I know with past performances it is going to be hard to fill the MCG but can we pull together and make sure that if we know of anyone who is a supporter encourage them to make it to the game on Sunday. Otherwise it will be like a morgue (hopefully not). The boys have in the past have commented on what it is like when we supporters make a lot of noise. Get round them on Sunday.

Kind of getting sick of these, "I know the club isn't performing better but let's get out there and support the boys" threads.

Most people have already made up their minds. The pity and sympathy around here is getting too much to handle.

During the first half last Saturday, it didn't sound like a crowd of 18,000-odd.

Then again, neither did the second half......

13,980 is my prediction, given the forecast for rain.

Can I triple like this

MCG are expecting 17,000 and that sounds about right

Games against interstate clubs always sound loud ... at least for the small crowd. Good that Melbourne fans sit so close together in one half of the ground. From AFL Members it sounds very loud.

It is not pity or sympathy. It's called support.

What do you suggest they do? If people don't attend, then the club is in deeper trouble financially and those players who are giving their all (yes, there are some) will start to doubt the value in doing that.

I think I read in the footy record last week that the public can have a kick on the G at the end of this match. That might attract a few more along - especially the kids.

No reason for us to wait til the end of the game.... we should be able to rustle up 22 team jumper owning supporters to throw in from the first bounce.... at least there would be an excuse for not knowing the game plan

I'm a sadist, I'll be there. I reckon 16k will be about it, although with GWS injuries we may get 20k as people may show up to possibly see a win......maybe........

The players and coaching staff have some control over the crowd at our next home game.

But not this one. 16k.

Never been into not turning up to a game, but each to their own, and as I am in Hobart and for various reasons I will not be getting to many games who am I to talk anyway. I would urge people to turn up though. There is always something to support, even if it is only one of our kids that you really like.

I can't bear the thought of the crowd number on the Mother's Day twilight game v's Gold Coast...if we're 0-6.

I reckon they'll be lucky to get 15 v GWS. There was a good number of west coast fans that jacked the number to 18k.

Should see if Webjet can offer a cut price fair Sydney Melbourne return....might be the only way to break 15K

11,587

I predict an attendance of 10000. And half of those will have left at 3/4 time

I believe from a previous source that anything less than about 22500 we write a check to the mcc

That is two checks in two weeks That is how clubs go out of business

11,125

12, 484

If we win, the fans should be able to go on the ground and throw tomatoes at a caged Tom Scully in the centre.

If not, bring a SIGN HERE SCULLY sign (Double meaning).

Or just bring your money bags and shout at him during the warm up.

But please do turn up, I have my deepest sympathies

12,000.
It will be an abysmal match by two of the worst football teams in decades.

Ill be there and well smashem'
