Games at MCG: 13
Games at Interstate: 5
Games at Marvel: 4

Attendence Prediction Notes:

  • Based on my win/loss predictions and my ladder predictions for each club
  • Clubs best attendance against a interstate clubs: 60K v Bris
  • Port Adelaide’s best attendance outside there first game v Collingwood.
  • GWS best attendance in Melbourne
  • 86,000 is generally the cap for H/A crowds at the MCG
  • Subject to form and doesn't account for weather.

Attendence:

Home: 738,000 Ave: 67,090 (AFL, Richmond Record)
Away: 552,000 Ave: 50,181 (Richmond Record)
Total: 1,290,000 Ave: 58,636 (Richmond Record, 2nd Highest for AFL)

Attendence: Accounting for Weather and other Factors:

Home: 698,000 (-40K) Ave: 63,455 (AFL, Richmond Record)
Away: 532,000 (-20K) Ave: 48,636
Total: 1,230,000 Ave: 55,909 (Richmond Record)

Collingwood’s perfect Attendance (Not accounting for Weather and other factors) is
Home: 707,000: Ave: 64,272 (Less than ours)
Total: 1,354,000: Ave: 61,545 (More than ours)

Collingwood's ability to get great Away crowds is amazing.
IMO, it's a combination of the fixture they get and there national support.
Our home attendances are bigger because most of our supporters are in Melbourne.
Collingwood have supporters across Australia.

Pies, Bombers win primetime battle


Chris Cavanagh

COLLINGWOOD and Essendon have been the big winners in the 2019 AFL Fixture, securing many of the key prime time slots.

On the back of their Grand Final appearance this year, the Magpies have been handed two Thursday night games along with seven Friday night fixtures, on top of key fixtures including their traditional Anzac Day clash with Essendon.

The Bombers have landed two Thursday night matches as well as four Friday night games, while Richmond has three Thursday and three Friday night games scheduled.

The wins for three of the ‘Big Four’ Victorian clubs have come at the expense of other teams like Cartlon, St Kilda and Western Bulldogs.

The Saints enjoy no prime time slots on Thursday of Friday nights, while the Blues and Bulldogs have just one each.

Fremantle and Gold Coast join St Kilda as the only clubs without prime time matches.

The AFL has scheduled eight Thursday night games in total this year.

It's going to blow up in the AFL's and C7's face when pies struggle against better opposition and Essendon just struggle as they always do after a summer of overblown hype.

Every time the AFL throw all their eggs into the one club basket on the back of one good year or some dead rubber end of season wins, it always backfires on them.

I think they classify Thursday night and Friday night games in the same category according to exposure and ratings. I would even hazard a guess and say that a Thursday night game would come close to out rating Friday night games on the same weekend.

No doubt in the same category except the major one concern for most of us.School/work the next day.Its an 18 club comp.Every side should only do it once a year at best.Or more the point there are 8 performing sides who should get it once a year if the AFL are doing it for ratings(Which they are).
We cop it each year because of the deal with Carlton.I'm fine with that.But that should be the end of it for us.

Jake Niall from the Age claiming Pies have more difficult draw. Would not mind first 7/8 at the G. Combined with travel in first nine rounds we have been given no favours at all. Yet the PIES......

No way .. we are a good chance to be 11 wins 2 losses before the bye.

Great fixture

2 losses being Melbourne ANZAC eve and Adelaide in Adelaide.

Away wins against GWS, Port & Freo

Agreed.
I quickly read over the fixture but I then had a better look, 14 wins locked in.

Then we finish with 7 games at the G.

Bring on 2019

I'm stoked at the fixture, we play Collingwood, Carlton & GWS, Port Adelaide & Melbourne twice.

There's only 2 teams I have concerns about next year thats Melbourne & West Coast and we get West Coast at the G and not have to play them at fortress Optus Stadium.

Thats bloody awesome.

It would have been better if the AFL gave us Geelong twice instead of Melbourne but you cant win them all.

If we come out hard the year opens up for us. But if we start slow (apart from round 1 obviously) it could be a tough year to catch the leaders. (I sound like Captain Obvious).

Be interesting to see how Dimma et al coach us for 2019. Start fully on to open up a gap, then some soft patches in our draw where we have a high training load (?). Or start slow aiming to be fully on come the finals. We should come home like a steam train though. Winning form is good form. Although our 2018 end of season form was winning, but not very good. :sick:

This yr Essendoom went 4-7 v top 8 & pies 1-7 in H&A so there really is no basis to ram those 2 Clubs down our throats every week....
