Given I described it above as one of the worst Collingwood crowds I’ve seen I reckon I’m staying true to my word.
Correct, and that accounts for what, 24,000 seats?
In terms of representation in the MCC I understand Hawthorn and Geelong sit 5th and 6th based on the MCC surveys on your website?
Nonetheless they are almost non existent in the AFL members which represents 18,000 seats for a week 1-3 final.
And then for the Geelong game you have series tickets etc
My point is you can’t draw many conclusions from one off finals series otherwise the Dogs (who drew 88,000 to a 2016 SF) would also have a huge latent base
Probably closer to 60K
You know it happens to all clubs no one is immune but the thing is many like to dig the boots in, ive noticed if my tiges have a bad or sub-par crowd.
Anyway 40K+ next week v crows or you think more and 80K v Ess to round it off in RD23
I know that's what the stats say - supposedly 23k, but by gee they're not exactly all weather Dees fans. I've been to Melbourne-Freo games at the G where there's been barely a couple of thousand in the members.
Your injuries have caught up but even if you lose tonight and next week V Freo over there, that last game will still see bombers fighting to stay in the 8 V the pies and the pies trying to get into the top 4. Last home and away game i think upwards of 80K, cant see it dipping below 75k to much riding on it for both clubs...

Plenty of snow on the slopes would account for the numbers

I disagree its the live TV against the gate on days like today that will rip the crowds to pieces!

With tomorrows forecast not much better than todays I dont think the Tigers V Carlton crowd will be anything to write home about?40,000 maybe.

It was forecast for a wet, cold night last Saturday also. Saturday day timeslot definitely alot more crowd friendly also, parents much less likely to bring their kids to night games compared to day games, especially cold, wet nights.

manicmagpie is a straight shooter here, he's not one of the fanboi's that simply cheerleads their club on this thread

At this rate we’ll get a great breakdown of the split between the Bulldogs and Essendon by counting the empty seats at 3/4 time.

The weather is keeping all crowds down so far. Might make it difficult to beat last year’s record attendance.

What would be a pass mark tomorrow afternoon. 50K?
Very sparse. Essendon’s members seems to be most sparse for night matches.
Yes. Though I think the cold conditions exacerbated the sparseness tonight. Last Saturday afternoon these seating bays were much more crowdered. Possibly injuries making it a bit easier for members to stay home tonight.
I reckon Saturday night is one of our worst drawing timeslot for whatever reason.
Only Sunday twilight is categorically worse. Or maybe Sunday 3:30pm, but that's not a given.
A couple of weeks ago, when the Round 23 fixture was finalised, the biggest Collingwood Essendon return fixture since 2003 looked to be a monty.
However, an Essendon loss to Freo next week, will make the Friday night game as relevant as Collingwood Hawthorn in 2014 when Collingwood not only needed to win but needed Richmond to lose to make the finals. Only 45K showed up at that game.

Yes - very typical for the EFC. It’s why the return game against Collingwood, Richmond and Carlton has typically drawn poorly. Collingwood home game though, so that will help.
