75% attendance cap up to 40,000 for the next two weeks in Melbourne

Its better than what it was, but it should still probably be more. You could open up the top of the MCG and still have everyone spaced out as they were and you'd already get nearly 50k.

So do you think any of the matches in Victoria this weekend will even get to 40K including the Coll v Rich one at the G on Sunday?

With 30K cap, I think the crowd would be 25-27K, now with a 40K cap, id say 35K. Just curious to know when these extra tickets will be put on sale?

Both MCG games would get usually get more than 40k. 40k full capacity is pretty much never going to turn up, but if the cap was 75k, they'd both get at least 50k.

Tickets are selling well for the Carlton vs Geelong game albeit with issues logging on to purchase tickets. I don't think it will get 30K more like around 27K 28K.

’s 400th game was the biggest of the round. It was the fourth time this season that Hawthorn has been a participant in the game which attracted the largest crowd of the round. It previously happened in Rounds 3, 10 and 14, in games against Geelong, Carlton and Essendon, with the Hawks also having the second biggest crowds in Rounds 2 and 5.


Take the wins when you can

Crap not in these Covid times.

Is the AFL improving overall including Kayo and streaming services?

 

[parano1a]

Why would you play twilight games at MCG in middle of winter when it at is coldest?

Games are scheduled for TV ratings not crowd comfortability.

Sadly, I think you hit on why this has happened.

It is hard to say for sure as we don't whether the actual method fox are using when they periodically release their averages and we don't have season values for previous years (or for AFL Live for that matter)....but basically this year the best estimate for the current round average for the AFL season to date is 4.65M which would I suspect would place it below last years apples with oranges comparison but ahead of every year since 2014.

Adelaide -4% on 2020, -20% on 2019
Perth -5% on 2020, -11% on 2019

Metro -10% on 2020, -19% on 2019

You’d have to wonder how many go tonight. Outdoor venue. Currently 6.4c.
I’d say many who secured seats won’t go tonight. I’m one!

Not too bad all things considered. Covid times and a bitterly cold night.

I thought it looked like more than that,most of them would of been Essendon fans.

In these covid times plus freezing cold 6 degrees "anything over 20K" at marvel even being a Friday night game is more than fine.
