So 5 of 22 is week in/week out is it..?We are
http://afltables.com/afl/crowds/2015.html
7 of the 15 largest home and away crowds this season have been for Hawthorn matches (4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 15)
Just 2 of the 15 largest home and away crowds have been Geelong fixtures (both against Hawthorn, 5 and 15)
Like I said, if you're truly playing the sport for bums on seats then how the **** can you honestly blame Tassie for your lack of them..?

Would probably be safe enough to throw a beer or 2 in the kids direction also after all the watering down that lager has been through...
vaguely remember it was a Sunday arvo game at the MCG about 10 years ago with storms lurking about/crappy inconsistent winter weather, it got about 11k
Carlton remnants vs Box Hill could set an all-time low at the MCG this week. Tickets being given away already.

Hawks also drew 18K at the MCG v GWS not so long ago.
They love to turn up for the blockbusters but not when their is a blockbuster soccer match, its raining or it is not at the MCG.
Launny protects their Melbourne attendance. how many would have turned up last week to watch Brisbane at Etihad. hence why u signed an extension.
surely Melbourne v GWS will get 10K. what has their recent attendances v Etihad been in the last couple of years.
Edit: 18K v Brisbane last year. might have played more recently, but i remember this one, hence was an easy search.
and oh crap, it is going to be under 10K

Melb v GWS is the last game of the season and a winnable game for both teams. If nothing else, you'd think fans might go along because it's the last chance to see their team for a fair while. Reckon they should get 15-20k

Carpe Diem
If I don't have a Father's Day lunch to go to, I'll contemplate going.
Unless the game is transferred to Mt Hotham.

I based my original post on:
Melbourne members -5000?
Giants fans - 200?
Considering its a totally dead rubber, with Coll-Ess down the road and a fair chance the giants could win by 10 goals, i just dont see how they could get close to 10,000 people.
But we'll see.

slight problem with this.
1. GWS has no fans
2. Melbourne has no chance and wish the season was already finished last month.
playing at Etihad doesn't help matters either
maybe both sunday games should have been set for the the MCG as a double header... 2 for 1 deal.

Have you see how fat kids are these days? The game will make a million dollar loss.

So this week might see a challenger for the smallest ever crowd at Docklands, which is about 12.5k. Meanwhile in the NRL they've had 6 rounds this year that averaged less than that. Be thankful for what we have.
If they opened up the second level of Etihad for a pittance it would be worth going. GWS played attractive footy on Saturday. Might see Jeremy Cameron kick eight and Jesse Hogan slot five.
Why would people be sentenced to such a fate?

Already a game at the G. Otherwise I've had enough of away games at the dome for G tenants myself as well.
