Loved the crowd

Oh... It'd be tight.
Hawthorn are so far out in front along with St.Kilda then Essendon.
But how can you say Collingwood have more fans in Tasmania? If Essendon ever play up here at Aurora Stadium there will be a lot of disappointed people who won't get tickets.

I agree that Essendon and Collingwood are the powerhouses as far as having National Fanbases. It's quite amazing really.

I'm pretty sure it would be the same if Collingwood played at Aurora!

Well that is debateable? Collingwood Last year played an NAB cup match at the Gold Coast against the Kangaroos in front of 11,000 (1,000 more the Brisbane Essendon) About 8,000 were easily Pie fans. Collingwood in round 9 played Brisbane at the Gabba in front of 32,000. Easily btw 10-15,000 were Collingwood fans (Even Jason Dunstall who was commentaiting the match could not believe the amount of Collingwood Supporters at the match). If you ask most people who live in Queensland who is the most popular Victorian Team in Victoria most people will say Collingwood.

Like I said Before Essendon are More Popular in W.A and N.T.
Collingwood are more popular in Vic, S.A, QLD, N.S.W and Tasmania.

There were 300 to 400 at last year's (Sheedy&Hirds last match) Subiaco training session..on a work day...for 45 measly minutes.

There are Essendon supporters everywhere in Perth. Its great
