Tip the crowd V Port

Featured Replies

 
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.

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

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.

wow! can you predict a dees win this weekend?

The crystal ball is awaiting the pending suspensions of Sylvia, Davey and Pickett, and also the injury clouds over Bruce and Petterd.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    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.
