With Nathan Buckley expected to play for Willy this weekend and the Pies playing on friday night, there will be a decent crowd at Port this saturday.
A regular Port vs Willy game usually gets 2000 so I recon theres a chance of 5000-7000.
Lets hope the food and drink doesnt run out.
Go Borough!

I think about 5000 were at Box Hill a couple of years ago, youd want perhaps at least that, good opportunity to display the VFL, All the best for the weekend!
They may get even more. last time was on a pretty ugly Sunday. this time its a feature game at 1.10pm Sat. The TV coverage my hurt the attendence however every game of Buckley's maybe his last so people wont want to miss their chance to see him run around.
Last really big comeback game in the VFL, the bloke ran into an umpire.
Hope Bucks stays out of harms way. It would be nice to see him go out with a few good games (assuming he'll retire at the end of '07). For a Collingwood player, I really like him.
Warm weather is the key. Victorian's aren't quite as hardy venturing out into the weather as they once were.
If its 19 and sunny then we could get a terrific crowd. If its 15 and murky you will only see the usual crowd turn up.
Quite correct. I never used to be too concerned sitting in the outer at Waverley Park in the rain. The bottom half of your jeans would get wet, but the rest of your clothes would stay dry. Warm hat, warm clothes and gloves and a raincoat with a hood and you were set. No need to move, because it was too uncomfortable and your seat would get wet.
Now with the stands all covered in, and even the players playing under a roof, there is no hardiness at all.
Hate to be a killjoy folks but Saturday's forecast is Showers,13 degrees and Buckley will be playing Friday night for our lords and masters=standard crowd between 1500-2000.
looking forward to mixing it with the usual suspects,jason and bobbyborough etc whatever the weather.
The couch looks pretty comfortable sat arvo.
That's why the crowds are shithouse! At any rate, I'd say Buckley is probably a 50/50 chance of lining up for the Seagulls this week.

Fingers crossed there's at least 5000, wouldn't it be fantastic to showcase the VFL on ABC TV with the ground packed at TEAC Oval. The big question will still remain: Who will sign more autographs on the day - Joffa or Ons?
