Where does this rate in terms of crowd figures for the round?

 

[Ron The Bear]

I think it's the third-highest ever, after R22 1998 and R1 this year.

and that was with a game at Geelong and hardly any at Blues v Kangas and a disappointing crowd at Dogs v Hawks

Every year the AFL should schedule a round to try and break the current crowd record.

30K for North vs an ordinary VFL side wasn't that bad.

They could call it 'Cash-Grab Round'. I propose $15 hotdogs and toilet entry fees.

We only need 94,177 (11,772 ave) in the last round to beat the season H&A record set in 2005 of 6,282,425

Like the old saying, "when Geelongs strong the league is strong"

when geelong is strong they should play more games at TD, they seem to regularly get crowds of 40k+ there

and of course its right next to Spencer Street Station for the Geelong trains

I didn't think the Dogs/Hawks turnout was that bad. The Bulldogs only got 18,000 against the Demons a few weeks ago on the Saturday Night, given it was a Sunday early game - the worst drawing time, and Hawk fans don't generally turnout in huge numbers to the Dome I thought the turnout was 5-6,000 more then I expected.

With that said, the Essendon/Richmond and Collingwood/Sydney games made the round from a crowds perspective...the Essendon supporter turnout especially was exceptional.

Edited for accuracy.
