You think they would have learnt from the Dustin Martin debacle last week
Opinion Sad to see the G so empty for a final

The Vic bias from the OP has given me a stroke
I thought it was a decent size crowd
Well that's one way to finally get a flag

Explain how it would be a choke? Try to use critical thinking above a 5 year old level.
Expected to finish top 4.
Called lucky all year.
Pushed the minor premiers to the line in an epic Qualifying final.
We've had a successful season. Literally can't choke because this was unexpected. Poor post.
Not really, we averaged 63k in 2015 going through the semis and playing all interstate sides. Admittedly every other year we had 80+ averages, and we still mostly played interstate sides besides geelong.

Great result, love to see "interstate" sides win.
Praying the Pies get beat tomorrow

I heard closer to 25k, which all things considered is pretty good.
62k for this matchup is actually pretty decent. Melbourne is no Richmond/Collingwood and the Lions fans did their part clearly.
Imagine if we could have Lions Melbourne support + Brisbane support combined. Would easily be 50-60k alone.
The ones in the know including Buckley expected you to be here again.
You’ve been in a GF, PF and SF recently with 1 embarrassing season no one expected but you dealt with a lot more injury.
The nuffy public or outsiders are the ones that expected you to stay in the bottom 4, probably because of a fire sale and a new coach but obviously you’re better than that, just got rid of some bad eggs.
Always had the talent.
2021 is the outlier not 2022.
You’re a good side that just lost another final. A side that doesn’t often win finals themselves.
The improvement is massively overrated.
It’s actually fairly normal.
The big 4 supporter bases draw big crowds, but this isn’t much of a surprise. 62,000 for a semi is fine.

Game should’ve been played at Marvel. Or are home final disadvantages only allowed for Cats? I know there’s 3 other clubs who suffer but they don’t make finals much or at least home ones

Tonight’s crowd was pretty good in my opinion.
Below is the crowd of every Vic/Non-Vic SF match since 1990 at the MCG.

I think people have forgotten that it's usually only the Big 4 playing eachother or at the very least another Melbourne club, that pull massive massive numbers outside of Prelims/Grand Finals.
Great post, in the end 62k ended up being a ripper crowd and it felt like it at the game. I expect 75k for the Prelim.

Initial ticket sales had 3900 Brisbane members out of 28000 tickets sold which is just under 14%. Doesn’t include the very Melbourne supporter dominate MCC which would swing the percentage even further Melbourne’s way.
But let’s say Brisbane had 14% of 62000, that’s about 8500
