I reckon 10,000 or less. I remember in 1997 playing west coast at optus and there were like 6000 people there and we got thrashed. I never thought we'd be in that position again. Everyone will have a crack at us in the media for not turning up and I bet the snow jokes come out. Does anyone give us a chance? I know freo did well against the cats but that was on there ground. I for one will be there. Not sure why exactly, maybe cause I've played for the membership

    16k. They'll give tickets away to the Chinese and inflate the numbers.

    10k would be pathetic, but wouldnt surprise me - the fans have seen NOTHING from the team this year not preseason, not practice games, not regular season. And i for one am getting a little confused with what exactly Bailey is trying to execute, and what makes him so sure that even if he gets it right its a premiership game plan - fuckin over possessing the football HAS NEVER WORKED EVER EVER EVER EVER.

    It like Neil Balme is coaching us again. :unsure:

    I guarantee you Harvey already has his team ready to zone off and smash us when we play that pissy precision football and arent up to it.

    Ill go, but id like to see Bailey throw his plan C or B out there for the first half and see how we go - the teams confidence is shot by the time Bailey has realised his plan isnt working it is very transparent to opposition coaches.

    i hope they do

    we'll be lucky to get 16k though because when we did last year, we were still thinking we were around the corner from a win, well atleast i was...now i feel as though, we are absolutley screwed

    15k

    We are in with a slight chance, only because Freo aren't much better. But Farmer seems to come alive when he plays us....maybe he could get sick before next weekend. Anyway I feel a WIN

    As I said, 6,000.

    And looking for a reason? Look at Bailey. No idea.

    In that case I'll go for 17k - I reckon a thousand pro-Tibet protesters will turn up as well. Isn't there a fair bit of red and blue in Tibet's flag? They could sit with the cheer squad ...

    Strangely I will be there - and you know, the Melbourne FC need to get Bailey to say that we will be playing one on one accountable football. The club needs to market "a line in the sand" just like Hawthorn did a couple of years ago - and from that point on Hawthorn improved. It needs to encourage a real physical, tough game against the Dockers

    I`m really hoping there will be at least 15k to see our first win for the year. surely we can beat Freo at the G`. Also hoping Valenti gets a game, had 35 touches. Why isn`t he mentioned ?? Is he slow ? There must be a reason

  • Quote

    i'll be there, but the way Freo played vs Geelong we'll be 6 goals down before we realise the game has started.

  • Quote

    How about the selectors give us some excitement and something to look forward to for those that want to go to the game?

    Out - Bruce, Robertson

    In - Maric, Valenti

    Don't forget C Connelly coached Freo previously - he may give us something - but then again MFC don't have a Pavlich... had a Farmer...Chisolm...Daniher...Gilbert...and Simmonds.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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?

    • 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.
