I have put some thought into this, and have come up with what should be something very close to the crowd figure

The Demons currently have 27,000 members. Port Adelaide have approximately 38,000 members. Of these, you would expect 36,000 to make the trip across the border for such a huge game.

Add to that the neutral supporters that will rock up to see the hijinx of such luminaries as Davey, Johstone, Yze, Bruce, Burgoyne, Tredrea and the Cornes brothers... that would be abother 16,000.

And on top of that the corpporate crowd that will be filling up the boxes upstairs, there is another 5,000.

FInally, MCC members which will total 7,000.

My crowd prediction - 93,000. Enough to eclipse the ANZAC day match between Essendon and Collingwood.

I will be bumping this thread up to remind you all how spot on I am.

YM, that's gold, nice work

There will be 14,953 at this game.When the player's intensity of effort improves, the crowd will increase accordingly.Success breeds success!

I like it a lot. However, I think the rain will keep 75,764 people away, giving us a crowd of 17,236.

Can you tip the crowd for Sunday's game V Port Adelaide. If the Freo game was anything to go by I think this one could get ugly.

12,000 MFC members

2,000 MFC supporters

300 Neutral

2,000 Ferals....err Port Supporters

--------

16,300 is my educated tip.

I think the authour of this thread wins the comp. 16,266 was the official figure.

how hypocritical is that statement? by your logic if we all turned up and supported we would have more chance of winning. which i believe is probably true. more supporters more money more noise etc we would be more successful overall.

you cannot say the players have to be successful before you'll take part. we are all in this together. the board, the volunteers, the cheer squad the players the supporters.

all have their job to do. to be successful we all need to pull as one, not sit around and wait for someone else to start performing first.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
