Have they?
24k vs Adelaide
23k vs Fremantle
23k vs Gold Coast
29k vs North Melbourne
And another low 20k’s crowd vs Port
I’d reckon that’s disappointing crowds for a big club

Essendon’s season never got started. Essendon people in part decided pretty early not to go this year. It’s Marvel crowds have been poor, terrible today. However a dispirited team playing for nothing at 4:40 Sunday at the end of the season was never going to draw well.
Its MCG crowds have been ok.
In the end, Essendon will want to start 2023 with a little bit of effort and intensity to get its fans back to support the team. Until then, we watch on TV with mediocre interest.

We have had 21 consecutive seasons now of not finishing higher than 7th at the end of the H&A season. Can’t expect any better re crowds.

It wasn't a hawks replacement game. What a fantastic crowd of almost 60K. At the ground, I thought this looks like 55-60K, then by qtr time I thought it may top 60K. As MattF185 said the Tiger army was pretty loud, a sniff of finals in the air
Next week Ess V Rich, the last home game for the bombers. What's your guestimate?

Essendon people won’t go. It’s the last game with nothing to play for and the team called time on the season last week anyway, today’s Marvel crowd being proof of this.It wasn't a hawks replacement game.

Essendon supporters probably won’t bother even watching it on TV!
It was a Hawks replacement game. Plenty of Hawks there. Top deck chockers. Couldn’t get a pie anywhere.It wasn't a hawks replacement game. What a fantastic crowd of almost 60K.

I’ll say 46,000 next Saturday night. Richmond fans will have to accept buying tickets up the top of the Ponsford Stand for this one.It wasn't a hawks replacement game.

You’re right. My apologies.
Fair enough. There weren't heaps of hawks fans there and just assumed it wasn't a replacement game. Thanx for clearing that up.

Weird situation where both Carlton and Collingwood losing is probably only going to make their meeting next week bigger. Everything will be on the line.
I hope it tops 50K (weather permitting). Hopefully, there will be many available spots on level 1 or is that mostly all Essendon reserve seat holders?
And 75% of Essendon reserved seats on the first three levels will be vacant
I'm an AFL reserve Richmond gold member and have seats on Level 2, so I'm all good.
I have some friends coming and I said you should be able to get seats on level 1 'punt road end' but after seeing this, I will direct them to the city end.
The few I know who regularly go with kids can't go to these games due to kids footy. Probably today and next week due to kids footy wrapping up this week but usually kids footy is on between 10am and 5pm Sundays.

There’s pro’s and con’s with literally every single time slot. Can’t cater for every single fan, unfortunately.
That I don't disagree with. But Sunday as a whole isn't seen as a fan friendly day by majority of fans. There is a reason they have Sunday funday and other intensives on Sunday's to get people through the gate. And that was my point.

Bombers have 84,500 odd members (record for us) this year and this is what the club dished out today. Pathetic.
Saying that, if Hurley plays one last time a few of us might go. I genuinely hope 50,000 + next Saturday against one of our big rivals.
