Isb’t Brad tips like the new kiss of death as Lou Richard’s many years ago?

If so.. then damn!

I'll be disappointed if there's less than 80k at the Richmond Carlton game, considering the hype around the two clubs going into 2023.

Imagine if Blues v Tigers get less than Cats vs Pies like OP suggests when Geelong fans are infamous for not travelling 1 hour down the road on weekday nights. That’d be actual embarrassing,

Surely not possible?

Blues to beat tigers by 8 points 86k mcg

Pies to beat cats by 18 points 87k mcg

North to beat west coast by 9 points 26k marvel (toss a coin)

I wouldn't say embarrassing. Just a little disappointing but both games will get healthy crowds regardless. Geelong still get a good turnout and Collingwood are Collingwood.

The numbers should be similar to round 1, 2019 (85,000 and 78,000).

North would be reasonably happy with a loss under 50 points.
