Of the 5 games today none could crack 20k and only one got above 15k, pathetic
Stop scheduling shit teams up there? Darwin's a pretty small city as well, 2 games a year is probably 1 too many.
Yeah not that great, but not that surprising either (games at Skoda, Launie, Darwin, Metricon and a low drawing game at Etihad).

Seemed to be a fair few port supporters there too!

When you play all the shit games at small grounds that tends to happen.
Both the Skoda crowd and Tassie crowd was good for their standards.
Launceston's much smaller than Darwin

I'm not sure if GWS have ever played in Darwin.
Actually, I'm pretty sure they haven't.
Wonder what the real crowd was at Skoda. Was way more than 11k.

People are just really bad judges on how to count.....

This. It would be nice if a figure could be posted without someone claiming a conspiracy to inflate/underplay the crowd.
Also, can we call a moratorium on estimating the breakdown of each team's contribution to the crowd total? They're usually the most deluded posts on Big Footy. Which is really saying something.
Why? its a forum and btw its the crowd thread, bottom line its just someones view like today id say Freo probably had a few hundred fans there max and the rest tigers well thats to be expected as they dont have a big following here...In all honesty i posted last week that the 1.10pm start could affect the crowd and i reckon it did, normally 7 of us go each week but today only 2 of us went cause the kids playing junior footy, mostly played between 10am and 12.30pm....
Ohh yeah i almost forgot to add that when i left to go to the game at 11.30am it was 7 degrees

Very disappointing actually, but I think the weather did scare away a lot mistakenly. The weather was horrid the day before, and I know I was expecting similar today. In the end, no rain but very bloody cold
Ok crowd! 40,000 at the game probably 38,000 Richmond fans cannot be too dissappointed! I honestly think that the only club when flying that can draw over 50,000 against freo in Collingwood.
not to mention the very early start time probably being inconvenient to some.
It was a disappointing crowd in all honesty. MCC and AFL members turnout was pretty poor.
If Freo had 2,000 fans attend the G today ill go heee, a few hundred, maybe 500 max...And they wouldve been at the city end, now back to your statement just out of curiosity how many times have Collingwood hit 50K against Freo? Tigers best was last year 43,801 in the rain and Pies record against freo is 45,383 (RD 1 2008)
40k against the likes of Fremantle, Port etc in Melbourne is still a tremendous crowd.
Crowds are a funny thing though, you would have thought given in wetter weather last year they got abit more against Fremantle that they would have toppled that figure today given it was a alot bigger game but obviously it doesn't always work out that way.

I think yesterday's weather would have put people off. I'm guessing people plan the day before whether they will go, so as the weather was shocking yesterday, some people think the weather will be similar and decide not to go.
40k is a good crowd against Freo, I just think most here would have thought it would have cracked at least 45k.
