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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
