That crowd is bonkers.

I'd love to know how they counted though - with free entry, people presumably aren't scanning a ticket in. So did they just have someone at every gate counting people?

Yes, that’s how they were counting entry at the Giants games. With hand counters.

Well Done Adelaide!
 

The crowd is clearly not that big. This would be an SMA count which are notoriously incorrect. Many empty seats visible and have seen similar Port crowds being given a high 30s count.

Id imagine the gates have optical beam counters in them.

This. Been a number of 50k+ crowds with just about no spare seats visible, and a jam packed Hill. There's no way there is 53k there today. I'd say between 45k-47k.

Great to see Adelaide people come out and support the game. I had very little doubt we would. What the female crows team have achieved in 3 years deserves that type of crowd support. The crows men's team could take some notes.. Instead of Tex training and kicking at goals during a match. Congrats to the crows women's team and supporters and everyone that turned up.

Yep the $MA are as stupid as Trump. Looked very similar to last nights game yet was only given as 41.5k so certainly something very dodgy happening behind the scenes. If the $MA folded then I won’t be shedding any tears

For those that follow the game week in and week out, is Erin a chance for the league B&F? I think she is one of the favourites.
