70,000 on Sunday?


Timmuns

Recommended Posts

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.

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:

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
