Im fairly convinced that the AFL counts tickets sold/distributed and not actual attendance at GWS games. There isnt 19,000 in any imagery Ive seen so far.
Yeah that is the official number weather you like it or not!
BTW Double the NRL crowd of 9000 across the road at ANZ. How good is that?
The sellout crowd at the Gabba are making a lot of noise.
Lets hope they turn up next week against the Giants who they should beat on their home turf!

Total for Week 1 - 209,348.
This is the 19th biggest total for Week 1 and the 17th biggest out of the 26 years of a final 8 system.
Obviously the relatively low total is due to finals being hosted at 2 of the 3 smallest possible finals venues. All games this week were well attended, including a record at the Gabba and the 3rd largest Perth Stadium crowd.

Incidentally, the Geel/Coll game was the 10th game out of the last 12 finals at the MCG to exceed 90k.
It took 32 games to get the previous 10 90k+ finals and 49 and 53 to get the ones before that.
We haven't seen a run of big finals crowds like this since the 1970s.
Will be interesting to see the Geel/WC crowd next week, then hopefully both Prelims to be 90k as well.

You reckon? It holds 24k, I can see 5k empty seats being a pretty realistic estimate. It certainly looked a lot more than the 15k that was at the final against West Coast.
It was probably a bit more than I was expecting, although I only thought about 3k Dogs fans would be there, and it was probably 6-7k.
Geelong v WC won’t get 90 k
It’ll be quite interesting what they get.
75-80 k for mine

More like 55-60k I'd think.
SF weekend is never as strong for crowds. Inevitably there is one supporter base disappointed about the QF result.
Pretty much,
Geelong’s Semi Final MCG crowds against non Victorian clubs include...
2010 - Geelong v Fremantle 45,096
2013 - Geelong v Port Adelaide 52,722
2017 - Geelong v Sydney 55,524
The biggest Geelong MCG finals crowd against a non Victorian team going back to 1992 was 59,455 for a Preliminary Final against West Coast in 2011 (day fixture)
In the Herald Sun the AFL were hopeful that the Geelong v West Coast game could draw 80,000 but I really don’t see it
60,000 would be excellent, especially for a Friday Night fixture
The two PF’s could be monster crowds especially if it’s Richmond v Geelong and Collingwood v Brisbane Lions
If it was Rich v WCE and Coll v BL in that hypothetical I wonder which game would be the Series Ticket Game?
B2B 90k would be a lock
Richmond got 94k vs GWS.
Both Prelims are getting 90+ no matter who they are playing.
Tiger town on a Friday night and the pies out in force on Saturday.
If they both happen to salute, we will see 2 weeks in Melbourne this generation. Have never witnessed.

Wonder if the Cats/WC crowd will be down on expectations because of all the negativity from Geelong about it not being at KP and that filtering through to its fans.
I hope they get smacked too cos of Chris Scott's whinging
Also, if west coast some how won through the prelim and it was a repeat gf of last year they would be making their third cross continent trip in as many weeks.
If expectations are 80k, then yes.
It's a solid 50k game. 30-35k Cats fans, 5-10k Eagles, the rest neutrals.

Surely they remove that stupid verandah and screen above bench at the Gabba, coulda got 40k in for sure.
That said, the Gabba felt like I was at Princess park, 2nd rate facilities.

124k in brisbane...pretty good given the ashes and NRL on at the same time and it was a bit of a blow out in the end. NRL got 164k national metro on FTA.....it got smashed by the ashes in Sydney and brisbane despite it getting the primary CH 9 hd channel!

NRL was the most nothing game ever, Titans guaranteed last v Dragons guaranteed second last.
Having said that Channel 7 do need to put more of our games on the main channel next season. All 7.25pm Saturdays and 3.20pm Sundays would be a good start
