Pfft. You've been living in Melbourne for too long Scott.
A lot of Westies only go to Homebush games and even though we face a likely thrashing, people may want to see Geelong play and still harbour a small hope that we might cause an upset at home. Given current form and the Olympics on TV, I reckon 48,438.

Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun. Blessedare the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
The probability of a defeat and Olympics will conspire to keep the crowds away.

Olympics on.
Cold weather.

abt 25,000
I don't think things will be that low, but I do think the Olympics will take away lots of casual wavering match-attendees. We struggled to get 20000 through the gates after losing a few games last week. Can't see people wanting to jump back onboard, especially since the Olympics are taking up most of the media's attention & hyping up the game is all the more impossible.
Sydney FC-Melbourne Victory may also take a few of these away as well. SFC-MVFC is the biggest match in the league & the rivalry on both sides is raw.Several of my gang have to decide which game they'll be at on Saturday night.
Would be happy with 40-45000 at the Swans & 18-20000 & Sydney FC.
