There will be a shitload of Carlton supporters and it is their home game. They love watching Carlton play Essendon and they love watching Carlton beat Essendon but I hope that won't happen on Sunday.

70k+. Carlton are having a great run at the moment and their supporters will be hoping they'll smash us.

Here's MASON
I don't care if we lose, just as long as Robert Walls isn't commentating. His bias was quite clear last time.
Given good weather it could attract up to 80,000 people.
____ing glad I won't have that problem!
It'll be huge. If the weathers good it will be a massive crowd
Fevola could kick 12 
Why doesnt Knights challenge Dustbin to play on him the whole game and see if he can wind back the clock?

can't f-ing wait. Just hoping for a solid performance from both teams...go dons!
I'm just glad we finally have another day game, I'm sick of night games.
Unless it's pissing down all day, then I'd say 70 to 80K.

Because he is hobbling around like an old man.

Just want a close hard game with plenty of niggleYou know you want to see those smug Essendon pricks crying.

Hard to say as we prefer to play him at CHB but he is our best option.
Mal won't play you would think, so Fletcher for Fevola (probably try and expose Fev's lack of defensive skills by setting up attacking moves).
The Judd match-up is an interesting conundrum. Should be where McVeigh goes, but, it would not surprise me if Reimers gets first crack.
Not sure the Blues will be able to cover Lloyd, Lucas, Neagle and McPhee down back.
Hille should easily win enough knockouts.

Yeah, I'm sure Ratten will lose a lot of sleep this week trying to figure that one out.....

If memory serves correct, blues won the clearances fairly easily without winning many ruck taps last game. So not sure Hille dominating (which I think he will) will do much.
Reckon Setant, Thornton, Jamo & Waite will cover those forwards.
Last time your speed on the rebound through the guts tore the blues to shreds - & will again if ratten doesn't do something different.

He's one of the hardest working forwards in the game. Chases hard. Hits hard and tackles even harder. His defensive work has been good for a few seasons at least now
Will be an awesome game. Carlton are a very good team.
Cannot wait for this game. I'm pumped, although nervous at the same time - a game we can't afford to lose.
I'm thinking around the 70-75k mark. The Blues supporters will swarm en masse. Essendon supporters should be up after a win on against the Eagles, though I expect it'll be closer to 70k than 75.

If Essendon can get the ball down their (big if) he will be. His backline will be torn to shreds.
