To have even GWS and Gold Coast knocking on the door of 20k average is quite remarkable I think.

Their home attendances are definitely exaggerated by the afl.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Amazing effort by Essendon considering our home ground is Etihad/Telsta/Superman Stadium.

We truly are Australia's club.

 

[Righteo]

wouldn't avg home attendance make more sense, OP?

 

[Capriati]

These are not average home game attendances, which is why WCE are so low (having played at Traeger Park) and why GWS and GCS are so high.

Sure, go for your life

If your average attendance is lower than your home ground capacity are you even trying?

Big drop off from 7th to 8th on that list.

Carlton should be stoked with that - keep on improving and they'll be around top in a couple of years.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Wow Richmond average just over 50,000 to games with over 100,000 members. That is an excessively poor turn up rate.

 

[South of the Yarra]

And Collingwood only played Carlton once. Wow remarkable figures.

 

[sprockets]

Yeah we're a disgrace...

 

[blitzer]

If your average attendance is lower than your home ground capacity are you even trying?

It just means you play at a world class venue and not at the local oval.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Hawks have seemingly fallen off a cliff without finals and success. Probably explains the ‘topping up’ list management.

 

[saints_333]

Their home attendances are definitely exaggerated by the afl.

not only are they exaggerated but 1/4 to 1/2 of the fans at the game support the away team most of the time

Although it does give an idea of supporter basis, I don't read too much into singular club crowd numbers. For example look at Collingwood/ Richmond, they play the huge blockbusters at the MCG agianst the likes of each other and Carlton, Essendon etc where the away team has a big percentage of the crowd as well, and then claim it as their home crow number. There's not many other leagues in the world where this would be the case.

You would almost think they gave away memberships to kids who never used them.

 

[TigerTime_89]

The best way to measure attendence is home Average v Interstate teams IMO.
Still trying to go through the numbers.

 

[WWSD]

Hawks have seemingly fallen off a cliff without finals and success. Probably explains the ‘topping up’ list management.

Didn’t Hawthorn get 31,000 against Gold Coast? The Hawks home crowds in Melbourne this year have been decent except for the game against GWS.

I don’t recall Hawthorn playing Essendon, Carlton, Sydney or Adelaide at the MCG. Instead home games against WB, North and Gold Coast played a part in the low averages.

So Collingwood has big crowd numbers because they play blockbusters against the likes of Richmond and Richmond has big crowd numbers because they play blockbusters against the likes of Collingwood...

This is extremely subjective..


Collingwood home games -

Geelong
West Coast
Bulldogs
Port
St Kilda
Fremantle
Melbourne
North
Richmond
Suns
Essendon

Richmond home games -

Collingwood
Sydney
Melbourne
Hawthorn
Essendon
Geelong
GWS
Port
Carlton
West Coast
Brisbane


So let's cancel some out...

Geelong, Richmond, Collingwood, Essendon, Port, West Coast, Melbourne are all on both.. .so let's take them off. Take a look at the 5 remaining teams for each... Suns and GWS probably cancel each other out.. but it speaks for itself why Richmond is higher. Nice boost by Hawthorn and Carlton supporters. And Colllingwood gets stuck with 4 of the bottom 6 home attended teams of that list above with an interstate team in Freo which has 0 Melbourne based supporters.

Lol righto makes no attempt to make up for time slot differences

Yes, my point was that teams like Collingwood, Richmond, Essendon, Carlton etc constantly play year on year in big blockbusters against each other bringing in the crowds along with their other crowds. Now compared to each other of course that cancels out and shows they each have the big crowds but different to the rest of the league.
