Tomorrow's crowd numbers

Featured Replies

 

It might boost crowd numbers by a fee thousand, 10k at an absolute maximum.  I think 40k is a reasonable expectation regardless.

Great idea. 1,000+- people moving into Melbourne every week, we should be targetting specific areas regularly. The club holds a significant advantage. 

It's name. 

 

The Saints have only played three away games in Melb (ES) - Pies, Norf and Dogs. The average attendance is around the 32k mark (36,650 against the Pies). Saints supporters don't travel. 

I think a crowd of 35k tops - 25k Dees, 10k Saints.

When did we play them at MCG last?

 

50k or more, I'd guess.

Season on the line for both clubs, plus the targeted giveaway, plus the easily planned for / family friendly sunday timeslot, and good weather.

 

Haven't missed a Demons game in Melbourne this season and I don't plan to start now. Might drag along a couple of North/Richmond supporting mates for a some extra numbers if we're desperate.

Im assuming we can get these at the ground? Im coming with my wife and was intending on buying a GA ticket for her.

No. They have been distributed to targeted groups such as migrants and tourists that have shown interest in AFL. They're not giving them away to randoms. 


great initiative by the club.  They know we are on the rise and will be far more likely of picking up new supporters as opposed to the last decade when we havve been rubbish

There was actually a link which you could use to obtain tickets, but said ''allocation exhausted" the first time I saw it, and now doesn't work at all.

Probably no thanks to leaches like this...

Scumbags. Sad that people are taking the [censored] out of a great idea.

I will have to remind any saints fans who brag about the free tickets that we felt sorry for them given they can store their premiership cup collection on a bedside table!

Bang! Nailed it LG.

Sounds like a successful move.  I wonder if the Club was selling 1 match season tickets for a song after the match? Would be a great way to get more people on the mailing list for 2018.

There was a long line outside the membership tent 30minutes before the game so there must have been something similar happening.

Is the club already selling 2018 season memberships? 

 

50k+ was a great crowd. One of the ladies in the office is new to Australia and took up the offer with a bunch of her friends. She'd never been to a game before and she really enjoyed it. Hopefully we'll convert her to an AFL fan but more importantly to a Dees fan.

Well done Dees!

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
