Just wondering driving over from Adelaide next weekend for the game what sort of crowd do you think will be there considering possible debut of Viney, TOUMPAS, Dawes etc. would love to know if the TOUMPAS family are heading to Melbourne next weekend.if club flies in the parents for his first game you would think jimmy would probably know if he is playing or not . Hopefully crowd around 25 to 30 k.

First round of the year, it's at the G, we haven't lost yet and its potentially a winnable game. Plus Viney and the other new recruits.

I'd say somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000. I'd be very surprised if it were any large than that.

22,376 plus 2 :)

Flying over from Perth, have to see at least one game for 2013 where there is some hope of a win.

Really dont like feeling "alone" surrounded by feral Freo or WCE supporters at Subiaco..

Sucks watching your team get pumped and copping it from the morons in the crowd as well, at least at the MCG there is more red and blue to console with.

Hoping to get a few extra for round one, but Easter Sunday could hurt us.

I wonder what the record crowd is for an Easter Sunday game at the G with an interstate team involved. (I suppose it'd have to involve Melbourne)

Very, very low 20s. Possibly high teens. In fact, it could be so bad that we could be ahead in the last quarter and still be disappointed when the crowd flashes up.

However, you make your bed you lie in it.

We've been woeful for so long that we can't expect that many people to be looking forward to the game. Hopefully the team takes that opportunity away from people this year by playing spirited, determined, tough footy - forcing people to come and watch the mighty red and blue once more!

Edit:

I'll do my own research.

Wow. Going back to 2000 (As far as I can get crowd figures) only once has a match been played on the G involving an interstate side on Easter Sunday.

2007 Rd 2 - Western Bulldogs v Adelaide (5:10 pm) 27,199 (both teams coming off finals campaigns)

I'd also forgotten that we often got the Easter Monday game - against the Hawks or Cats (who now own it).

When I woke up this morning, the very first thought that drifted into my sleep-addled brain was that we're now coming into our seventh consecutive year of being a horrendous football side. That is honestly altogether too much, and it has definitely been reflected in our crowds.

We will get 30 plus there no doubt. It's round 1 and believe it or not some can't wait to see the dee's play.

Correct mate!

I would also be surprised if there weren't more than 30 people there! :)

We currently only have 27K membership.

it is Easter Sunday so no way will all members turn up.

Playing an interstate side so a couple of thousand Port supporters.

I reckon around 18000

I will be there but the MCC don't rate it and are offering multiple Pavilion passes to their members.

It will be a very long drive home Deeoldfart if the result is similar to last year.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
