I see your point but we usually do better for attendance on Sundays.We get more than 3000 more to a Sunday twilight game against Footscray than a Saturday game against the Suns.
More proof there is no Lions Suns rivalry
Half their justification for new teams is "a game every week in [insert state here]!" as though many people attend home games of both teams. So I'm not sure they'd do it even if it's a good idea.The afl need to reduce the games in Melbourne between mid July and mid August. Qld and Wa are advantaged with perfect conditions nearly every week of the season and perfect for big crowds. Sydney weather is pretty good too. They need to play 3-4 home games for the 6 teams from these states. Even 3-4 Adelaide home games should happen. Reduce Melbourne games by at least 30% in this period. Cut out Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday twilight in Melbourne
Interesting forecast of 20 and showers in Melbourne on Sunday
I was going to say the exact same thing. Crowds are less impacted by rain earlier in the year regardless of form than in the middle of winter.Just based on anecdotal experience I think the warmer temperature negates the rain. People don't seem to mind it as much with a more comfortable temperature. One example when we drew 85K Anzac eve against Melbourne in 2017 it was balmy and wet pre game.
It has narrowed significantly but should still finish above last year's total. The increased crowds to farewell Sandilands and especially Roughead will help matters.For the first time in months I think that the chance of beating last year's total attendance record is less than 50-50.
Richmond have been up for a long time now, plenty of blockbuster games, finals matches etc
In that sense itās not surprising that their membership has become more choosey with their attendance...
With poor weather a possibility, perhaps some fans might go to the round 23 game against Brisbane instead (which could be a dress rehearsal for week 1 of the finals)
The MCC attendance estimates were smashed last week so perhaps this is a square up
I thought it was a reasonable comment. What do you think it will draw? Big Vic club against the Eagles in a top of the table clash should draw upwards of 60,000. It will draw a sizeable neutral rollup. The AFL and MCC members areas will be reasonably well attended.
As iI have said before get used to some ordinary crowds when the weather is bad.
Its the live against the gate stupid!The NFL in the US dont allow live against the gate in the city the match is being played for good reason.

Realistically 6 would make sense. Play one in each of WA, SA, NSW and Qld and a second one say in WA and SA in the odd years and NSW and Qld in the even years. Each club has their set combo. That brings us some sort of balance in the fixture over 4 or 8 or 10 years. Not some Vic sides only play 4 a year, and some play 6 or 7 and/or North and Hawks in Tassie.Does this mean you are in favour of Kwality proposal of all Vic clubs being forced to play X number of home games interstate?

It needs to take to account games played to pump up club finances in NT & Q, even Canberra. Double headers for members at the G & Docklands can ensure the 11 home games are maintained (the Hawks/North scenario to cover Tas games).
Or try a HD 75in or even a 105in HD TV way better than freezing at the ground and think of the money saved?And the big screen effect
Home with a 65 inch 4k tv and ducted heating is bloody tempting compared to a 20 inch cathode ray tube box and a s**tty wall heater
Actually, as a 3-game member myself, I am being very choosy. The more 3-game members a club has, the choosier the supporters are, by definition.Settle down champ
And I know you are a man of numbers
Melbourne v Richmond rnd 20 crowd 37,254
Melbourne v coll rnd 21 crowd 31,903
Weather was terrible for both games , both Melbourne games , both Saturday games
Extremely unfair and even dishonest to state that Richmond members are choosy in attendance
Especially relatively speaking to every other club in the league, and in the given example compared to the pies, the second biggest club in the country and the only true rival to Richmond in drawing crowds
We outperform everyone

No way.
No TV no matter how fancy and a heater can match the roar of the Army, the passion pouring out and the goosebumps after a ripper win.
