The Freo game in Perth was played at the same time as the Super Netball Grand Final at Perth Arena which set a record crowd of 13,902.
Rich V Eagles crowd - Good
Essendon V Swans - Great
40K to any domestic fixture anywhere in the world is a win.
The game has taken a hit post COVID but it is still the envy of many sports around the world.

I agree 100%!But we know the NRL have a history of inflating crowds!
Considering how few WC supporters would have been there it looked good on TV!And it looks like given the right conditions the crowds are slowly coming back.

In some respects the most encouraging round yet this year. At last, the covid hangover seems to be wearing off.
The Melbourne attendances were good. Richmonds 40K probably a par score all things considered. Essendon's crowd a great effort underlining the huge potential the Bombers have to draw at the gate given any encouragement. Carlton basically a sell out.. Speaking objectively it's great to have the Blues back where they should be helping to create a buzz about the game in Victoria.
Good efforts elsewhere as well. Freo back in the saddle.

The Melbourne crowds were very encouraging, I agree.
The Gold Coast crowd to me slightly disappointing, especially given the publicity surrounding it, the pre game show, school holidays and Suns arrival.. The rain mainly cleared well before match start so I though the pre match talk of 19-20K would be achieved. The Suns fans get their crowd friendly preferred time slot this weekend against the Tigers (4:35pm), so let’s hope it cracks the 17-18K range this week with the school holidays still running.
I thought the crowd in Perth was also very strong.
Crowds are broadly normalising.
Test for the Lions this week on Sunday. Well supported in QLD big Victorian club whilst not travelling well is still going to draw strong support and you’d hope these fixtures draw strong crowds. Back in the day these Lions fixtures would usually draw 30,000+. It’s a good test of the Lions support this weekend to see how strong their support is for decent fixtures in a good time slot. 30,000+ would be a really positive, and almost necessary marker of success for the home tram during this latest period of good on field fortunes.

Best round of the season for mine, bigger crowds and the games were umpired a lot better, brought back some physicality to the contest (despite the usual stuff ups I'm more talking the general approach to adjudication and not as many tiggy touch frees made it a lot more enjoyable to watch).

Next week hopefully should get some good crowds
Pies v North over 40k is a pass
Suns v Tigers 8 to 10k pass (Tiger army)
Lions v Bombers always a huge Essendon contingent 30K
Cats v Demons sell out?

I prefer our home games to be played in Geelong, then MCG, then Docklands in that order. But if we could get 11 (plus finals in weeks 1-2 if not prelim as well) in Geelong I'd take that every day of the week.
Every game this season is a sellout, the issue is that by far the majority of our seats are reserved season ticket holders, so hopefully anyone not able to make the game passes on their ticket to someone who can (or sells it back to the club). Geelong games should hit 40k every week once the new stand opens up, but whether people with season tickets do the right thing is what will hold it back to probably 35k or so average.
Here is a question the Stadium is about two thirds intact ATM but has a "sellout" of only19,000 is the new stand going to hold 21,000 to get to the 40,000 capacity when finished?
The full capacity this year is 26k and the new stand will seat/stand 14k. That makes 40k total.
Its a sellout because we have so many season ticket holders, but not all come to every game. So even if there are no tickets for sale we might not have a full crowd.
Thanks.

More than 105,000 junior attendees have flocked to AFL games around the country as part of the AFL's Kids Go Free month, which provided all kids under the age of 15 free tickets to any match.
The overall percentage of junior attendees for the rounds was 14.6 per cent, which sees an increase in pre-covid numbers of junior attendees based on the pre-covid average of 11.7 per cent for Sunday Funday promotions of junior attendance.
The Gold Coast v Collingwood match in round 16 had the highest percentage of juniors in the crowd at 21 per cent, which also marked the highest attended match this season at Metricon Stadium.
Round 15 Friday night's Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn attracted the highest percentage of juniors in Victoria for a single match with 20.6 per cent attendees.
The highest number of juniors at one single match was in round 15, Geelong Cats v Richmond – with 10,333 kids under the age of 14 in attendance to support both clubs
