The AFL Members' area for tomorrow night is currently still behind what the Coll/Port match pre sold. The back third of the top deck will definitely be available for GA if required.

Some little facts arising from Round 6: The average crowd of 41,366 is the highest ever recorded when there's been only one MCG game 5 of the 8 games were in the top 3 ever for their respective Home/Away combinations - the other 3 were ranked 8th, 11th and 20th We've now had 22 instances this...

An insanely good day for crowds. Every single one of them excellent. Brisbane still getting 30k in that weather outstanding. GWS’ 3rd biggest crowd in Melbourne. Freo’s 7th biggest crowd ever. Pound for pound I can’t remember a better full match day for crowds.

Yep. Biggest Port H&A crowd, quite easily. About 5k bigger than the same game last year, with the best non Collingwood game back at around 53k.

Pretty solid. The AFL Members is halfway through selling the top deck. In the public areas the front of the top deck of the Northern Stand looks to be gone with a start made on the Warne Stand top deck. It's harder to tell in the public as there'll be more walk ups than usual for most...

Unfortunately this falls about 150 short of the biggest crowd between the 2 teams at Manuka and means we break the streak. The last 10 games (all 9 games last week plus Melb/Bris) were all records for the competing clubs at that venue. Carl/Adel looks a good chance of a Docklands record for...

So good to see a proper big crowd at Docklands again. So easy to forget this used to be a regular occurrence in the first ten years of the venue.

So Gather Round 2024 has clocked in at 267,643 (according to AFL Tables). Gather Round 2023 got to 268,287. Difference between this year and last: 18,462 at Norwood in 2024 v 18,386 in 2023 2 games at Mount Barker for 18,562 (avg 9,281) v one game of 7,329 last year 230,619 at Adelaide Oval...

67,020 for Easter Monday.

It doesn’t hold much more than it did tonight. The two finals last year only just got to 36k. Tonight was the biggest H & A game at the Gabba since the pandemic, and the second biggest since 2010.

Basically equal third of their crowds from last year. Only the Showdown and Gather Round crowds were significantly better.

St Kilda's: 7th biggest H&A crowd ever 3rd biggest H&A crowd excluding public holidays 3rd biggest Home crowd ever for a game between two winless teams on a Thursday night and there are people bagging it.

If it wasn’t Thursday night the ticket sales would indicate a 70k+ crowd, but there’ll probably be more absentees by reserved seat holders than for other time slots, and the MCC is unlikely to be very full. Still should be a solid crowd, though.

It's pretty incredible that in Round 1 the record for a single round was broken despite GWS and GC both having home games. If you take those two games away, the other 7 games would still have beaten the total for every other round in history except R1 2017, totaling over 394k with an average of...

It's the ultimate win-win as both codes get exactly what they most desire. The AFL get to reach more people for longer which will deliver them an actual better outcome for growth of the game and bigger media rights deals. The NRL get a figure they can boast about in legacy and social media.

Don't forget that school holidays don't start until the end of next week. Especially if you have kids.

Coughs

Record for a single round officially broken. End total over 413k. 40,604 for Dockers. Round total 413,405. Congrats to me and the 413,404 others who attended!

Side note: I’m not sure how anyone would have coped if they’d played the Ess/Haw game the previous weekend when it was 39 degrees on Saturday afternoon. This is going to become an issue going forward if they’re going to extend the season and extreme weather events become more frequent.

Probably the optimum Round 1 you could draw up with averages from previous Round 1 matchups if applicable or the last 15 years at the specific venues: Assumes form/expectation is neutral, every state needs to host and that non-Vic derbies will be scheduled in later rounds. This gives you...

About 105k I think. 35k each and it’s done.

We're 11k up on this prediction so far from the first 3 games. The other 6 games just need to get what's listed there and it'll break the aggregate record for a single round.

First time there’s been three crowds over 70k in one round.

Fantastic crowd!

If you combine every other Vic team you still don’t have enough crowds over 60k to make a top ten list.

Highest Swans crowd ever. Also highest crowd between teams from different states.

There’s empty seats at the top of the Warne Stand (public area). Won’t get to last night.

Let's not count our chickens just yet. But no, this has never happened. There are only 4 instances of two games reaching 80k in the same round, and 3 of them happened last year (rounds 1, 6 & 13). There's also no instance of 3 over 70k. Last year's Hawthorn/Essendon Round 1 game is the...

Carl/Rich now basically sold out - down to standing room in both public and AFL Members. Should be north of 85k. Coll/Syd sold all those MCC seats they were offering to the public (front half of 4 bays) and are now selling the back half of those bays as well. Only a hundred or so other seats...

They're selling seats to the public in what is normally the MCC area for Coll/Syd (Q37-40). On the MCC website it does say: "Please note that the Members' Reserve may be altered on the top level of seating ('Q' section) for a minimal number of matches where public demand is higher than that in...
