I'm with you some of the Saints crowds at Marvel have also been ordinary but it would be better for maybe 40k at Marvel than at the MCG!

That crowd looked great on TV although there were a few empty seats.
You're going to get 10-15k less at Marvel because of the MCC members and a much smaller AFL members reserve.
Is the 7,474,722 figure a record total?

A couple 90k+ finals which is great but it would look awful to play a final that won’t be more than 55k at the mcg. If they ever do an exception to get a final played at marvel this saints vs gws game should be it.
I don't think it will make too much of a difference, it's finals time. Just for an example in 2018 Rich V Hawks got 91,446 in absolute pouring rain. There will be between 90-95K

Chart time:
A new record total of 7,474,722 achieved with the help of the extra round. The average of 36,110 is fifth best behind the years 2007-2010. It's the best since GWS and Gold Coast joined.
Collingwood made it three years in a row as #1 for overall crowds with a new record total of 1,384,827. Last 60 seasons (excl 2019-20):
Full history since records began:
Despite strong crowds from all of Carlton, Richmond and Essendon the gap between 1st and 2nd was the highest it's been for a decade:
Collingwood also set a new record for home games (does not include Gather Round) of 720,696:
However they missed the record for away games by ~2,500. It's now 55 times out of the last 70 seasons that Collingwood have had the largest away crowds:
Four new entries to the top 50 seasons of all time - Collingwood at #1, Carlton at #13, Richmond at #14 and Essendon at #28.

MCC update for the Saints vs Giants.
Provisional MCC members offered the opportunity to purchase reserved seats ($12 upgrade) or scan with their card to get access to levels 1 and 4 of the members reserve.

Don't think it beat the Carlton Brisbane game. That looked like there was a fire alarm at 3/4 time

Interesting fixturing. Would've had the Carlton EF a lock for Thurs, and the Lions QF in the 3:20 Saturday timeslot. Maybe the Panthers losing on the weekend had something to do with it.

They generally don't like give the EF a day advantage over the loser of the QF

Lions/Port will host StKilda/GWS, so there's no advantage to begin with.

I think he meant if Carlton/Syd was on Thursday the winner would have an advantage over the loser of Coll/Melb who would play on Friday.

I had no idea mcc members could pretty much just show up for finals. I would have thought all finals required some form of a token payment at least.
Do AFL members have to pay for finals tickets?

Yes - although the first couple of weeks are pretty cheap - $22.
AFL members can scan in for lower demand finals. I’d imagine members can scan into the Saints Giants match.
