I always thought Easter Monday always hit 80,000 at the very least but I was wrong. This is from 2025;

Record crowd tipped for huge Easter Monday blockbuster at the 'G

A crowd of 85,000 predicted for the Easter Monday clash between premiership hopefuls Hawthorn and Geelong

Apr 14, 2025

...The Hawthorn and Geelong clash to close the Easter round has been a part of the fixture since 2010, when the Hawks and Cats rivalry was at fever pitch following the 2008 Grand Final.

There has been only one of the 14 clashes to surpass a crowd of 80,000, when 80,222 fans packed in the venue in 2014, when the Hawks went on to win the second of three successive flags and the Cats made the semi-final.

There have been seven games of more than 70,000 fans at the Easter Monday fixture, with the lowest coming on a rain-drenched day in 2022, when only 48,030 supporters attended the game.

The second highest game came in 2011, when the match was played a day later on Easter Tuesday as Anzac Day had fallen on Easter Monday and the AFL separated its blockbuster contests...

Who did Mullin tagging in the final last year?

 

[patience]

I believe so... so no Boyband today.

GO Catters

I was going to ask the same question.

 

[Klink2]

Who did Mullin tagging in the final last year?

I think Watson from memory.

 

[Klink2]

Pleased to see Amon out. Very underrated player for them.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Sprinkling of rain around. It'll be pretty greasy you'd think. I wonder if we're considering Knevitt or Kolo for Edwards given the conditions.

 

[Mattlock]

I think we are starting to find a nice groove and this could be the day we fire.

Cats by 95.

Tehehe.

Will clear up, conditions no factor perfect day

I really hope not. Just back the guy in IMO - especially given Hawthorn goes in with two.

 

[Play it Sam]

Wiltshire will most likely go back after today, so would be nice to see him get a goal for effort.
Shannon needs a big one after last week, Cameron firing would be good too.
I'm aware of their chop outs in ruck and wing, but more needed from them.
Go the mighty Cats.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Both our wins this yr have been close so I suspect another close game today if we get up, otherwise they will flog us, either way I hope it’s a good match and we can find our groove!

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Is Patrick back next week? Too bad he isn’t playing today he always plays well against Hawks from memory

 

[Commando]

I'm working today and will miss the game, usually means a classic game and an epic Geelong performance

 

[Commando]

Is Patrick back next week? Too bad he isn’t playing today he always plays well against Hawks from memory

Surely he doesn't travel to Norwood to play WCE

 

[cats_09]

I've seen it suggested a few times during the week

With both teams up & about, I can see them wanting 80k, but those numbers will come down to how many MCC &
AFL members show up to fill their sections

 

[calder_daddy]

Apart from the obvious where did u find that they are expecting 80 to 90k

Expected crowd is 80,912
From an afl staff member

 

[cats_09]

Who did Mullin tagging in the final last year?

The Hawks then newest small defender, Nick Watson

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

I'll be glad not to have to watch the Foxtel "Kennett's Curse" package after today any more.

Still pushing the narrative that, in the end, Hawthorn got the job done on the way to a premiership whereas we didn't. 2011 anyone ... anyone? Sigh. Why can't really nice things happen to us, instead of just nice things? Is perfect redemption and Brisbanesque blessedness too much to ask?

Honestly feel it's been done to death, what matters is the past 10 years of this rivalry where we are struggling big time. Work out a way to beat you blokes in the current era is really all we are talking about as supporters. The media is the media who are always looking for the narrative to drum up the hype even more.

 

[winty]

Just win dammit.

 

[Catman]

Surely he doesn't travel to Norwood to play WCE

Yep, surely he's been kept on ice for the Dogs a week after.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Surely he doesn't travel to Norwood to play WCE

True lol forgot about that. Bring him back v Bulldogs

 

[cats_09]

Yep, surely he's been kept on ice for the Dogs a week after.

I'd also keep Blicavs at home next week
