2026 Attendances

[ep12]

Crowd is huge for a Melbourne hawthorn game. Should be 60

 

[ep12]

Going to be very close to the Anzac eve 67k. Personally think it’s a bit less but still a great effort.

68,557 at the MCG

 

[ep12]

68,587 at the g. ****ing brilliant

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Someone messed up Dogs members scanning in their cards only to get denied, whoops.

 

[Bald]

Fantastic effort to Dees/Hawks fans. I shat on Dees fans a couple of years ago for not turning up (aware I’m a Dogs fan), but in hindsight who could blame them. They were a chore to watch. This year I really enjoy watching them.

 

[txbyhull]

Goes to show how easy it is to get people at your games if you’re play exciting footy

 

[Cmarsh]

68,557 at the MCG

Is that the H&A record for the matchup?

Great crowd.

 

[Hawkk]

Is that the H&A record for the matchup?

Yes it is.

Tops the Merger game (Rd 22, 1996) which was 63,197. It’s the fourth game in a row between the clubs that’s drawn 50,000 plus.

What do you mean? Is it a Dogs replacement home game?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

What do you mean? Is it a Dogs replacement home game?

It’s still at Marvel, away game access and the like.

 

[Walshawk]

You have to remember that the 63k capacity is not being built for the Lions, it is being built for the Olympics.

Why do I need to remember that?

What was the stuff up? Is GA at full capacity?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

What was the stuff up? Is GA at full capacity?

Not 100% but the club was investigating. More sounds like barcodes weren’t approved.

 

[Cmarsh]

Why do I need to remember that?

Because I find there are all kinds of doubts the Lions will "fill their stadium", as if they are supposed to, and I agree its unrealistic to expect this regularly. It also comes from NRL fans who believe they are more deserving of a stadium upgrade. But people forget this is built for the Olympics, (where they will fill it each day of competition and the ceremonies), not the Lions.

It’s built for both. And cricket. If there was no Lions or Cricket, they would not be building a permanent 63k stadium.

Nor would they be building it without the Olympics. They needed the stadium to be that big for the Olympics, not for the Lions or cricket.

39,217 at Marvel Stadium

Good day of crowds

 

[Raz Man]

Good day of crowds

Unfortunately today won’t be a good day at the MCG for a rare Essendon/Fremantle match up. It’s a shame. If weather was great, I would’ve thought 30-35,000 now it’ll be bleak

 

[MattF185]

I’ll say 25k today for Dons Freo.
