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.

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.

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

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

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!

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
