70,000 on Sunday?

Featured Replies

Posted

Just wanted to know what people's thoughts were on DB expecting (or hoping really) 70,000 people at the game this Sunday... I'll be going and I know quite a few people who are too but I can't imagine a crowd that big (it'd be awesome if it was cos its our home game = some $ to the club).

Hope to see you guys there (not that I know what you guys look like... maybe if you wear red and blue so I'll know to look out for you lol) ;)

 
 

I was really annoyed by Caroline Wilsons totally idiotic comment that 'our home games had only drawn small crowds'.

We've only had one, Hawks Round 1, yes? 40,000 ish?

Now Carlton, and we're looking at 40,000+ again.

And I'll be there! Finally getting to make the trip, and I'm stoked.

Na, the Bulldogs game was our home game. But it is true what you say, we've only had one home game this year, I haven't actually read the article properly (just skimmed over it this morn. on the way to uni) but perhaps she was referring to our home games last year...?


Carlton supporters will be coming out of their caves after last week so with good weather I think 42,500. I just hope MFC supporters are motivated after the canning we have had in the media so far this year.

Lets just hope that our supporters turn up and not shy away just because they think we will lose.

We need our supporters to be there rain, hail or shine, win or lose. confidence or no confidence.

One thing for sure is that I'll be there.

Do the research DD, our home game attendances are poor. And dont fall back on the Collingwood games. See the numbers against interstate clubs and NM that are not inflated by opposition clubs.

There is too much nit picking of good journalists article while completely missing the message.

We probably will get 40+K but about 30,000 will be Carlton. :lol:

 

28k-35k. Anymore and you're all dreamin'

Carlton supporters don't live in Caves? ^_^

They live in Grotto's. :lol:

I'll be with a bunch of die-hards in M50 - come over and say g'day (we will be wearing red and blue so you should be able to find us)

70K? Does that include split personalities??

The Carlton fans will be out in droves, still cannot see a crowd getting over 55k. Dees supporters are a rare enough breed when we are a top 4 team. We are rubble at the moment, so ony the die hards/sadists (yes, that includes my goodself) will be there.

70k is out of the question. 50 would be a good turnout. Fingers crossed for the club that we do get 50+, the funds will come in handy, as the membership numbers are not really going anywhere fast.

The MCC prediction on their website is 39,000.

Interesting they on predict 55,000 for collingwood and north


I think we will get over 50,000 but 35,000 will be Carlton supporters, that will help fill our coffers but won't do much for the players. We seem to have trouble attracting over 15,000 Dees supporters to our games unless they are ones against Collingwood.

I'll be there, as always.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
