Latest estimate from speaking to an MCG rep is 75,000. MCC reserve expecting 19,000

Honestly if 75k is expected surely we could crack 80k. That would be massive.

This game will not only attract supporters of both clubs but also neutrals. Who wouldn't want to watch a primetime 2nd v 3rd?

    My first thought when told was WOW, 94,000 is unreal. I totally misunderstood lol.

    Interesting to see that general admission is now sold out. This is at 11pm so they may choose to put more on sale.

    for those who plan on scanning in on the night don’t worry you still can this is just for non Melbourne or Collingwood members who don’t have scan in access.

    think 75k may be on the money, hoping people are willing to get a little wet to come and watch a great contest.

    Still plenty of seats at the top of the Ponsford and Northern Stands it seems?

    They are selling up to row Z in both. GA will seemingly be row AA-MM but it would not surprise me if they put the whole Olympic stand up for reserved seating tomorrow.

    there are also only single seats left in the ponsford. 
     

    for context Anzac eve got 70k with twice as many ga areas on level 4

    Defs not preaching here, but for those still in two minds, or those who CAN go but choose not to, remember how far out of his comfort zone this man went for our Club on many, many occasions…

    Right on the money. As a bit of an MCG seating nerd myself, thanks for your expertise!

    Ye I have a check in twice a day because im obsessed and broken when it comes to crowds.

    I dont reckon they will come close to selling all.

    Can already tell that there are gonna be excess GA people and not enough seats.

    Stay home the view is better!

    So you don't discourage members/ supporters to NOT attend our games?

    I suppose this will be retorted by you OD saying what you say is fact when it is up for opinion to the world. 

    The only FACT is that your postings are negative. 

    Half glass EMPTY OD.

    bloody rain just as casual supporters/neutrals would be deciding whether or not to come. Sitting in the G not under cover is miserable and is only for the die hards

    60K would be a big win tonight

  • Quote

    Will be lucky to get 60k in this ordinary  weather 

  • Quote

    It looks like the rain will be minimal for the rest of the evening. I hope people change their minds, there's still time to get to the G'

    Well done to the 50K Collingwood fans who turned up loud and proud to an away game.

    The biggest game this club has played in Melbourne for 4 years, and our fans stayed away in droves. Absolutely pathetic.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
