I mean lets take it in context.
Crowds for a relatively new AFL club probably about where they should be. If true.
Watched the game and was barracking hard for u guys, next week will get close to 85K (weather permitting).
Yes considering the form they are in due mainly to injuries to many of their best players it wasnt a bad crowd.Have a look how St Kildas crowds have also dropped away this season due to poor form.
Plenty of NRL matches in Sydney between Sydney teams dont get much better crowds with the Sydney media pushing RL as hard as the Melbourne media pushes the AFL.
On the other hand the Giants dont get much of a coverage at all in the Sydney media.
You know what, I reckon that fixture might beat what the Bulldogs last homegame against the Suns got a few weeks ago.
28k at Docklands.
Sheesh, was that expected?
I thought it'd be 25-30k, so bang on what I expected. Not sure about other people.
Impressive crowd, thought it would be in 20-25k region.
There was lots of Eagles support there. I didn't even feel outnumbered.
Really? apart from the cheersquad at the latrobe end, there was next to no eagles support there.
That Hawthorn v Eagles roll up was pretty decent given the circumstances (the Swans and Lions capitulations and the lack of reserve seating for members). Pretty comparable with the Hawks v Port Adelaide and West Coast Docklands crowds in 2013 and 2015. Both of those games were Friday Night fixtures whilst today was a Sunday...
Pretty heartening for the AFL if they want to start scheduling more Hawthorn home games...

That crowd is what Freo used to get at Subiaco,So much for both WA teams getting 50,000 to all their games at the new stadium.
What do you mean lack of reserve seating for members? Do MCG reserve seat members not get reserved seats at Etihad?

No way would we have got 37k at Subi in the same circumstances. Maybe 30k given the crappy weather and ordinary form.

Im not expecting west coast level attendances but surely they could be getting crowds no lower than 42k each week, new stadium world class facilities, would oh hoped of a bit more from freo.
That’d be well beyond the average of any Victorian club again interstate sides. Is that expectation too high?
Not when its a two team town with only one match per week.
Melbourne/Geelong has 10 teams for 5 million pop and Perth 2 million for two clubs.
Hawthorn reserve seat holders have to pre reserve tickets through the Ticketmaster website. There is no allocated seat for MCG reserve seat holders.
Because the Hawthorn administration has been adamant that they don’t want to host home games at Docklands they’ve never negotiated a stadium deal with MSL
More footy in Melbourne than demand !!

almost 28,000 doesnt scream lack of demand to anyone with a mite of common sense. Only in the AFL is 28,000 cited as a poor crowd.
