Collingwood biggest crowd for the round against an interstate team. Pretty impressive
True. It may well happen again that a Vic club hosting an interstater draws the biggest crowd of the round in the Richmond V Freo game next week.
If weather is good you should get 45,000 against freo
It should clear 75k you'd think.
Apparently the MCG are predicting 52,000. Perhaps it will be perhaps it won't but the Train is running so all bets are off in terms of predicting what number turn out.
It's shaping as a pretty decent contest. Given there us no other decent game at the MCG this weekend it will also draw a sizable neutral following looking to see a good game between 2 strong teams. It's not far being off a blockbuster at the G so that will create greater interest from AFL and MCC members in particular, as it did a week ago for the Cats V Hawks. I think it should draw 50,000+.
Will be the biggest crowd Fremantle have played in front of for a regular season game in its history. Only need 46k to accomplish this, they already got 43k last year for the same fixture. The tiger train is rolling.
Richmond V Freo has got a bit spicy in recent games. About 35K two years ago with the Tiges in no kind of ladder position and about 43K last year with neither in the top 8 were good turnouts when ladder position is taken into account and the one point match in Perth earlier this year adds a bit of bite as well. Neither side has given up on a top 4 finish ( I admit unlikely for the Tigers ) and if the rain stays off it'll be fascinating to see what apretty much fully laden tiger train can draw V a traditionally poor drawing WA opponent.
Part thereof - I think it is less the stadium itself, more the multitude of teams that drives the supply and hence the variability. Exacerbated by the fact that most of the larger crowds within Melbourne owe more to the presence of locally-based away teams. When the stars align the result is magic, when the stars aren't aligned, not so crash hot. Further exacerbated by the outside influences of AFL Membership and MCC Membership seating which operate according to their vagaries.

Isn't their biggest ever crowd 46k (finals included?)
I think we'll get only 45k due to the weather.

Last year Collingwood got nearly 46k I think and Richmond got around 44.5k. I know the Richmond game it was raining and I believe the Collingwood game also had poor conditions as well.
Good weather, along with being the only game at the G meaning the neutral support should be strong, as well as the fact that it's two genuine finals teams (one being a premiership contender) playing, means it should push 50k and be the biggest attendance for a Freo game in Melbourne.
61373 V Swans @ ANZ finals 2006.
Only crowd over 50K.
Should break it week 1 of finals v Hawks or Cats. If not, definitely in a prelim here.
If ASADA announces its findings that week as has been mooted then it also has the potential to be the biggest, most feral crowd imaginable.

Sunday is showers and 12C
50k+ may depend upon how strong the bloody showers are. Cold is one thing, but if its pouring and bloody cold watching at home is very attractive

I've heard that the weather is horrible in Melb today. Lucky there's only one game on there today and it's at Etihad.

Bang in line with realistic expectations. Now that they have two on the bounce and are back in contention the Blues might buck up their act a bit.
I don't think Metricon will be big enough against the big clubs when they start putting some consistent wins together.
Reduce the frequency of games, should only be once every 2-3 years otherwise the novelty factor wears off.
