Pick the Crowd


Satan

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
