Richmond and Melbourne’s Anzac Day eve clash might surpass Collingwood-Essendon

Herald Sun
April 8, 2018 10:23pm

BOTH are 2-1 and while it’s still a week away, it’s already being eyed off by fans not only of the two clubs — but across the AFL competition.

Richmond and Melbourne are both expected to be right there when the whips are cracking in September, and their new rivalry — forged by an Anzac eve clash — promises to be a cracker.

But could it be the new marquee game of the round?

Our panellists — Mick Warner, Jay Clark and Sam Landsberger — believe the game could draw a crowd in excess of 90,000.

“That’s got the potential to be bigger than Anzac Day (Collingwood v Essendon),” Herald Sun reporter Sam Landsberger said.

Colleague and fellow podcast member Jay Clark agreed.

“So Melbourne-Richmond could be the biggest regular-season game of the AFL fixture.”

If it wasa RFC home game then yes it would get a bigger crowd

But it's the Dees' home game this year so....

I believe that the game is nearly a sell out and we know that the MCC will be full.....

Bearing in mind I live interstate I always thought the number of MCG members actually attending dictated if the crowd was over 90,000 in these blockbuster games. And Melbourne has the majority of MCG members supporting them.

Dreading this game. I don't even get satisfaction from beating them, just relief. Such a pee ant club. Never seen anyone pump up their own tyres for achieving absolutely so little more than this mob. The players and the supporters have such poo attitudes and the AFL continually props them up, doesn't matter what they do. They're borderline GWS with the amount of top draft picks they have running around they still can't fire a shot. Is there anything more ridiculous than the cardboard cutouts in their cheer squad? I don't know if it's creepy or juvenile. I got sick of being compared to them 10 years ago and they've had huge chips on their shoulders against us ever since. Hope the Hawks do them over and we do the same so they can miss the finals yet again after spending another off season beating their chests.

The complete farce of their "punishment" for being "not guilty of being not guilty of tanking" that subsequently became a reward is why any success they have will have no real credibilty and be a disgrace to the game.

If it weren't for their name and the MCC they would have packed up a long time ago.

Love this post. Haven't done anything worthy for over 50 years and still cry when the rest of the football world chuckle at their irrelevance. Entitled and arrogant for what?

Probably the 4th best day of last year for me was when we beat the Saints in the final home and away to secure the top 4 - and then on to the pub to watch West Coast run over Adelaide to steal Melbournes spot.  :lol :lol :lol

The only thing relevant about Melbourne is that they are named after our city. Bit like James Packer really...

I’ve got a Dees mate and it wasn’t long ago he would carry on how they’ve gone past us. When they played the Saints last year the winner was meant to be a lock for finals and loser out. Melbourne won and he put a photo on FB from the MCG with the caption “can you smell September?!” After West Coast beat Adelaide by whatever margin they needed to make finals I went back to that photo for a cheeky little ‘like’.

So good.
I found a twitter post from a crows fan on GF day wishing them all the best for an exciting day ahead. I liked it on Saturday
