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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
