    Absolutely. More bums on seats. If 30,000 Demon members and 10,000+ Victorian AFL supporters don't turn up for this one i will be suprised.

    You've gotta be kidding me.

    If I wasn't a Melbourne supporter there's no way I'd consider going to this game.

    Spot on, we're actually going to be lucky to get 15 K to this game I reckon. There were 2 matches in Melbourne the whole weekend just gone and Dogs v Port drew 16 K.

    Unbelievably the AFL have managed to schedule 4 of 6 matches in Melbourne this weekend and the NM v Adelaide game is on at the same time. On top of this the weather forecast is ordinary and we are following on from Queens Birthady where some of our 'supporters' would have already shown up for their only game of the year.

    The folks predicting 35k-40k for this game are in la la land.

    23k at the absolute maximum.

    Absolutely. What about the ones predicting 50,000 ! What land do they reside in ?

  • Quote

    30,000 MAX

    im expecting around 20-25,000 which isnt all that bad really considering the ladder position with an interstate team that has 3 supporters

    Whilst it's not quite like Carey/Crows vs Archer/Roos, for an avid footy fan that likes the potential for a bit of spite and vitriol, I consider it rather appealing.

    I expect these people to make up at least 10% of the crowd.

    Not kidding.

    As far as stereotypes go, the snow's a pretty good one. I'm a rubbish snowboarder but I'm there most winters with the thousands of other people loving life. How can you not dig the snow? The snow is amazing.

    Won't be seeing me in a landrover though. You bunch of soccer mums.

    I've never been to the snow.

    MItch Clark is way ahead of Scully and with the compo picks it has turned out rather well for us

    Scully will probably be a gun all the same though, few more pre-seasons and he could be something else entirely. But then I'd put Jack Viney in the same basket as well, I'd love to see those two play on each other come to think of it.

    I want to see Melbourne trade for players with more hardness and See You Next Tuesday in them as opposed to yet another fancy twinkle-toes player like Scully or in the past those like Cam Bruce. Magner has been a revelation, Tapscott is a brute and Mitch is not the shy and retiring type either - these guys win you finals.

    Meh, Sheeds being Sheeds.

    Oh, and I went to the snow once when I was 9.... with my family who all support Collingwood.

  • Quote

    Ha! Sheedy! you old bastard! You have to admit he is great for the game!

    He is egotistical and full of BS but don't let that fool you. He and Choco have done a fantastic job at GWS. They have instilled something in the players already that we and Mark Neeld realise is desperately short at the Dees. They play with real desperation and belief. As much as we may rail against the formation of this club and their aggressive recruiting, they will flourish. Yes, they got Scully, but his loss was the least of our problems. Due to draft concessions they will also have a list which far outstrips us for talent. Whether we like it or nor we are going to have to get used to playing against a very talented and hard-at-it side. I pray that we beat them on Sunday.

    The MFC should release a statement after a survey of members.

    MFC dispels rumours of snow going activities amongst supporters.

    After surveying its members , the Melbourne football club has found that less than 15% of its members go to the snow on a regular basis.

    Only 29% had been to the snow at all, in any capacity.

    This should put an end to anyone associating us with the snow ever again.

    We can now point to the survey results of our member base to once and for all dispel the myth.

    I think you are very close to the mark BB

    The thing about this tread that surprises me is the number of people who have taken the bait.

    Sheedy throws out a line to bait us and wham in we come calling him all the names under the sun.

    He is doing his job beautifully.

    This will be IMO a close run thing.

    GWS is a better side in their first year than many thought.

    On the other hand the Dees are very ordinary.

    Richmond easily accounted for us and they struggled with GWS

    I expect we will win but not by much, 5 points is my prediction.

    God help us if we lose.

    Sheedy will not be able to stop laughing for a week

    Good on Sheeds for trying to whip something up

    The snow report is not that promising anyway

    Better later in the season when conditions are better.

    wont be there working as usual but hope to be able to catch the game on the screen

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
