Round 1 Crowd Prediction

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

The club usually gives 20,000 free tickets to schools and other organisations for the Welcome Game, which this is.  Assuming the same this year and say half of them rock up and a fair chunk of our new members come, we can easily push or beat the 40,000 mark, which is what Pert said he hoped for. 

Because of the weather and rail disruption I'll be conservative and guess 37,500.

A pass mark: 35,000 given the number of free tickets.

    My family and I are stuck at Sydney airport due to a scheduling snafoo from our travel agent. I won't get there, but would expect something around the 31k mark.

    Hope those going make it feel like we have 90k there! Carn the Dees!

    30 mins till bounce and not many here. We'll be lucky to crack 30,000 unless theres a heap of people outside or still on the way.

    Given how disastrous this transportation situation is I’m revising down to 26,187

    Admittedly i drove, so don't know, but is the transportation situation today any different to Thursday night (85,000) or last night (78,000)?

    Ah, right then!  

    Though think there must still be some running as saw a Hurstbridge bound train stopping at Jolimont to drop a load off

    Gee you hope people are outside the ground coming in or eating lunch because its pretty poor. At the moment it looks like a Melbourne gold coast crowd from 7 years ago when we were down the bottom

    Two hour trip from Cranebourne put me off

    I have had a choice of 6 different free tickets 

    Same reason I cancelled my membership 

    Too hard to get there by public transport 

    Will probably buy a Casey membership tho I think the viewing there is sub standard

    That’s silly. Normally there’s a perfectly good train route from Cranbourne to Richmond.

    Pakenham, Cranbourne and Frankston trains were all not running today (at least from Caulfield into the City).

    The Bus replacement service was an absolute joke.

    Given it was an overall dismal day, you made the right choice not coming in MNIL.

    Official crowd: 38,866 at the MCG

    https://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/2019/1/melb-v-port

    1,134 short of what we wanted to hit, and about the same above my initial prediction before i revised down when what was a normal 11 min train journey from windsor to richmond turned into an hour and a half epic trip on the bus

    i want to know what happened to the original plan of melbourne vs pies being the opening friday night game of the year - that would've been more than 78k i would've thought

    good of the taxpayer funded club to be gifted a friday night; i thought most geelong fans would prefer a day game in melbourne at the g cos travelling home on the v line would be terrible (other than the sweet joy of being post-win) given the games end ridiculously late because of the stupid 7:50pm start time

    it'll be interesting to see what we get vs the peptides for our next home match, on a friday night; would want to push up to that 80k mark you'd hope

    if they get off to a shocker and we're both 0-2 (we have puddy tatts, they have gw$ tomoz and then the aints on saturday twilight) it could be...interesting

    Agree Clint Rain maybe a few but most  with Transport leaving early necessary plus a 1000 welcome people as well I estimate.

    Really 45,000 would have been crowd so that is reassuring.

    Competitive effort or win at Cattery will see 70,000plus (transport again!) vs Dons.

    The train debacle would have prevented at least 5,000 people from attending.

    Agreed. 

    We parked 20 mins away and walked. 

    Melbourne’s public transport is borderline third world.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
