Hopefully we get 55k-60k to the game, would be a good start attendance wise.

    That would rely on Dogs fans attending the game in their droves and as we saw in this years game, they didn’t. They also only got 45,000 to a Richmond V Dogs MCG 2022 Saturday night game.

    Always good to start the season off the G with a home game. However a round 23 MCG game would be great too. Last 4 season we’ve ether been sent interstate or to Geelong to close the season.

    Happy with this. Saturday night prime time beats Sunday at 1.30pm or 4.40pm. If the gate doesn't top 50k then that's on our own fair weather fan base, not the dogs.

    Certainly it deserves 50,000 plus given both ours and Dogs excellent recruiting and where both Clubs are at.

    Yes  RD But Will more than 5/10,000 Dogs fans come to MCG though? 

    I reckon we will need 40/45,,000 Dees to top 50,000.

    My boy Hunter to stick it to Bevo early doors

    Saturday night at the G. We'll get a big crowd. This year we opened on Wednesday night which didn't help attendance wise. We'll get 60,000 in I hope

    Naturally, Collingwood’s game against Geelong – Geelong’s home game – is at the MCG.

    Also just realised that there’s no AFL game in Perf for round 1. Both teams in Victoria!

    The local radio talkback stations are going to blow up over this. 😂

    I read somewhere that Optus Stadium was unavailable for some reason for Round 1. 

    Edit: And that reason is Ed Sheeran.

    Welcome back to coaching Ross, 4:40 timeslot on Sunday.

    So hang on I thought the premiership teams were going to play in r1 or did they work out putting it on a Wednesday night does not work. 

    Well hopefully Ugle-Hagen doesn't decide to have another game like he did last time. 

    Should be interesting with Hunter playing hopefully. Shacke I doubt will be there . 

    Bring on our dynamic ruck duo.

    dogs fans won't turn up and we have a dedicated 30-35k who are regular attendees

    42,000 would be a a titch disappointing turn-out but would be a likely total imo

    I was convinced we would be playing Geelong in Geelong in rd 1 but I suppose it will be the last game of the year just so we can whinge about it all season.

    So once again we have the contrived round of relative equals.

    The AFL just cannot help themselves these days. Once it used to be a few blockbusters now it's whole rounds manipulated.

    Saturday night assuming decent weather maybe 50k.

    Might go to the Hawks v Bombers game if our "transferees" are selected

    I don't get the angst over the Round 1 fixture.  Just what is it that posters are whinging about?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
