagon jumper" in a few years time.

Not enough to break even I'm afaird. 15,000ish if we're lucky. Probably closer to 12 or 13.

Considering that the Chinese AFL team will be there and some more International Teams i think that 15-20k is achievable at best. A nice surplus is always welcome.

17500, the extra 2.5k as a combination of a (presumed) easy win and it being the last home game of the year.

Not quite sure Jaded why you are so upset.

Crowd support is always determined by how a team is travelling.

It is not peculiar to the Dees.

When you have had the season we have had particularly the last 5 weeks I am not surprised at all.

I am an addict and I considered if I would go on Sunday.

The prospect of being beaten by GC is a real possibility.

Add to that all the negative stuff of the last month

and getting beaten last week by the tigers.

All adds up to a crap end of season.

I have 2 member friends who have tossed it in for 2011.

I will be going on my own this week.

I don't blame them our team stinks at present

This may be their only way of expressing their displeasure.

I think 18915

Hoping for a win, will be my last game for a long time. Moving to Canada so will definately try to snag a few on the ground afterwards. Bringing a few mates for my going away drinks!

My last game for a while too. Getting moved for work in November.

I'm going but really...it's pretty damn tough to even get mildly excited in these last few games. At least there's a couple of new players to watch.

I can't blame people for not showing up this year. Even these 'sure things' are likely to be a nail-biting disaster that can ruin your week.

Least inspiring season I can remember in my 32 years. :mellow: ...and watching Collingwood wipe the floor with Freo tonight, I just can't imagine anyone in this current crop getting us anywhere near that level of footy. Even their first year player Fasolo is turning out to be better than 90% of our team... What the hell! How does that happen?

We'll be lucky to get this number - but I'm going with 17,560.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
