Really feels like WA seems to be letting the league down. Interesting to see how Alberton crowds go once the redevelopment is finished. GWS are probably better suited to playing games at Henson Park, seem to get better crowds there as opposed to Blacktown.
GWS barely getting a bump vs Blacktown with that Henson Park crowd. I'm not sure where else they could possibly play ohter than their main stadium at the Showground, but they probably need to be playing further west than Henson if it's not boosting their numbers much.
Appears to be an approx 50%-70% increase on the Richmond game and West Coast games at Blacktown. It's also an increase of 35% of the Giants v Carlton game last year on the 01/10/2022 at Henson Park.
Pre-covid, 3,823 attended the Giants v Carlton game at Blacktown in 2019 so it's quite possible to get higher numbers out at Blacktown.

It was still free entry in 2019
I can't speak for West Coast, but Freos crowd was down because it was a midday start. Terrible time for a game, especially at Freo oval, where most of the crowd is forced into the open side.
Thanks for that.
Just had a look, looks like it changed to ticketed from 2021, will keep that in mind in future.

No probs at all
Yes, that is correct it went from free entry to ticketed in 2021 due to Covid management

Some games are still free as well. Would depend on the venue, teams etc. If it is still much hassle, then it is just easier to let the gates open.

Free entry for season-opener against Saints
Round 1's match against the Saints is non-ticketed, and free for all fans to attend

agreed
That's the first ive heard about one since it went to paid
Swans get the win against Collingwood in front of their largest home crowd 5722 – a very healthy crowd at Henson Park.
Who said AFLW football doesn't have a good following in Sydney and their crowds are putting to shame some of the traditional teams in Melbourne.

They certainly are. The Swans have done a terrific job. They’ve always had a strong female presence at their AFL games, pretty sure I read somewhere their proportion of total members being female has historically been as high as any club in the AFL. They’ve done a great job extending this innate support to their women’s matches. They also have the highest membership too(?). Certainly worth unpacking how they’ve done it.
The big Victorian clubs by comparison I think are doing a pretty ordinary job at driving attendances and membership. Of these, maybe I’m biased but Essendon probably doing the best of the big 4 clubs, succeeding in building a great team culture in their second season led by their Essendon supporting stars in Prespskis and Toogood. They’ve also put a lot of effort in building the connection between the team and Windy Hill using past legends (Simon Madden) to promote connection to the club and driving attendances which is proving effective. Fans being urged to ‘fill the hill’. The atmosphere at Windy Hill this year has been great with 3,812 there yesterday a promising crowd but still room for growth for sure.
The_Wookie have we seen a final 2023 AFLW membership breakdown? I know the Hawks (5,706) achieved a record and a great figure.

It's funny, the swans are the biggest sporting club in Sydney despite all the b.s media that comes out of there.

Whatever they're doing is working, only the Crows come close to their support levels at games. They deserve a home final.
Still one more round of AFLW for 2023, but some things are noticeable when it comes to teams average crowds.
For me the most evident is with the Perth and Adelaide teams, their average fluctuates each year based on which team gets to host the local derby/showdown.

Seen quite a few sources make lots of mistakes with the crowd numbers this year. Adelaide v Essendon was 3238 (not 2238), Essendon v St Kilda was 3915 (not 3195), Adelaide v North was 3632 (not 3362)... I could go on.

Crowds overall improved on last year when you back out the 4 games played at big stadiums (including a curtain raiser at the MCG)
All four of the teams that saw a 1K plus decrease in average crowds were also the 4 teams that hosted games at the MCG, Marvel, AO or Perth Stadium.
Every team except the Giants and maybe West Coast had an improvement in average home attendance
