38k at the scg is excellent for the 1:15pm slot against a bottom 4 side.

"for the 1:15pm slot"
I dont like comments like this. Different clubs perform differently in different time slots. Saturday Afternoon being a good slot for Sydney.

For example
Adelaide at Adelaide Oval - 43,741
Adelaide at Adelaide Oval Thursday Night - 46,342

Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval - 37,882
Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval Thursday Night - 35,643

1 club is 2.6k above average, the other is 2.2k below average

On the Saturday afternoon slot.
I believe it should only be hosted by 12 teams
The 10 Victorian teams, Sydney and Port Adelaide.

Saturday afternoon is traditional for state football. Hence why it makes sense for Victoria/Port Adelaide as it's the traditional timeslot for the clubs.
Whereas Sydney is huge for childrens sports on Sundays. Saturday has always been the logical option IMO for the Swans. location can be hard for Thursday/Friday Nights. Junior Football a hinderence to draw on Sunday. I believe most games there should be Saturday as there's a sizable obstacle to crowds in all other timeslots. (Other than maybe Sunday Twilight, but that seems to be given to Perth - Which makes sense when they're not a juggernaught)

Eagles Vs Bombers I think is sold out but they’re expecting 20mm+ of rain and 50km an hour winds and an awful forecast which is a pity because it will mean the standard of the game will be pretty ordinary

Yes.........The weather's the reason for the poor standard in this game...

I think you will find that over the last few years the swans average home crowds are better on Sunday's then they are on Saturday's.

You can set your watch by Collingwood/Bulldogs crowds at Docklands.

That’s 4 in a row that are all within about 700 of each other.

Jumped on yesterday morning at 10am to grab 2 tickets and the cheapest on offer was $247 each so decided hell no.

Does this show that the dogs are also now sitting at a low 40s max capacity like blues and dons home games?

To be fair the weather is pretty crazy out there today with the wind blowing a gale - plenty of reports of gardens sheds in pools and trampolines blowing down the road.

Gunna be a pretty crappy game to watch….

Maybe kicks might be blown the right the way so they hit a target
West Coast fans would be looking forward to seeing another win live. They have turned up when they have been uncompetitive surely they still turn up when they have to cop some rain and wind

New MCC membership intake for the 2026/27 season | MCC

The MCC Committee has confirmed the membership intake for the 2026/27 season.

The MCG games are a bit of a watch this weekend:

Friday Night: Hawks v Dogs (48,090 record in Melbourne)

Sunday Night: Dons v Blues (88,510 and 74,280 in past KB Eve games)

Monday: Pies v Dons (84,659 record since 2000)

Ticket sales for Friday Night are quite good and tracking in the 50,000’s and with the groundswell around the Big Freeze, a crowd of 90k to 95k is very possible on Monday. I have no idea how Sunday Night will draw (maybe late 60k / early 70k?)

Didn't realise Kings Birthday had already sold out

Looks like it will easily be the most attended Kings Birthday game

Public reserve sold out last night including heaps of Collingwood member returns especially level 4 in the Ponsford which has usually been empty for this game. But Q1-Q5 is going to be GA and pretty sure the back few rows of the ponsford is as well.

MCC has two rows left of level 4 in Q37 and they have already sold restricted view.

AFL only has standing room but knly at M17 standing so at least another 5 standing room areas to sell.

Think it will finally get above 85k but not sure it gets to 90.
