No one has managed to hold on to top spot for more than two weeks at a time then entire season.

Essendon should hold on this week and probably next to make it three weeks in a row but then have to take their turn at the crowd graveyard of Cararra, allowing Richmond to swoop in at the end and take it out. Still looks like it will end up less than 30k difference between 1st and third.
I now have Hawthorn pipping Carlton for 4th. Hawthorn's crowds should end up actually increasing on last year, and will remain in the same 840k-920k range that every single season of theirs from 2008 onwards has been in. So much for their crowds falling off a cliff.
