You can discount it when it makes sense. You're trying to argue a point that St Kilda has more fan engagement than Sydney but then using a metric heavily influenced by your opposition in games. We all know St Kilda has poor fan engagement in the scheme of things. So we're not really "discounting" any particular metric, just highlighting that that metric doesn't align with the point you're making in this instance.
As I said, it’s a home ground no different to marquee games held this year by Collingwood for example, or even homes games at the G between teams like Collingwood, Melbourne, Essendon etc. That in itself shows we’re just plucking this when it’s convenient.
The point was that St Kilda has a higher home crowd attendance than Sydney, and the criticism directed in this respect is hypocritical/ironic, which is valid. That’s been validated by a number of time periods, even if we disregard this cherry picked game.
