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.

 

37,225 due to the rain.

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!

 

87363. 


I shouldn’t start the day off on IPA’s. 

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)?

Yep, all lines stopped at midnight last night


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.

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.

Didn't trouble the people going to Collingwood/Geelong or Richmond/Carlton

That’s because the work didn’t start til midnight Friday / Saturday

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
