AFLW 2019 AFLW Grand Final: Adelaide vs Carlton, Sun Mar 31, 12.30pm ACDT

[Gizmo]

That's massive.

 

[nobbyiscool]

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?

 

[KevDawg]

Maybe this year that would have only been 9 round instead of 7, they are adding another 4 teams next year though so that pushes it to 13 rounds + finals = 4 months

Footy all year round!

 

[KevDawg]

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

This is the biggest ever crowd at the Adelaide Oval for a Melbourne AFL team, men or women!

Biggest AFLM/AFLW crowds at the Adelaide Oval:
53817 - Geelong v Adelaide, AFLM 2017
53698 - Port Adelaide v Adelaide, AFLM 2017
53518 - Port Adelaide v Adelaide, AFLM 2015
53141 - Adelaide v Geelong, AFLM 2016

[Teen Wolf]

Think I'd probably give the BOG to Jess Foley.

 

[SunGirl89]

3 minutes to go and Carlton have outscored Adelaide this half

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.

 

[Gizmo]

Congrats Crows. Way too good.

Bad luck Blues.

 

[SunGirl89]

if the AFLM can exaggerate attendances, then so can the AFLW

 

[GreekLunatic]

What’s the capacity for the Adelaide oval

 

[Greenstar5]

The crowd is brilliant. But it's not 53k.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

The crowd number might be a case of counting all that are present at the ground, including staff and officials and what not.

 

[mick500]

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.

It might just be a dodgy estimate. Because of free entry, it makes it impossible to come up with an exact figure.

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

 

[SunGirl89]

Erin Phillips still finished with the most kicks in the game

 

[cartwright]

Congrats Adelaide!

Bit over 55,000

 

[SunGirl89]

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.

 

[Vhaluus]

That crowd broke the record for attendance for a womens sporting event in Australia.

 

[GreekLunatic]

So they broke the record for the largest crowd
