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].

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
