Just beat the previous record of 36K in 2010 when the likes of Scully, Trengove and Ricky Petterd where running amok.

That was a great win! Fev was playing for brissy. Felt like we were getting somewhere lol

Great crowd tonight- 20k for the Richmond v port game. Pathetic.

Also the night that Fev taunted Joel Macdonald about a winning a TV last time they played on each other, to which Macdonald replied "at least I've got a home to put a TV in" 👍

I noticed on Twitter last night there were Herald Sun journos whipping up a frenzy amongst the Collingwood/Richmond/Carlton bogans about "low crowd".  We nearly doubled Richmond's crowd against Port Adelaide, and still they're sinking the slipper.  

I've had a look at the crowds on Thursday nights this year, last night's crowd was the third highest this year, the two games beating last night being the two Richmond v Carlton game.  It was also the largest Thursday night crowd involving an interstate team.

In short I'm at the stage of saying suck [censored], media.

Excellent crowd last night.

17,000 more than Richmond drew to its Thursday night game vs Port despite having double the members and not having lost three prior games going in. A H&A record for the two clubs.

Also was more than:

  1. Bulldogs v Geelong on a Friday night in Round 12 at Marvel
  2. Sydney v Richmond on a Friday night in Round 11
  3. St Kilda v Essendon, last Friday night

37,000 is an outstanding non school holiday crowd and will only strengthen the claims for more Thursday night games next year, particularly given the benefits of the floating fixture where the AFL can mix and match.

The club/AFL promoted the game well with $12 tickets but the BCNA event probably drew more people that it otherwise would've.

I'm not averse to attending Thursday night footy a couple of times a year but I'm hoping our week one final (assuming we qualify for finals and we're at the G) isn't on a Thursday night. Would much rather Friday night or Saturday twilight or night for our first final.

There will be a week one final on Thursday night.

It’s only half an hour earlier but makes a huge difference in terms of getting home on PT. And to people staying in the city after work killing time before the match, for example.

Agreed.

iirc the higher finishing team gets a say in the time slot of their finals, especially if a reigning premier.  It is another advantage of finishing 1 or 2.

And its safer late night travel as there is likely to be more people on the train at 10.30pm than 11.00pm.  It is only 30 mins but as you say it makes a difference.

So I got home just after 12:30 this morning, so will be one of the few times (if ever again) I bother doing a Thursday game, but I had today off work so wasn’t too bad.

The music/flashing lights wasn’t as annoying as I remember (have they turned it down or am I getting more deaf 😂

Beer is horribly over priced at $12 for a mid strength but at least it’s pirate life and not Carlton draught or VB. 

Only vegetarian options were a pastie and hot chips, no where else I saw had anything different but I may have missed it.

Lower costs will help, less crap across the speakers would also be good but I still hate Thursday and Monday games (not PH games of course)

But kudos to @Bring-Back-Powell for an awesome effort to get to Geelong on a Thur night (unless he/she lives in Geel anyway in which case you'd expect nothing else)

Last week Carlton Richmond got 50,000, we get 38,000 against an interstate team with a few old Fitzroy supporters, we’re going ok with crowds, wish people would just shut up on this subject

Giants are the biggest waste of money in AFL history, the sooner they’re disbanded and their players spread around other clubs, but mainly the new Tasmanian club, the better

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
