Pretty much. Richmond's mean average home crowd is 54895 to West Coast's 53212 yet West Coast has a higher median average of 52829 to Richmond's 48850. Richmond has massive outliers with a range of 57281 (higher than their average), West Coast's range is a mere 7100. No football club in the...

Collingwood will smash the Eagles regardless of Darling and Kennedy playing or (most likely) not.

Underrated post, and I think it has bitten the Eagles in the arse a few times in the finals. Tadhg Kennelly openly admitted he held Sampi in the 2005 GF but that he accurately gambled that" it'd take a very brave Umpire to call him on it". I wouldn't say Final's officiating is "fairer", but it...

Mellow out, geez. Yet you're still wrong as its Penrith that has the biggest and most profitable Leagues Club in Australia.

The era of "Built it and they will come" is long gone. It's all about sticking the balance between maximizing attendance vs maintaining high demand. All around the world over the last 20 years Sporting clubs have replaced their 30/40 year old stadiums and arenas for smaller ones with greater...

What, like in the glorious indian summer we are having? No, nothing to do at all :rolleyes:

There's obviously numerous metrics in determining which is the "biggest" AFL club. To say Australia's biggest club is more tricky when you consider the habits of NRL fans. I recall reading a couple years ago that the Brisbane Broncos were valued as the most valuable Sporting club in Australia...

The WACA site was ruled out by the Stadium taskforce in 2007 for being too small.

I think it had something to to with not going head to head with the Broncos. Almost certain the Lions requested Saturday night fixtures.

Port beat the Swans at the SCG last year too. They might be developing a decent match up against the Swannies.

Nobody likes the late Sunday timeslot bar Craig Hutchison (but only for WCE and Freo)

May have been because the Eagles game started while it was still daylight, greatly diminishing the effect of an LED spectacle

I remember once reading there were 60 016 permanent seats, probably from the Skyscrapercity forum. Not long ago there was the ABC article stating that the Westadium Consortium had not satisfied the Brief requirements of 60 000 unobstructed seats. This has yet to be resolved.

Wouldn't mind something like that

I doubt the Eagles will get 55 000 each week

;) Some are also calling the Stadium "Jeff".

That's exactly where it came from. Populous wrote the design Brief for the WA Gov. They proposed the "Cake Tin" option when an Etihad/Stade de France style movable ground tier was deemed beyond feasible requirements, considering how often Perth needed a rectangular configured Stadium that held...

They're not looking to expand capacity, just raise the standard of amenity on offer. I did see a draft master plan (http://www.bfarchitects.com/woolloongabba-stadium/) which proposed rebuilding the very shallow gradient ground tier (that surrounds all but the northern wing of the ground)...

It's always funny seeing SJW types self cannibalize. The Project Panel must have been squirming being called out in a Purity test by one who claims higher victimhood than them.

...If Scott McLaren did his job and called the Tadhg Kennelly hold on Ashley Sampi in the Leo Barry moment? Would certainly have backed Sampi to kick the goal after the siren to win the 2005 Premiership.

Gill doesn't want to make things more awkward with McVeigh and the Colas

Walls is just regurgitating shit we all know from 10 years ago. Woosha has never been a particular strong matchday tactician, he's a great backer and motivator of players.

I really don't see the NRL double header as a problem. It's a great opportunity to iron out the kinks in game Day management at half capacity before a full house in Round One.

Crows couldn't do it for Goodwin but Pyke came through for the Eagles

Well Etihad, the Gabba and SCG are shorter than the MCG
