So a GWS home game should have been played at the SCG? Hmm, nah.The NRL match was on at ANZ at the same time and even if they moved it to the SCG it wouldn't have had as big an impact as on the Saturday.

I agree. Obviously they could've changed it to a Swans home game when they were doing the fixtures of there was a Good Friday game. Talking hypotheticals here.So a GWS home game should have been played at the SCG? Hmm, nah.
Great roll up today.
The crowd today was probably (from a Hawthorn perspective) the only highlight from the game.
Will be interesting to see whether the Hawks/Cats game has now been locked in as a permanent Easter Monday fixture (it was the 4th consecutive fixture)
56 and bit thousand tonight, great crowd
I'm not sure I could deal with the hassle of last years Saints/Tigers match at Etihad. Chaos. Next week is Dogs/tiges, Oh boy.Would've been an awesome atmosphere if it was at Etihad

The 4th biggest Home attendance for the Saints in history
1. R. 11 1998; 71,488 V Richmond at Waverley
2. R. 5 1990; 67,893 V Colllingwood at the MCG
3. R.13 2010: 58,208 V Geelong at the MCG.
4. Friday night.
Of course the Saints play most of their home games at the Dome and thus most appearances at the G are "away" but it is still among the top 20 home and away attendances for the Saints overall. Curiouslay enough their top 2 attendances V the Tigers have now both been at Saints Home games.
Surely would have been in the 60's if the Saints had beaten the GC last week..
There was a massive Tiger turnout
Would be lucky if there was 20K Saints last night. Turn up & support your team!
Be realistic. Saints are a mid sized Vic club with low expectations for the season trading currently at 80.00 for the flag not expected to final. In those circumstances 20,000 in a decent turnout.
Wasn't it a Tiger member replacement game? That surely brings another 5,000 Tiger members along.it was a very good crowd but I reckon it was in line with expectation given both clubs members had access and those other Saints games at the McG would have only been Saints members getting rights.The 4th biggest Home attendance for the Saints in history

Saints didn't have a successful period 30 years ago to boost supporter numbers.And what was the difference in 09-10 for Richmond? We were a rabble and still had a good turn out from our supporters. Yeah I know we have more supporters but we didn't make excuses for not showing up to games.

Kids tend to either follow family tradition or go for who's successful*.LOL...Clutching at straws now.
30 years ago is why we have good supporter base now? Come on man.
So what about the unsuccessful 30 years. What has that done for our support numbers?
Richmond V St.Kilda - 56,783 (MCG)

I imagine in 30 years the cats will have a massive following too.
*In my personal experience.
Cmon...Surely Richmond supporters have a longer lifespan than 40 yearsIn that case Richmond will have no supporters soon considering the last 30 years.
What's a typical crowd for a local vs interstate soccer final?I reckon the AFL game knocked the A League soccer match at Docklands around as they only got 20,000 to a final.

Still, 56,000 with other good crowds to come looks like another good round of crowds.
