I have a number of very tasteful pink ensembles to choose from - some difficult decisions coming up.

you could just go buff, that should be pink enough

oh wait......just thought of a problem, pink and purple would ruin it

The Viney decision will;drop the crowd by about 5-8k

People are legitimately disillusioned with the game

Lets hope the appeal is successful

actually......it wont. groundswell and al that

This might be the biggest crowd we play in front of for a while, in terms of non-final or non-public holiday.

Every man and his dog are going.

The only game on in town this weekend.

50-60?

This should be the one game whereby a 50:50 decision to TV it or go; should be pushed to the latter.

MFC youngsters, unlike Collingwood, Hawthorn, Geelong, Richmond etc..., don't get to play in front of finals-density crowds. We owe em a taste.

Well, I made a snap decision yesterday to spend $300 and fly down after footy to watch the Dees play.

I was angry about the decision and I directed towards my savings...

Now I am not angry but I will still be there.

Going to be a good night of football after the BCNA event - I hope we can show something on the Saturday night stage.

Well just like most around here I'm jumping back on the bandwagon. Puke when I think of the Neeld days. Roos will continue to bring the very best out of the group. Hopefully gone are the days G. Lyon/C Connolly/Healy types have any influence within the decision making processes.

Not because of him IMO

It was the umpires dressed in Pink that looked identical to MFC players

I can still see Bartram kicking it to the umpire in the last quarter

I like to blame all the problems in my life on he who must not be named.

Gee, I hope we haven't got our hopes up too much. I'd be surprised (pleasantly, of course) if the crowd reaches 30,000. Being the only game in Melbourne over the weekend is an irrelevancy (OK, it might pick up a few hundred) and the Bulldogs have a very small supporter base.

I commend the two clubs on the Pink Lady initiative and hope that it swells the crowd. But while I'm optimistic in most things (I expect a win tomorrow), I'm not so optimistic to expect more than 30,000 at the ground tomorrow night.

As a guide:

In round 7 2010 for the same event/game, we got 45,000 so 50K isn't totally out of the question.

I'd say mid 30's should be a conservative estimation.

Last year we only got about 22,000 in round 14.

Hate to be the party pooper but

1) The Dogs were a top 4 team they won't pull as many supporters

2) at least 10k would've been part of the "Field of Women" and left before the match even stared. No doubt the weather would've played a part, and we will have them again this week but the "crowd" of 45k was probably realistically 35k for the actual match. Still goes to our coffers though so ill take it.

I was going to go but what's this field of sheilas stuff? It's still a blokes game isn't it?. Besides how can I win fashions on the field against sheilas? It's not fair. Especially if Demonland is the judge. Think I'll watch it with the lads.

Do it Bitty. You'll pull and extra 20,000 to the game if you front in your finest pink ensemble.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
