2019 AFL Crowds & Ratings Thread

Does it matter?

Yeah, in terms of the narrative it does as the AFL admin and media would love to pronounce a record year in aggregate H&A crowds and the positive vibe that results from that.

The crowd at the G looks very ordinary.Maybe 20,000 if lucky.

More than that. People underestimate the numbers under the cover of th second stand on a wet night

 

[wagstaff]

Crowd us 23,700.

Decent enough all things considered but still the lowest MCG crowd between the sides since 2003.

 

[Rabman]

23,700 very ordinary.

 

[parano1a]

I was at the game and estimate around 70% of the crowd were Sydney supporters.

 

[magic_johnson!]

Broncos crowd tonight only 23,000. See how many the lions can beat that by tomorrow...

No.

 

[Our Game]

No.

Yep it seemed like that on TV as well plenty of old Swans Melbourne fans there.!

The Broncos crowds have dropped right away since they became a middle of the road team so it dosent just happen to AFL teams when they start losing like Melbourne.

That’s primarily a Brisbane thing, the Brisbane public love a winner which is why the Reds and Roar have both gone through peaks and troughs in recent years

To be expected a crap game over by half time and up against the cricket.

Was, but seats were removed for the pool deck behind the goals and also the advertising board behind the bench

 

[wagstaff]

Blues/Saints looks a great crowd - could be up to 50k.

 

[Rabman]

51,786 outstanding blues fans.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

10k more than predicted

 

[TigerTime_89]

I would be surprised if we get more at the G tomorrow than what was there today.

Fantastic crowd. Sunny day and a good contest.

 

[Cmarsh]

Rich Vs bris should be in the 50's next week.
