Just under 29,000.:( Disappointing turnout considering we just announced our 40,000th member.

41,000 attended the Blues vs Crows game. MCG sat
39,000 attended the Blues vs Lions game. Dome sat night.

Very loud and vocal in that last quarter and the atmosphere was great by those who did attend.:thumbsu:

I think our mob was grumpy and getting grumpier until the final siren was heard.Not much purple to be seen!

the home team is only average, the away team is deplorable. still a higher crowd than what is at AAMI today between two very good teams. i think it was an ok crowd personally

Was very loud on the telly, would have thought there were more there. Historically we haven't got very good crowds against Freo tho so i dont think its too much of a worry, specially coming off last weeks performance.

Would have been lucky to get 1,000 freo supporters today. There was 1/2 a bay near the Coventry pocket with freo supporters that was it.

Was all Carlton, not bad considering it was at the dome. Should be close to a sellout next week

I thought 29000 was excellent.
If you look back at the last couple of times we have played the Shockers in Melb i think you will find the crowds were around the 16000 mark.

It's fully ticketed so you'd think it would go close. Have got my tickets already, can't wait! Let's just hope the cat's don't come out breathing fire after Friday night...something tells me they will tho...

If we had won last week we might have got close to 35k.

We would have had only about 20k at Optus. Considering no one wants to watch Freo in Melb, I think it was pretty good.

Melb V Freo only had 19k at the MCG a few weeks ago.

We were going so banana's in the last 10 minutes that I have lost my voice! When Fev did that chase and tackle I nearly went in to labour!

However, earlier some Freo k-nob was stirring up the supporters when we were down with some crap about 'Go to the $2 shop to buy your flag', come siren time this old, short, bald, f_wit nearlly got lynched by the bagger brigade. PRICELESS

Not get mad, win! :p

Brilliant atmosphere. :thumbsu:

Think I might have heard a tentative Freo chant once, though it might have been the wind. :p

Disagree with that a little SN.
Thought 29,000 was a decent turnout against a team that never really draws well in Melbourne, and also a team that has had one win for the year.

But, a great amount of noise in the final quarter.

Go Blues! :thumbsu:

I honestly think there were no more than 1,000 Freo fans attending the game today. The way I knew if Freo kicked a goal if there was not even a mumur from the crowd.

Had a few around us today, but they were pretty quiet.

I had about 2-3 around me aswell, didn't hear much from them the whole game.
