Round 1 Crowd Prediction

I'd hope that we go past the 40,000 mark on the back of the wonderful season we had in 2018 and with the hope of the season ahead.

I would also like to see all the people who didn't sign up last year but were begging for membership barcodes at finals time get off their asses and buy a membership.

    we got 37k against GWS for the last game in 2018.

    Would expect a similar crowd. Port could have some travelling supporters so we may break the 40k barrier

    You'd think port have a bigger traveling fan base than the orange militia.

    Perhaps the AFL or the State Government can reimburse the clubs for loss of revenue (gate receipts/memberships) during this disruption period.

    Agree. I think it is a big issue. I know a few people who would go if not for the train problem. A bus from Pakenham - really!

    agree.. maybe 2-3k and that is why I think just on 40k.

    If you recall the GWS game was on the back of us making the finals etc so it probably saw  a fair few of the armchair supporters etc.

    If we got 45k it would be a wonderful result but I can't see it happening.

    35k would be the pass mark

    Good question DL.

    I am thinking 40,000 looking at weather interest and membership sales so far and interest ie Maxy's 100th plus 2 new recruits which always add interest ( even allowing for rather normal backgrounds vs say Stephen May and his profile ability and persona.

    However now that this game has been promoted as The Welcome Game another 5/6,000 new fans should be added based on figures vs Saints in 2017 and 2018.

    In addition I just have a feel that the MCC quota given the Finals figures may rise higher than before so I'm plumping for 45,000 plus on a good sunny day with no rain.

    PS Power May add support with 500/1,000 fans but if it was the Crows I feel we'd be about 50,000. (Let's not get them scheduled in NT again fir a while). 

    Here's hoping

    Port aren't a good drawing side.

    Dees fans no longer will be as picky esp as it is the first Round and see my post why.

    I believe the total disruption of train and tram services from almost everywhere south of the city will be huge.

    So much stuffing around, concern about parking alternatives and everything else associated with getting to the G will impact the crowd. 

    To my recollection, this has never happened before, and even if it did,  you could always park at the G in the one days. 

    I am thinking 5,000 less will attend when non regular commuters become aware of the challenge they face.

    As for getting home by public transport, l expect that will be even more confronting and painful (perhaps not if we win?).

    MCC predicting 40,000 for the game.

    Nice weather, us on the way up - going with 42,151

    those to the south could drive to the south/east and pickup a belgrave/lilydale line. e.g. box hill/surrey hills to richmond is about 22 mins and that is NOT the express.

    What do you guys think will be be the crowd size for tomorrow's game?

    Considering we had massive turn outs for the finals you'd think we'd get a decent crowd in for the first game of the year at a friendly day and time. Will we crack the 40,000 mark? What's a pass mark?

    33,666_

    Collingwood got 46,286 to their Saturday 1.45pm game against Port in mid-August last year.

    If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'd be happy if we pass 40,000 but expect 35,000 is more likely. Less if it rains.

    I hope it will be at least 40,000. Although watching football in 32 degree heat doesn't seem quite right. Hopefully everybody doesn't head off to the beach! Believe Melbourne supporters are champing at the bit and eager to see the boys in action. It has been a long summer. Too many weeks of mulling over what went wrong in the Prelim and agonizing over what could have been. Time to start a new year full of optimism. A win would be the best start! Hope to see everybody at the MCG tomorrow!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
