80,000  sure , why not!

This is a big final not a H & A  game. 

Didnt we get 80k to our last swans final and that wasnt even a QF in 1987.

Admittedly alot of dees would of died off over the past 35 years. Not many youngies coming up to replace them.

    I was speaking to the membership department a little earlier and I nearly fell off my chair when they told me what the club is expecting on Friday. I had to ask twice just in case I heard wrong, as of this morning according to ticket sales I was told they are expecting 84,000. I think we all hope it gets to that.

    The club was hoping for 85-90 against Collingwood and that ended up being 70.

    There are too many areas of the ground with large amounts of unsold seats for it to get to 84K imo.

    AFL reserve will have 4K unsold seats on Level 4, Northern stand has 1.75K seats not on sale, Ponsford has 864 seats not sold and Southern has 1512 that havent been sold. That already gets us to over 8K empty areas. Then there are the MCC double dippers which will reduce the MCC capacity by 2K at least and standing room all up of about 5K not used. That gives me a max attendance of 83.5K and that assumes that everybody who has a ticket attends and corporate/medallion club allocations are all used up.

    Of course there will be more sales which hopefully mean another 500+ tickets are sold.

    I reckon it will be 75K which would still be an incredible crowd but will secretly be hoping for 80K+

    I dont like the pc terms for someone who has died   ie.  passed away or.... there has been a passing in the family..

    Passing where? Where are they going?

    When you die you're  dead . Pure and simple.

    Word salad wont change anything.

    Mal that will teach you, that you need to be extraordinarily connected to get anything from our "masters"   You should have applied through your MFC membership, and not sit with the cheese platter and seat rug set,   get down and dirty sitting with us on M1   just near the Cheers squad.  I know you can remember that far back.    Maybe for the Preliminary seating  you should try it.   At least I will not get a nose bleed unless some swans supporter does not like my comments.   Cheers mate   

    sorry to hear your so far up into the sky,  I will wave....

    anticipating this game so much,  win this and we are going to be very hard to beat,  Come on Dees

    There are 10 of us in our group BUT I also hold a footy club membership and maybe I should use that moving forward.

    Can’t see why it won’t be over 80k in 2018 we got 91k against Geelong and from memory there wasn’t many Geelong supporters there, swans have a good following here as well as some will travel from Sydney so 80k plus seems doable

    At least you get to sit closer to the action and not watching ants run around . But I only get two seats normally and if we make the GF definitely only the two.  So it’s a bit easier for the computer to put together two seats rather than your 10.

     

    ps call you Friday evening and I will wave

    Are you sure they are amongst the swans.  It looked like a dees area when Ticketek allocated the seats/bays

    Still shocked at those crowds. 90k two weeks in a row for an elim and semi is a fantastic achievement.

    I wrote to the club about allowing 10 tickets per member which could be for non-members or even non demon fans.  It was supposed to be a 'Member PreSale.

    Their response was:  All finals tickets are run by the AFL, all decisions regarding 10 additional tickets per barcode is also a decision made entirely by them. We urge you to contact them if you wish to take this complaint further.  I might do just that!

    imv during the 'Members Presale' it should be one ticket per barcode.  Clearly the AFL don't care that non members and non dees fans can get tickets and even premium tickets.  Pretty ordinary seeing that we have kept paying memberships during covid without any football.

    I've also concluded that selecting 'The Premium Member' option for barcodes doesn't allocate premium seats.  Not sure why they even have it.  Maybe it is to make people feel good ala saying we are in a queue for tickets but it turns out to be random.  It really is first in best dressed!  I wouldn't mind that if there wasn't the 10 ticket per member sale thing going on.

    I'd love it to be over 80k.

    But Covid, the ticketing system, weather and the fact that in 2018 we were playing finals for the first time in over a decade are all reasons why the crowd will most likely be less than expected.

    It's a disgrace and I hope enough of us complain about it over this finals series so that next year it all reverts back.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
