Norm Smith Medallist
Great crowd and match to finish the season on.
I think the after match concert and meet the players on the sacred turf was also a wonderful innovation and should be expanded.What a terrific way for fans to connect to the G.
Over 100,000 is huge when you consider the other 1000,000 plus crowds back in the 1960 and 70s counted ALL the people in the G not just those who have a ticket so on that criteria yesterdays crowd would have been 115,000+
All the doom and gloom mongers in the media though out the season saying the drugs in sport would hurt the AFL were wrong as usual.
As an aside the NRL are really struggling to get big crowds in Sydney their two PFs with all NSW teams playing could only pull 82,318 in total
