For a comparison on the twilight North got 22,000 against Brisbane (who draw some in Melb) at Etihad 2 weeks ago.

Against GWS (in a game slightly more positive than this) we got 20,000.

Late in the year last year against Gold Coast we got 18,000

So it's fair to say our chances of anywhere above 18,000 are slim, minus I'd say 4,000 for twilight footy makes 14,000 and maybe take a 1,000 off for Mothers day, most people who would want to go the footy could probably have finalised their mothers day stuff by then.

I'd be looking at 13,231 for the real crowd but the AFL might help us out and report it above 15.000 to save face.

    17500, I'm being a bit optimistic as well. I say this extremely rarely, but I agree with Caro, the AFL continually shaft Mothers Day where they could put a blockbuster on there and make a thing out of woman in the sport with free hand outs etc but instead decide to put one of the lowest drawing games of the year at the G. Makes and mockery of the day IMO.

    Does that mean they are shafting Good Friday as well?

    Well they're avoiding Good Friday, you can call that shafting I suppose but that's a moral reason. This one they clearly don't think there's any chance of money being in it, but they aren't even trying.

    And -1000 because rain is forecast.

    So, 12,231

    Is 22,000 too optimistic? After all the great G Ablett Jnr is playing.

    Sunday twilight , mothers day, vs gws

    = 12453

    Actually against GCFC so I reckon about 12,460. There'll be a few more to come and watch Ablett dominate.

    11240 if we are lucky

    Another large cheque to the MCC Thats how we go broke again!

    But I will be there even though it finishes at a wierd time!

    I guess they will close the Bull ring and short staff the other bars

    I like that idea - give all the mums a chockie or a flower or something! Or better yet, a voucher for a young strapping footy player to come and wash all those high windows we can't reach!! (ROFLMAO)

    15000 max (but I will be there!! maybe 15001!)

    11,500 legit but they might boost it a bit to save face. God forbid we're getting thrashed at 3/4 time I can't wait to see how few people are left.

    I'll give you $24,000 If we get 24,000 people through the gate.

    And I'll gladly take it :-)

    The only game I have ever been to specifically to see one player was to see G Ablett Sr. Can't remember who Geelong played, but it was out at Waverley in the mid-1980s. And he was very good that day playing in the midfield.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      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.
