I know who those 3 people Jod23 failed to predict are.
I wasn't on this board at the time, so unfortunately I couldn't tip you off, but we had 3 visitors going to their first ever AFL game that day. Awfully sorry Jod23, I think my lateness in joining this board cost you a week in Werribee lol.

LOL!

Decision is made and tickets are booked. I'm going - keep the 9,000 locked in.
600km round trip and my team's not even playing? I must be a hard-core, incurable football-holic or something

The final crowd was 13,815

Note to self: You are a moron

 

[Mr Ripper]

Gotta love this on the AFL site re Geelong v Richmond...

Crowd: Approx 11,531

Approximately 11,531? They must have Dan doing the crowd estimates down there!

Ah, If I were you, I'd check my tip for the Lions-Crows attendance before any further self-condemnation!

 

[wagstaff]

The crowd for Carlton v West Coast was a 5217.

Interestingly, everyone here tipped the crowd would be higher then that, most by a considerable way. As I recall, on the 'Price Is Right', if all the contestants bid for a product was all above the total, Larry Edmur (for older viewers, Ian Turpie) would ask them to rebid again. Maybe that's what we should do - of course I'm not suggesting this because I'm, ahem, struggling somewhat.

We should've expected the crowd for the Blues match wouldn't have been high as their supporters don't seem to go to the ground in big numbers for interstate matches.

You're winning, actually.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Bugger....missed the 1st week. Can I enter next week with the usual penalty Rip???

Still, perhaps it's better if I'm fresher for the real thing!

 

[Mr Ripper]

Of course, GH. We're only in practice mode atm; none of this counts when The Real Stuff begins in 5 weeks.
