14,000?! There was more police attending the Carlton Collingwood game than that!
Still 2000 more that the A League soccer got to their Semi Final in Sydney only 12,141 turned up.Pretty silly to play a final on Mothers day.

Why does Mother’s Day seem to impact crowds in Melbourne so much more than in Perth or Adelaide?
We should get around 60K against the Hawks next week I would hope.
Hawthorn most fickle fans in the competition. Even more so then Richmond
Dont know why the AFL dont buy viewers, e.g junior footy clubs, bussed from their club rooms, no cost $nil, complimentary food.
Go and take your NRL cheerleading somewhere else.

Obviously neither of you are well versed or more than likely still at school.
I would be a bit disappointed with 57K for Hawthorn Richmond game even though Richmond Hawthorn games rarely pull massive crowds.MCG predicting 57k to both the Coll / StK and Rich / Haw games.

The Sunday 3:20 time slot isn’t great, will shoe off a few thousand.I would be a bit disappointed with 57K for Hawthorn Richmond game even though Richmond Hawthorn games rarely pull massive crowds.
Thank you.I was sticking up for you!

Yeah, agreed. It wasn't pretty.What debasing and inerudite replys.

Lets forget it and move onYeah, agreed. It wasn't pretty.
I was venting from other personal matters. I get tribal when I'm angry. I do apologise. Those type of responses from myself don't help the culture on the board.
It feels like a low 60’s crowd to me, decent weather permitting. If it’s a Hawks member replacement game it may get a few more. Essendon only drew 63,500 to a similar timeslot 2 weeks ago against Geelong for what I’m sure would’ve been a circa 70,000 crowd on a Saturday / Friday night. 3:20pm Sunday is the 2nd worst timeslot for crowds (behind 4:40pm) and Thursday night I suppose. Not good for young families.I would hope for 60K+ especially with the tiges big win in Perth and its our home game but the hawks fans on social media have made their distaste for the 3.20pm start. I personally dont think its to bad but guess each to their own.
Last year we did get 71K and by memory it was Orthodox Easter but it was the early start 1.10pm
If Hawks can only get 14k to a home game, would be expecting 5k max to an away game. Prepare to do the heavy lifting Richmond!!
Having said that, they had a win on the weekend, so the bandwagon may have gotten a few of the holes patched up!
You would have a better understanding on how the Bomber support base are feeling. But from an outsiders point of view the Essendon supporters time and time again show how resiliant they are and so I'm predicting 33 to 34,000 on Saturday night. Predicting 62,000 on Sunday with a massive Tigers turn out.It feels like a low 60’s crowd to me, decent weather permitting. If it’s a Hawks member replacement game it may get a few more.

Incidentally I believe the 1:10pm Sunday slot is one of the best. Great for young families and crowds generally much better than the 3:20pm slot.
Incidentally, I’m resigned to a poor turnout at Marvel on Saturday night. I’d say it will be Essendon’s worst crowd since that 2016 saga year. Essendon people are filthy with what happened last Friday night. Effort and trust are non negotiable and Essendon have fallen short on both consistently. Season technically alive yes. But it means little in the broader sense with injuries compounding a bad week. Reality is that appears another year wasted. Every team suffers when things get tough in field. No fan base is immune. My gut feel is Essendon’s on field efforts have fallen below a key threshold of intolerance last Friday night and the crowd this week will confirm this. 26-27,000 my prediction which will be a strong message to the power brokers that the fan base is losing patience!
