Yep. About right. Grim areas for the Bombers. Scott doesn’t have long left.

Going by stats earlier in thread, lowest Dons home crowd at MCG since 1993.

Tickets selling well. Issue will be club members show rate.
It’s likely the game that could be for the wooden spoon and a 50/50 game. Who knows, they might turn up coz it’s a gory spectator worth pick one in the draft!
It might be but under the circumstances it was ok. Big 4 clubs have drawn in the 18-22k range on days where the sun was out…
Dint get me wrong it was a crap crowd but given the forecast and the how the side is going 25k is borderline respectable.

Dreamtime will be both clubs’ best chance of a win so that might drag a few along.
I’m not totally across what’s going on with this game regarding tickets. Seems to be selling well. I think GA members now have access… They’ve sold out all tickets in Ponsford top deck.
They’re selling back of Q10-15 so I think the GA areas will be Q1-6 (back sections) and possibly back sections of Q49-56. MCC selling ok.
Thing we don’t know is if Tigers reserved seat members show. It’s their marquee gane for the year so who knows.
Could be anything between 65-75k at this stage.
Our home game V dees for Anzac Day eve got 67K, which I thought was good, but I was hoping for 70K
I think, weather permitting, Dreamtime should get anywhere between 70-75K.
We have shown in the past that for marquee games, we roll up in very good numbers. 2024 our home game got almost 80K and last year, it was 76K
I think both sets of supporters will think they have a good chance of winning.
It's such a special game, and I think both the tigers and bombers supporters have gone to this game in very good numbers. Apart from 2015 (66K) it hasn't dipped under 70K. There have been about 6-7 games over 80K.

One in every hundred crowds should end in 00. By rights should be at least 2 of them every season.

A sign of crooked accounting (at least by humans) is excessive large digits numbers (eg 6,7,8,9). If the AFL was going to cook the books it'd have been reported as something like 25,968.
As an aside Victorian clubs are way more fickle with crowds than non-Vic clubs. Must be because Non-Vic clubs have less opportunities to watch games (and I try to go to every North game in Sydney as a more extreme example).

And every non Vic side has a bigger fan base than all Victorian clubs.

2nd worst crowd at Optus against us for West Coast - only the 2020 game had a lower attendance.

Put shit on Richmond, Essendon and Carlton all your like. They are going to finish 16th, 17th and 18th and all be in the top 6 attendance pullers of the year.
Yep, we chuck in some putrid crowds every now and then, but god we turn up long term.
Dreamtime Game
Ticketek have opened up the AFL members sections in the top deck for public sale. This has been actioned whilst from what I gather the below areas haven’t been out on sale, suggesting these will be GA on the night….
Q49-55 (back ~12 rows)
Q1-10 (back 10 rows)
I think this pattern of sales follows the Easter Monday template Hawkk
They haven’t released Q37-39 in the MCC for public sale abd given no GA in the Ponsford Stand likely means this section won’t be crowded on the night.
Feels like a crowd around 70-72k to me. Demand looks to be suggesting 75-78k but I expect a lower Richmond member show rate to some degree.

AFL Members around 70% sold for Dreamtime. Obviously with the public now getting access to some bays it might be fuller than that on the night, which tracks for a 70k+ crowd.

85k expected for the Pendelbury record game, but I wouldn't be surprised if it lands close to 90k.
Will also comfortably become the largest H&A crowd for game involving West Coast (currently 63k in 2012).
nice turn out, didnt end up going with family due to trash start time
