But we're counting on you!

I'll be there and can't wait even though I live in the Macedon Ranges have kids and have a serious job.

I think you're overestimating.ย 

Carlton and Richmond get a crowd of 80k when they're crap which is enormous. They are two of the most followed sides in the AFL.ย 

Wednesday night. Middle of the week. Makes it very hard for any regional supporters to want to travel in.ย 

Biggest crowd us and the dogs have pulled is not even 50k. I'm not sure how you think we'll pull anything near 80k given covid, it's the middle of the week and we're up against a side who has a similarly small supporter base at an away ground.ย 

I'll be impressed if we were to hit 70k but I'm thinking between 55-65k.

Really they should have fixtured this on the Thursday or better, the Friday night if the AFL wanted us to get close to cracking any sort of record. But Carlton and Richmond is guaranteed $ for them regardless of their ladder positions.ย 

The Wednesday fixture was never going to give us the opportunity to fill the stadium.ย 

Coming from Goulburn NSW.........but I am retired.

Agree on all of the above.

I'd add that i suspect in the last couple of years people have got used to watching games at home and some people may have fallen out of the habit of going to games.

I think as result crowds will be down across the board all season. All part of the new normal.ย 

I'm thinking we will do well to crack 50k.

That's what I was thinking. It could surprise a few re crowd size.ย 

The good folk at AFL house have ruined the opportunity this had to get a 75-80000 crowd with the ridiculous fixturing. Id say 65000 or so at best

I'd be surprised if there's more than 60,000 there.

Pleasantly surprised, though.

Thursday night is already a terrible night to get a crowd to a football match. Wednesday is going to be significantly worse. Nevertheless, it's not just about the crowd at the ground. I expect Channel 7 will be mighty pleased with the numbers who should tune in to watch.

Even if the faithful turn out in full force, and thats a big if,ย  i very much doubt there'll be too many doggies fans there. I don't think i would want to attend an away fixture, to see the team that belted us in Grand Final unfurl their flag. Not very appealing even if it is Rd 1

I reckon 55k to 60k

Mid 40s. Ruined by fixturing. Harder for kids, country people, interstaters. Neutrals less likely to turn up - there would've been a big number for a rnd 1 GF replay.ย 

Plus dogs fans don't really travel to the G and some people still staying away cos of covid.ย 

It will have an enormous TV audience which is of course why the AFL are playing it on a Wednesday.


any truth to the rumour that there might be some entertainment planned for the game?ย 

and no, not Robbo againย  :-)ย 

So based on this thread, somewhere between 25K - 90K

The second of March, I think.ย 

40k would be disappointing but anything over 50k will be a bonus.

This will now be a "normal" work day which just adds that extra unknown.

I would love the AFL to come out with their seating policy. Last year it was pack them in and close the rest until the last few weeks before shutdown.

Have they managed to reprogram that ticket selling computer so that a crowd of say 50k is nicely spaced out in a 100k stadium

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
