13,694 for Suns/Lions; know that's slightly better than their last few Carrara clashes but reckon that's a very disappontng crowd considering their good season starts. Should be 15k as bare minimum and probably closer to 20k.

Bit of a fan of Tony Cochrane (Coch0) from his success with growing the V8 circus, but crowd numbers arent his strong suit, aka dont believe the crowd claims, up or down ....
Do a deal to get Brisbane members to the ground, hey the AFL pay the bills either way.

Brisbane membership did have access to game as part of their membership. Just like we do for gabba clash in 3 months time

Coch0s 'go to' in his V8 days was a post race concert, could that drag a crowd to Carrara (no, he didnt grab Meat Loaf, that was Andy D} ??

Considering both teams are going OK and it's round 6, that crowd is absolutely pathetic.
Agree it’s a disappointing crowd but I reckon they put people off by saying GA sold out. People don’t want to pay $45 to go to the footy.
Plus sat arvo is a poor time slot up here in particular competing against heaps of junior and senior local sport. My local club has Over 500 players juniors, seniors and women’s and a large chunk playing today. Plenty would have attended qclash with a later start time.
Nice beach day up here too

Heard on ABC radio just before the game that because of the limited parking available, Brisbane fans won't drive the one hour or so down the highway to see the game.

Yeh. And its the same the other way heading up to gabba from down here. I go and take my kids unless its a night game as getting back at midnight with kids is too late. But for day and twilight games i head up. But many dont.
If true, that GA 'sold out' is a major stuffup by Gold Coast; one of the best chances for a big home crowd in years and they've blown it. Cochrane gets all the kudos for his fiesty persona in media interviews but it all counts for nought if they stuff up like this.
Don't really buy the other timeslot/last week results excuses. I'm pretty sure this is the first time ever GC/Bris have met when they both have a positive win/loss record (and in perfect conditions as well).
In a year of largely excellent crowds so far, that was the first really disappointing one.

28,404 at Docklands. A much improved St Kilda brought along a much better crowd than for similar games in past seasons.
Certainly but they're also notorious late arrivers. Will probably still hit 30k
You do realise local sports are played on a Saturday afternoon all throughout Australia? Sorry but don't buy this as an excuse.
There's a smaller Australian football milieu in seq more generally though
Correct but on the goldy there is a limited number of footy followers so it really does matter. I personally know of a couple of dozen that wanted to go but had sport commitments so couldn’t.
The market isn’t big enough to get things wrong

Will be our first real loyalty test for our fan base since 1994. even when we missed finals in previous years, we were at least still competitive in 2010(ish) and 2001(ish) IIRC.
Official crowd: 29,780 at the SCG Still way better than any other code in Sydney today!

The Giants always have less fans at the SCG than any of the Vic clubs, WCE or Crows usually have. Bizarre.
Very good crowd for Freo. I expect Hawthorn to get their usual piss poor crowd in Tassie and a big crowd at Geelong tomorrow.
