I was at the game and was surprised at the number of Hawks supporters.There were 50,000 supporters overall and l reckon half of them were Hawks.AMD I presume they had to pay to get in.

    It definitely felt like we were outnumbered. I was there as well and it felt like there were way more of them than us.

    They were probably expecting a big kill, given the relative ladder positions.

    They are top 4 and we are bottom 4

    Not sure it’s a surprise they outnumbered our supporters who do have a tendency to drop off if we aren’t playing well

    It was a Hawthorn member make up home game. So there were a lot there. There's probably not a more fair-weather supporter base than Hawthorn's. They're used to winning flags and don't turn up when they're losing. They don't even turn up when they're winning flags if it's a bit cold and a bad timeslot. In Round 11, 2014, on the way to a 3peat, they managed only 17,906 at the MCG against GWS.

    'Adam', I always say that I know the 10 Hawthorn supporters personally and a couple of them have since passed on.

    The rest are all fair-weather, band wagoners...

    felt 50/50 to me

    we have 22k or so rusted on who turn up every week as attendees, the rest was probably up-and-about dingley and neutrals

    god they're obnoxious tho - dudes in afl members in cubicle hunters spent the whole time watching the racing, getting up and down to get more drinks, and had little idea of who their players were

    I think you find that the average attendance at Dees v Hawks games over the past 5 years or more has been around 40k.

    They turn up when it's a Hawks home game, and for the past 5 or 6 years (maybe more) it's been a 'make up' game given they play 2 or 3 home games in Tassie.

    They don't even bother to support when the underdog Demons were dominating the game yesterday.

    I was saying yesterday Collingwood and Hawthorn are the two worst supporter groups to go to a game against.

    Collingwood, because they're feral and generally aggressive. Hawthorn, because they're the smarmiest supporters in the league.

    The past 7 years were glorious, and we should have continued the streak against those pretenders.

    I thought we were also comprehensively outnumbered (at least from a noise perspective) at our Anzac Eve home game.

    50,000 was a good crowd number yesterday considering most crowds between the two sides have been high 30’s - low 40’s over the last 10-15 years.

    Simply not true.

    Less true of us than any other club.

    It was a Hawthorn members game too, a repayment game for missing out on home game in Adelaide, that’s why there’s so many hawturds there

    If there is a more “white-collar” supporter base than us, then it’s Hawthorn.

    That was Essendon supporters as well back in Sheedy's day, but the past 20 years has wiped that out of them.

    It was a Hawthorn member make up home game. They also have over 20,000 more members than us, so if they didn't have more supporters there it would be a shock.

    Hawks supporters are fair-weather. Dees supporters are among the most loyal there are. The narrative we don't turn up is demonstrably false and I'm [censored] sick of it. Hawks had an average match crowd of less than 3000 more than us last year. That's in a year where they made a semi final and we finished bottom 14th.

    At least it was a good crowd !! Hopefully Dees get good revenue out of this match

    70,000 Anzac Eve v tigers

    Expect 70,000+ for ladder leader pies v dees for the Kings birthday game

    The journos love hitting the Dees when we only get 20,000 odd for a Suns or Giants game at the MCG. Dees are the only club that play Suns or Giants at the MCG this year ! And we had Freo at the MCG, again only 25000! It’s overall a terrible financial fixture for us this year and have more lower crowds likely to come for Dees v Kangas v Eagles 😭😭

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
