I remember 2013 well there were 35 to 40K blues fans albiet we finished 9th and scraped in after we beat port by a point the week before. So that combined with the fact you had much higher member numbers affected the crowd split. North had good representation in 2015 easy 30 to 35K Kangas. That leaves the Gws final like I said the final of a lifetime for the tigers and yes any vic team is capable of getting a crowd like that under similar circumstances. Like North in 74 and 75, Essendon in 83 blues in 86 (Bruce Doull farewell) Collingwood 1990 Cats 2007 etc..
Carlton fans didnt buy up their whole allocation so tigers fans bought into it hence the crazy split in the crowd.
Sorry all those teams u mentioned haven't played GWS who have literally no support bar pies who got 72K.
Do you know how hard it is to sell out a ground on your own (we did it when others do then they can boast about it). Ifs and maybes doesn't mean it can or will happen. I dont agree other Vic teams could do it, pies a very big club only got 72K to their first final in 5 years at the G.
In the 70's and 80's teams in Melbourne played each other so this comparison is not a true indication V playing a team like GWS.
Mate we are not talking 70K+ this i agree many vic teams in right circumstances could achieve but we are talking 95K+ (well over 90k.
Anyway happy to leave it there but in answer to the OP yes blues are bigger than the Dees
