I lifted this from Big Footy so can't prove accuracy, but if it is, Dee's are doing a fantastic job pulling the crowds considering:

* 3 games where capacity was less than 21K (Hobart, Geelong [censored]-hole and Alice Springs). Not sure about Metricon.

* The number of home games we play at the G v interstate sides

* The massive leg up the top 4 are given with their fixtures and prime-time exposure (add Geelong next year when their [censored] stadium is finished).

Go Dees!

 

I say again. Why are we still playing Geelong in Geelong every [censored] year when the G and Marvel are vacant? Enough of this [censored].

 

Data is from footywire:

https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/attendances
 

We do even better when sorted by average home crowd. Bombers might jump us as they’ve got pies at the G in the last round, hopefully we draw a decent 40k against the hawks this week for our last home game. 

I think the home match data is more important.  What was the club goal  for average home game crowds in the strategic plan.  Does this show us again of being one of the “Big four” Or five clubs in the AFL? :) 

 

 

 

 

 

Is that including the absolute horror show that was the 3,000 people in Alice Springs?

It does, figures line up with the ones at AFL tables.

While that GWS abomination was the lowest crowd this year to date we also have 2 home games in the top 10 H&A attendances YTD as well (vs tiges and pies).

Anything under sixth spot in any of the above tables makes you a minnow club. That is all. 

Eagles fans to their credit keep rocking up

with figures this large, excluding that game doesn't make much difference. The average increases by 2-3k (estimate without me actually looking at the numbers].

Surprising we got more to Anzac Eve than Kings Bday given how well Collingwood were/are going.

The Carlton home game only got 48,000 on a Friday night which will disappoint Pert and Co. That would have gotten 65K if Carlton weren't a disaster at the time.

our average mcg crowd - home or home & away - would be extremely healthy

I was asking because I was trying to figure out our MCG average. So it’s 9 games at 438k our average is just under Richmond’s at 48,660. 

I really want the club to ditch the NT, and healthy figures like this make a good case. Selling games, giving up home ground advantage, and forcing a team in a premiership window to unnecessarily travel makes no sense to me.

Here are the numbers for our home games excluding Alice:

1. Western Bulldogs 48,103

7 North 29,455

11 Freo 29,154

12 Carlton 49,872

13 Collingwood 83,578

18 Brisbane 38,030

19 Adelaide 33,122

Average 48,636

 

Hawthorn to come of course

It was 75,000 members and average home crowd of 50,000 by 2023.

Remember this is an "on" year hosting anzac eve and kings birthday so actually think the club will be a little disappointed.

By that token last year was an “off” year and we averaged nearly 44k and were 4th for average home attendance (incl 6k against Port in Alice). We did play the pies twice so got that benefit. 

 

We punch above our weight. We need to boost the numbers at the Norf, Freo etc games but we’ll do OK financially I think (even better if we can sell a couple of mil in Premiers merch).

Thank the Afl who make cats play the pies twice at the G and then give them the make up home game & we are shafted for that … the last 3 games v the cars have been away … having said that we played the blues twice at the G. the fixture pure and simple play each other twice then once away & home, if playing only once it should be rotated each season. Also mfc need to walk playing for points in the Alice as that lose May cost us top 2!

That number looks like it includes finals? Presume thats how we got 13 home games.

Yes I’d say you’re right, there’s a toggle for regular season but I must not have clicked it

Well the estimate average is 44,000 if Alice figures are included and 48,636 if excluded.

Nearly double your stab Praha and the Plan says games at the G. That's what was meant and we are not far off it. If both Dees and Carlton had won say the two weeks prior to our May home game and it was a very cold night I have no doubt we would  be over 50,000 average with say 60/65, attending that game. 

FWIW I think we will get between 40,000 and 48,000 at Hawks on Sunday depending upon the Breast   Cancer figures and no. Of Hawks that turn up or if it's a replacement game for them also. 

So close to that 50,000 average despite the 2 big matches vs Pies and Tigers.

Remember the media [censored] early in the season about our members don't go to games! 

The biggest problem is that the Cameras very rarely show the Northern Side of The MCG

There was one shot i saw yesterday, and it showed very full Stands on the Northern Side. 
 

We just have to keep winning….

What's pleasing and not noted is how many kids are at our games now.   Bodes well for the future

My 7 yr old started going this year and loves it. Plenty of Dees outfits at Auskick clinics too. Vastly different to the 1980s.
