27,013 Highest attendance for a Melbourne v Gold Coast game - was Rd 1 of 2015 at the 'G.

Reckon we knock that off on Sunday? 

 

Yes, easily. 31,964 is my guess.

35,000 would be a good crowd.  157 of these are Gold Coast supporters.

Unlikely, I can't imagine that all their supporters would all turn up.

That would be a fantastic turnout if we got that number. We got just under 39,000 against the Saints and 30,000 against the Dogs. 

Edited by Dee Zephyr

Doubtful imo. I would pick 25k-28k. 

 

MCC predicting 27,000. They are usually pretty close

There wasn't that many of them when we played at Brisbane earlier in the year.

I love these games, good chance of a win, reasonable time, low numbers you can turn up 10 minutes before game and  sit almost anywhere. 22197 is my prediction.

i'll go 28k. can't see 30+k

Totally forgot about the 3:20. Might shave a few off especially if its cold, 28k sounds fair. 


Dragging my boyfriend along so make it 27,001. 13 GC supporters, 26,988 MFC supporters and 1 disgruntled partner.

A friend who barracks for the Tigers said that the only downside of barracking for them now than five years ago is the huge crowd that’s at each match these days and having to plan ahead. Each game is an event. No more just rocking up at the last moment

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
