Ticketek have just released a whole heap of areas up for purchase now so looks like it won't be as big as predicted. Hope we get a bunch of last minuters jumping on board. 

They were always going to eventually put the back of Q49-Q55 on sale at some point.

The other areas of the ground that they have release have about 30 tickets available for purchase.

It will still be north of 75K.

    We had 91k in 2018 against an interstate team when we played Geelong.

    So doable.

    Does anyone know the crowd size tonight ?

    Was it just me, or was there a lack of atmosphere at the game? The crowd roused slightly when we kicked 3 on the trot, but that was it. A bit disappointing really.

    I thought the cheer squad did an exceptional job all game, and the crowd lifted when we got going early in the 2nd and 3rd. The problem was if you take those bursts out we got comprehensively beaten. Not the crowds fault.

    The crowd was fine. Sydney had way more to cheer about and outside of bursts we were sunk in our seats watching a pretty average outing. 

    Swans silenced the crowd. Pretty simple really.

    Not blaming the crowd or the cheer squad. It was just a weird vibe given it was our first final at home since 2018.

    This! It’s all this. No sustained momentum, bar a couple of short patches

    Agree 100% the whole side from the punt road goals to the end of the members was rocking early in the third particularly after the Fritsch and sparrow goals.

    Yep I've said it in the other thread, I thought the crowd was pathetic (where we were sitting anyway). There were a few of us trying to gee up the crowd but they were just sitting there like stunned mullets. No idea how to generate some atmosphere, you don't just cheer when a goal is kicked you cheer to rev the team up and create some energy, create some sense of hostility for the opposition. Melbourne supporters just sit there mute.

    Edit - It was a good turnout though, a touch under 80k is a great result I think.

    The biggest roar of hositlity of the night was when Harmes flattened Lloyd. Felt massive for them.

    It's hard to gee up people who don't want to be gee'd 🙁

    The problem seemed to be that whenever we gained momentum we made unforced errors or gave away stupid free kicks that let them back in for easy goals. Maddening to watch and took away our energy.!!

    Glad to hear someone with a clue comment. The “we just sit there” stereotype is a myth. 2018 was as loud as I can remember. The game style tonight from both sides made for a snore fest. Stark contrast to last night’s Richmond v Bris match.

    For mine the experience with the crowd was mixed.

    Some really loud and vocal ferals, some others more calm but riding the wave on the 2nd and 3rd. And even the ones sitting next to me that gave me the looks every time I jumped of my seat or booed the old flopper Franklin.

    Not like 2018 but much better than your average crowd from this year's H&A

    Difficult to get the crowd enthused when you are comprehensively beaten for 3 qtrs. 

    Comprehensively beaten? It was 2 goals the difference at 3/4 time. I think some Melbourne supporters have forgotten they're not their to watch the Harlem Globetrotters. Your role as a supporter is to support not sit on your hands and only cheer when something good or exciting happens.

    The crowd last night was weak as [censored].

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
