no. i havent, but ill keep doing this until i hear from them again. Its been a few years.
The MCG are predicting 75,000 for Richmond V Collingwood. Now 75K is a great crowd but let's be honest if that game does not reach 80,000 it's a fail.
I know the timeslot is a downer and will cost us a percentage of the turnout that would come on Friday night or Saturday and I know membership emphatically does not indicate attendance but nonetheless this is two huge rivals who have upwards of 200,000 members between them, both G tenants, coming off what was quite frankly an upset win in the PF for the Pies against the minor Prem and flag holding Tigers.
Frankly if Carlton V Richmond can get 85K on a Thursday it will be disappointing if this game cannot come close to that figure. Richmond coming off a hugely high profile win in Round 1 and the Pies trying to stave off a morale sapping back to back defeat. If this is not red meant what is?

Might be factoring in that buses are replacing trains on many of the train lines going through Richmond for several weeks. Don't think many trains are stopping at Richmond, if any.
No MCG estimate for Hawks V Dogs. Surely 50K? That would break the record between these two clubs.

It says 38,000 on the app. Must be the train work mentioned before
That record will get broken soon though, it's more indicative of us playing Hawks at Tassie and Ethiad all the time.
Good to see one of my favorite footy shows AFL 360 at the top and the copycat NRL 360 at # 16 with less than half the viewers.

Probably not a popular opinion, but that's honestly a pathetic number for two massive clubs.

There are track works on a couple of key lines on Thursday night. Will be an even greater issue for a few weeks in April with even more lines out of action
Being in Perth you probably don't know the huge impact expected by a number of metro lines through Richmond station being closed for the next 6 weeks or so.

Find it interesting that our game against West Coast was on the main channel in Queensland and 7mate in WA

They are running through Richmond but there are parts of some lines shut down
Apparently the football has been shifted to 7 mate for all news overlapping games in WA
I presume they are all still on HD though
It's been like that for years in Perth, all evening games are on 7mate. Doesn't matter who's playing.
Dunno, I watch Fox.
Does 7mate actually have an HD channel? If so, then I presume it's on that.
According to the TV guide, no. 7HD tomorrow night is taking main channel programming.
The MCC still saying a crowd of only 72,000 tonight

Public will be reasonably full, AFL and MCC might struggle.
Richmond vs Collingwood has never really drawn as well as the other big 4 match ups. One of those bizarre things.
