Goodwin saying the club are hoping for 85-90K is wishful thinking.

Suspect it will be between 67-72K.

Having said that, weather permitting, the Pies could bring 40K to this and that will make it go close to 80.

Very much hoping there 40K+ of us there.

Weather should be no excuse, Id happily be sitting shirtless in a hail storm to watch this one. Hopefully our fickle fanbase come out in droves to support this team. Might not watch as good a Melbourne side ever again.

 

I don’t think this is wishful thinking.

Their supporters are keen on account of their winning streak so they’ll turn up in the many thousands. 

And our supporters are arguably the most buoyed we’ve been all season. So we’ll also have big numbers turning up. 

I reckon 90,000 is not at all beyond the realm of possibility.

Seriously doubt we would get the figures people are talking about.

If we get 70k it would be impressive.

I will be there! 

I wouldnt mind greatly if its a 60-40 crowd split Collingwoods way. As our home game that would be great for the coffers.

We have learned to win without superior supporter numbers and i think we can beat the Pies on Friday regardless. Should be a cracker of a match with a huge crowd.

I'm with you Jaded - I reckon the ****ty weather will mean a top of 75k at most.

...... and yes, I'll be trekking in from The Manor.

 

PS I hope they are able to staff all the taps in the Betty Cuthbert bar!

I reckon in the 80s. There will be hoardes of the maggots. Got mates asking for tickets that literally haven't been since 2019. Got a real feeling in me waters about this one.

There is no chance it will come close to 90.

Crap weather, Covid back it will max out at 75.

I'd love it to be like Anzac Eve in 2017 when it was a shock to get 85.5K.

We just don't have that many supporters. Ticket sales indicated 70K.

Friday nights have also drawn really poorly this year.

We have 65k members, that should be enough to get us to around 50k. The rest is up to Pies coming on the day, which they will. I expect no less than 75k, but hope for 80k+.

When was the last time we played in front of 80k+? Probably 2018 finals.

Crap weather. LOL. 
Not directing this at you FTB, but if crap weather is what’s stopping ppl attending, that’s disappointing.  It’s a winter sport ffs.

There is a difference between a clear winters day and a wet winters night.

On another tangent seeing as you're my link to the cheer squad.
As a kid when I was in it we'd chant Mel-Bourne, Mel-Bourne etc, etc.
We don't any more.

Colling-Woood have claimed it.

Like breaking even in the clearances we just need to break even with the supporter ratio.

That won't happen. it will be at least 60% Collingwood supporters.

And that difference is a poncho. Besides, the heavens aren’t gonna open up and rain cats n dogs. BOM is predicting a light drizzle, if anything. 
That’s in reference to the rain issue. 

As for the day/night issue, aren’t we rapt to be getting a blockbuster Friday night match? Isn’t this what we’ve been denied for the longest time?

There was 85k for ANZAC eve in 2017. Something like that would be awesome!

Yep, should’ve clarified biggest Dees n pies home and away crowd in recent history was 83.5k

You might be right. It is a melb home game so pies have to pay to get in that will stop a few. 

Only locked in my seat in the MCC today, most seats being offered with near the back on Level 4. 

Will just stand in a terrace on Level 1 as per usual though.

MCC have this as a priority 2 game so don't think it will get close to a sell out ... they are pretty good at judging these things

I'm just glad I'll be hermetically sealed on level 2 of the Northern Stand in a Tridents only area so no chance of coming into contact with the puddle drinkers in black & white. QB was a nightmare. 

Can anybody tell me which bays are general admission, it's not on the MCG website

Mate I will end up having gone to 19/22 games this year. 
Weather is an excuse I have never used and never will use.

But most people do and it turns people away from all games. Collingwood Richmond got 64k because it was on a cold windy Saturday. 

I hope that this ends up as the biggest home and away crowd of the year but I’m a realist and we get decent crowds but don’t draw giant crowds at our home games.

Just going bases on where ticket sales are at. Level 4 up to row O in the Olympic stand and a few bays up to row K in the southern stand.

for QB, Olympic stand was completely sold out and southern stand only had 6 bays of GA.

On Friday, MCC on track to just about sell out all reserved seating and AFL reserve about 75% sold out

76K on QB so would take an enormous amount of GA supporters to get it to that number for this one.

Ok that sounds pretty comprehensive. There are three days to go though- is that factored into your calculations?

Do you mean the slow chant? We sometimes do that one.
The best was in Adelaide when we did that chant and it spontaneously morphed into ‘Leee-ver’ because we were all so over the Crows supporters booing him. We actually drowned them out! And pi*ssed off many of them in the process. 😁

Preach! This weather nonsense is the biggest cop out. Forecast isn’t even that bad - should be clear by bounce.

    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.
