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].

    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? :)

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
