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

People are legitimately disillusioned with the game

Lets hope the appeal is successful

    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

    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.

    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.

    I expect a really good turnout especially now with jack let off. We are coming off a great win, we can beat the bulldogs, its for a great cause and its our home game. Lets cheer loudly for them and especially Jack.

    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.

    We also lost the match.

    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

    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.

    mmm im gonna go with a crowd of 53000 minus me , stuck in the bush but hope to get to the tiggers game , oh and us by 23 points :)

    And the night that person we do not speak of racked up 18 posessions in the last quarter?

    hasn't gone close to doing it since

    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.

  • Quote

    I'll be there with my pink-accented outfit. Thinking the crowd will be somewhere between 33 000 & 45 000, dependent on the weather.

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

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
