I was at the game and was surprised at the number of Hawks supporters.There were 50,000 supporters overall and l reckon half of them were Hawks.AMD I presume they had to pay to get in.

    It definitely felt like we were outnumbered. I was there as well and it felt like there were way more of them than us.

    They were probably expecting a big kill, given the relative ladder positions.

    They are top 4 and we are bottom 4

    Not sure it’s a surprise they outnumbered our supporters who do have a tendency to drop off if we aren’t playing well

    It was a Hawthorn member make up home game. So there were a lot there. There's probably not a more fair-weather supporter base than Hawthorn's. They're used to winning flags and don't turn up when they're losing. They don't even turn up when they're winning flags if it's a bit cold and a bad timeslot. In Round 11, 2014, on the way to a 3peat, they managed only 17,906 at the MCG against GWS.

    'Adam', I always say that I know the 10 Hawthorn supporters personally and a couple of them have since passed on.

    The rest are all fair-weather, band wagoners...

    felt 50/50 to me

    we have 22k or so rusted on who turn up every week as attendees, the rest was probably up-and-about dingley and neutrals

    god they're obnoxious tho - dudes in afl members in cubicle hunters spent the whole time watching the racing, getting up and down to get more drinks, and had little idea of who their players were

    I think you find that the average attendance at Dees v Hawks games over the past 5 years or more has been around 40k.

    They turn up when it's a Hawks home game, and for the past 5 or 6 years (maybe more) it's been a 'make up' game given they play 2 or 3 home games in Tassie.

    They were very quiet from QTR 2 halfway through middle of the last quarter, those cheats.

    They don't even bother to support when the underdog Demons were dominating the game yesterday.

    I was saying yesterday Collingwood and Hawthorn are the two worst supporter groups to go to a game against.

    Collingwood, because they're feral and generally aggressive. Hawthorn, because they're the smarmiest supporters in the league.

    The past 7 years were glorious, and we should have continued the streak against those pretenders.

    I thought we were also comprehensively outnumbered (at least from a noise perspective) at our Anzac Eve home game.

    50,000 was a good crowd number yesterday considering most crowds between the two sides have been high 30’s - low 40’s over the last 10-15 years.

    Simply not true.

    Less true of us than any other club.

    It was a Hawthorn members game too, a repayment game for missing out on home game in Adelaide, that’s why there’s so many hawturds there

    I suspect the bolded part of the text which I highlighted might not have been clear enough on the screen.

    If there is a more “white-collar” supporter base than us, then it’s Hawthorn.

    That was Essendon supporters as well back in Sheedy's day, but the past 20 years has wiped that out of them.

    It was a Hawthorn member make up home game. They also have over 20,000 more members than us, so if they didn't have more supporters there it would be a shock.

    Hawks supporters are fair-weather. Dees supporters are among the most loyal there are. The narrative we don't turn up is demonstrably false and I'm [censored] sick of it. Hawks had an average match crowd of less than 3000 more than us last year. That's in a year where they made a semi final and we finished bottom 14th.

    At least it was a good crowd !! Hopefully Dees get good revenue out of this match

    70,000 Anzac Eve v tigers

    Expect 70,000+ for ladder leader pies v dees for the Kings birthday game

    The journos love hitting the Dees when we only get 20,000 odd for a Suns or Giants game at the MCG. Dees are the only club that play Suns or Giants at the MCG this year ! And we had Freo at the MCG, again only 25000! It’s overall a terrible financial fixture for us this year and have more lower crowds likely to come for Dees v Kangas v Eagles 😭😭

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
