Fletcher also holds the record of being the most watched AFL footballer of all time, with a cumulative attendance of 18,271,064 spectators at matches in which he has played from 1993 to 2013. 

At the risk of being incredibly unpopular in this thread, surely this can't be right? Anyone who played 300+ games and a lot of finals in the 70s would have him beat, no? That was the era of blatant disregard for spectator safety and crowds that reached 120,000+, and no games against poorly-supported interstate teams in front of 15,000.

 

I'd like to know how many Bruce Doull played in front of.

 

BOOOOO!!!

11,687,013. No, really!
 
Fletcher is MILLIONS ahead of the next best (Bartlett).

Mark Harvey interviewing Fletch on Perth radio ATM. Awesome.

I was jumping up and down like a 1992-vintage Franky Dunnell when he passed the centre circle…
91

Still the second best thing Hurley has ever done on the field.
(Telling Hawthorn to finish their finals hopes and fark off was the best.)

I was on the wing yelling "HAVE A SHOT HAVE AAAA SHOOOOOT" as loud as I could.

 

Spine tingling.

DJR GOES BANG!

 

I actually love that this stat is kept. Thanks for the info.

94

Was behind that goal. That draw was one of the best matches I've been to.
95

Christian and McGuane on the Brekky show on RSN gave Fletcher a BIG wrap this morning. They think he can play in 2015. 

96

How good a footballer is should be measured in milli-Fletchers, not average Supercoach points.

97

MilliFletch"s ..  excellent.

98

LEGEND!!

99

Has had a rough go from the umpires and the tribunal, on occasions, over the years for some reason. Hardly an unfair or rough player.

Hard to imagine the backline without him.

100

Inspirational, influential and integral.

Needs to become an assistant coach when he retires in 10 years time.
