The Dees need only 18000 fans in tomorrow to break through the 800,000 fans attending Melbourne games for the year 

That is a great resuot and should show the AFL , Ch 7 and the rest of the footy world that Melbourne has a large latent fan base waiting to explode. Should hopefully see us get some good fixturing for 2018 and shut up the naysayers about melbourne fans not attending games.

This will be brilliant considering the draw (sorry fixture) that the AFL give us. I am over playing the interstate teams and not getting the higher drawing Victorian teams. When was our last home match against "The Druggies". An absolute con job by the AFL. Give us home games against the stronger drawing teams and you will see an even larger increase. With our stronger team we now attract larger attendances with last week as example. Over 30k where years ago we averaged 18-20k. We are on the up and up. THEY (AFL/Channel 7) will take notice and be rewarded in future years. To quote Teddy Whitten - "stick it right up-em".

Yep to get just above 30,000 last week was a brilliant result

the northern side of the ground was well stocked

I was well stocked on the wing  SWYL.

Had the pleasure of saying hello to Ronald Dale also.

Anyone know any comparisons to other clubs? Its not a figure that means much to me on its own.

Did you get a reply though BBO?

Although it's a Collingwood home game I cannot believe that the MCC are only predicting 45k. I feel that there will be many more Melbourne supporters coming along for the ride in anticipation of playing finals. With the outs for Collingwood many of their supporters may not come but for such a match I would have thought 53-55k would be right. Time will tell.

Im with you. id be amazed if there were less than 50. Im going with 55. 

Pretty amazing when you consider we played games in Alice Springs, Darwin, Hobart, and Canberra.

RDB was having difficulties in getting back into the Jim Stynes Room. He was attempting the one that was locked. I graciously redirected him and received a friendly "thanks mate".

Only 45,000 expected, they're normally pretty close too. Let's smash these pieces of [censored]
