Crowd estimation next week v Freo

[dees189227 12,373]

So what crowd do you think will rock up at Etihad next week. I reckon around 10,000 or just a bit over. Im not expecting a big turnout.

Will be interested to see how we go next week. We never won at etihad under Bails and im sure Neeldy will address our issues at the stadium.

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

12k or similair to the wce game last year. And I reckon we are a sneaky chance with so many coming back in in some decent form!

[deeflog 679]

a BIG cheque coming the AFL's way next week

9,000

[DEELIRIOUS 156]

Also they better not close the top deck cos realistically its the only good seat at Etihad!

[Pipefitter 2,151]

11,095

[old dee 23,782]

950 - Players familes and freinds

5000 Members who would go to the opening of a MFC memo

3000 Freo fans

Total 8950

[BIG JIM 508]

[Jonesbag 487]

After the 30 melbourne supporters that rocked up against richmond wo knows? Maybe 10 people might go to this game?

[Prof 15]

44 plus coaches and support staff

[Pates 9,660]

If we crack 16000 I will be impressed, and this is the AFL's fault for giving us home games at this crap hole.

Melbourne marketing team should've been working around the clock to think of ways to get people through the gate. Discounts on sponsor/club apparel, $1000 big screen pick out comp, free hat (for those South Park fans here!).

The team isn't giving us much of a reason to go, so the club should be thinking creatively about this one.

[Biffen 12,940]

23,341

[old dee 23,782]

23,341

I did not realise it Biffen but you must also believe in the Father Christmas, the easter Bunny and the Tooth fairy.

The crowd on Saturday was 46 700 and at least 26 000 of those were Tigers

If the crowd is above 12 000 at death park I will be amazed

16,000-18,000. Melbourne supporters just simply do not like Etihad. We`ve done pretty well so far to break even with 20,000 against GWS at the MCG, this is the AFL`s fault no doubt. Somebody burn Etihad.

[daisycutter 29,606]

Somewhere not far off 15,000

[Whispering_Jack 29,840]

I'll be there with my son and two grandsons one of who celebrates his sixth birthday on the day of the game.

I hope some Demon fans turn up to keep us company and the team duly wins for the lad's sake.

Perhaps Freo could organise the orange rent a crowd who GWS use for a crowd and dress them up in purple.

So you don't like this boy WJ?

Taking him to the house of death on his birthday.

The poor kid will a Pies supporter inside the next year after that treat.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, but I've also got bad news for you - MFC sent out an email a couple of months ago and it said top level would be shut.

I'll say 12k - if we could get 15,740 last year post-186 I'd be appalled if we were 3k under that now even if Freo bring less fans than WCE.

It is on the MFC website today top deck is closed

Facebook were giving away tickets this morning....not a lot of interest from what i read!!

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

It'll be below 15k.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,593]

A routine Melbourne basher at work says he thinks it will be the lowest turnout at a game in 30 years. Since its at etihad he is probably right.

I reckon we'll beat the crowd of 6875 (GWS vs West Coast) comfortably! By 'comfortably' I mean 9/10000 through the gates!
