Carlton-Richmond gets 80k even when they are crap. I know it’s a weds and Covid is still on the mind but some of you are severely underestimating.

    I think you're overestimating. 

    Carlton and Richmond get a crowd of 80k when they're crap which is enormous. They are two of the most followed sides in the AFL. 

    Wednesday night. Middle of the week. Makes it very hard for any regional supporters to want to travel in. 

    Biggest crowd us and the dogs have pulled is not even 50k. I'm not sure how you think we'll pull anything near 80k given covid, it's the middle of the week and we're up against a side who has a similarly small supporter base at an away ground. 

    I'll be impressed if we were to hit 70k but I'm thinking between 55-65k.

    Really they should have fixtured this on the Thursday or better, the Friday night if the AFL wanted us to get close to cracking any sort of record. But Carlton and Richmond is guaranteed $ for them regardless of their ladder positions. 

    The Wednesday fixture was never going to give us the opportunity to fill the stadium.

    Agree on all of the above.

    I'd add that i suspect in the last couple of years people have got used to watching games at home and some people may have fallen out of the habit of going to games.

    I think as result crowds will be down across the board all season. All part of the new normal. 

    I'm thinking we will do well to crack 50k.

    That's what I was thinking. It could surprise a few re crowd size.

    The good folk at AFL house have ruined the opportunity this had to get a 75-80000 crowd with the ridiculous fixturing. Id say 65000 or so at best

    I'd be surprised if there's more than 60,000 there.

    Pleasantly surprised, though.

    Thursday night is already a terrible night to get a crowd to a football match. Wednesday is going to be significantly worse. Nevertheless, it's not just about the crowd at the ground. I expect Channel 7 will be mighty pleased with the numbers who should tune in to watch.

    Even if the faithful turn out in full force, and thats a big if,  i very much doubt there'll be too many doggies fans there. I don't think i would want to attend an away fixture, to see the team that belted us in Grand Final unfurl their flag. Not very appealing even if it is Rd 1

    I reckon 55k to 60k

  • Quote

    Mid 40s. Ruined by fixturing. Harder for kids, country people, interstaters. Neutrals less likely to turn up - there would've been a big number for a rnd 1 GF replay. 

    Plus dogs fans don't really travel to the G and some people still staying away cos of covid. 

    It will have an enormous TV audience which is of course why the AFL are playing it on a Wednesday.

    any truth to the rumour that there might be some entertainment planned for the game? 

    and no, not Robbo again  :-)

    So based on this thread, somewhere between 25K - 90K

    40k would be disappointing but anything over 50k will be a bonus.

    This will now be a "normal" work day which just adds that extra unknown.

    I would love the AFL to come out with their seating policy. Last year it was pack them in and close the rest until the last few weeks before shutdown.

    Have they managed to reprogram that ticket selling computer so that a crowd of say 50k is nicely spaced out in a 100k stadium

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
