I was at the Carlton one and I was not bagging the Tigers as their crowds are awesome but you can’t say it’s only because of Richmond.
That game against Carlton at half time you would swear the crowd was 65% Richmond, in the last quarter you would swear the crowd was 70% Carlton.
You and I don’t know how many of each supporter group were there and we don’t know how many neutrals were there. I was a neutral and I was barracking for the Tigers, doesn’t make me a tiger supporter though.
The GWS is the standout game and it’s no doubt attributed to the Tigers, but again there would of been substantial neutrals there who barracked for the Tigers that day, after all it was a final and it is finals more than any other games that attract neutral supporters.
Ohh please neutrals for prelim unless ur MCC or AFL you wouldn't pay up to $180 a ticket. I was at all finals and GWS we sold out entire public reserve.
V North 90K they have very little support. v Carlton i had Carlton supporters saying to me you guys have like 70,000 here today, well imo over 60K thats for sure. Mick Malthouse blues coach at the time said when we ran onto the ground loudest he's ever heard and also said it felt like we were playing an away game.
V Geelong last year upwards of 70,000 tigers. Cats complaining that they couldn't get tickets, very lopsided crowd split.
