Would bank on 40k v Port if we could fluke a win on Saturday.
Won’t last. Predict 18k for the round 23 dead rubber vs Freo. As a result the AFL will schedule the next 10 Essendon vs Freo games in Perth.
There’s a one person difference in attendance between Richmond v Essendon and Richmond v Melbourne.
That’s most of it 'G home games done and dusted isn’t it? Our crowd numbers will fall back with the pack the more we play at Etihad.
Hawks rd1.
Anzac Day.
Country game.
Dreamtime game.
We’ve had all the key blockbusters now.
So you’d expect we’d be leading pack on attendances thus far.
Adelaide people sure love their footy.
Yep.
We could only pull 36k to a big home game against west coast last week. You’d think v Port, v Adelaide v Brisbane won’t be much better, probably less.
Yep agree, only 2 more G games, v Coll and Carl. 3 more interstate trips against GWS, Syd and GC, not huge drawing. But we are over 3K out in front on averages. Should stay top 3 no worries.
Yep but it helps that they have a huge number of their members as full season ticket holders. The upgrade of AO was smart aswell because initially there were plans to get capacity near 60k but they left it in the 50’s and that has ensured Crows fans are still on waiting lists and demand outnumbers supply. As a rule unless the weather is catastrophic they will always get 40k there as a minimum
Yep, we will end up 3rd or 4th. A lot of pretty poor drawing sides at Etihad to come
10k on Saturday night will drop the average back a bit too.
Can we stay on top with one match to go? What a result either way. Turn up on Sunday!
We’re going to top a million spectators for the year!
We won’t finish top, we’ll be lucky to get more than 35k v Freo while Richmond v St Kilda will draw over 60k with Riewoldt farewell and tigers going for top 4.
We could definitely finish 2nd though, Melb v Coll will need to draw over 60k to eclipse us which I don’t think will happen.
Play more games at the G and we’d topple both the Hoddle St ferals and Punt Rd ferals.
Looks like only richmond will crack the 100k.
Play Jobe we finish on top
Huh?
Jekyll and Hyde. Do we get BETA Stallion? Or measured consideration and anticipation of crowd size @Stallion
