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!

    950 - Players familes and freinds

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

    3000 Freo fans

    Total 8950

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

    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
