No, it just shows some clubs are better at converting barrackers into paid up supporters.

I agree here. Memberships, be they premium or otherwise, mean money in the bank, thereafter, it's their business (the members that is) whether they show or not.
Not just in the AFL, but looking across the A-League as well, we are seeing average home attendances below the number of memberships sold (and I'd suggest that is because the A-League clubs have learned to sell low-value memberships - soccer fans used to complain bitterly about AFL pet memberships, but now they have learned to follow our lead, so to speak).
Bendigo V/Line is absolutely packed, standing room only and that was from Bendigo.

That'd suck!
Pretty healthy ratings yesterday
Excluding FTA regionals, there was a combined 1.469 million across the 4 games (1 less than usual), taking the total to 2.7 million including friday night
Of those, 220k were Sydney and Brisbane - 100 FTA and 120 Fox. An average of 73k over the 9 or so hours of football...helped obviously by both sydney teams playing and the lions (though getting smashed)
Purely as a benchmark, the NRL got 19k and 16k in total across its two foxtel games in Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide
The times i've checked this year, the Sydney and Brisbane ratings seem to gravitate around 15% of the total on Saturdays and Sundays and this week was almost bang on that figure
Last nights Bris v Adelaide game averaged just 83k. Pretty ordinary but clearly lost out to the Pies versus Hawks with 237k. Alas, since Wookie got stopped maintaining tables, I can't reference this but I would have thought the combined 320K is pretty solid for a Saturday night.

It's all you hear about up here, since moving from Vic this year, they are more NRL-focused than Victoria is AFL-focused IMO. They should have 100k members and a wait list to get into games considering all factors, Suncorp is a brilliant stadium, they have no competition with other teams and have a brand that is advertised like no other sporting club in Australia.
I lived on the Sunshine Coast for 14 years and have found Victoria to be more AFL-centric than SE Queensland was NRL-centric. Nevertheless the Broncos have a massive market to draw from.

I would have thought 12/13k would have been a pass.
Is this a tad disappointing for GWS fans ?

I would have thought that at the end of the day GWS should play all its own games in Sydney, but if a upgrade is on the cards at Manuka if a fourth game appears, then perhaps that will happen.
Although on the other hand, taking another game from Sydney is defeating the purpose of GWS.
There is no doubt that GWS has had a very positive impact on Football in both GWS and the south of the state.
Record amount of junior teams in both Canberra and WS this year in both areas but WS in particular you need to build from the bottom up.

Will the AFL do anything about the Medallion club seats ?
That would be North dragging the numbers down.They have never had a big supporter base.
Lousy weather seems to have impacted Freo/Blues crowd with only 30,313 turning up today.
Unlikely with Richmond's recent form and they're the home side.
Biggest dreamtime I can remember since 2013.
Should be around the 80000 mark. In games with big crowds it usually needs the away team to turn out in big numbers rather than the home team to get the big crowd, as most members will go anyway.

Watching Richmond makes one want to slash one's wrists. Which might keep a few away.
My prediction - Bombers will win with a shot after the siren, after being 40 points down mid-way through the 3rd quarter. Dusty will do his ACL in the showers after the game.
