To the tv watching eye there are easily more seats empty than Carlton/Essendon but Fox are claiming 89k.

I don't know about that. I am here and it looks full to the brim.

I assume so, for 89k! (Now 92k!)
It’s just what shows on the tv angles.
No big gaps, just the odd ones here and there which weren’t as obvious to me for the other big game I wasn’t actually there for.

This will be the 2nd season ever with two 90k games.
Hawthorn’s biggest H&A crowd ever, awaiting final confirmation.

If it’s 92k, yes.

Actually, Hawthorn’s record is just under 93k (not just under 92k as I misremembered), so may not break that one.

Just missed Hawthorn and also Richmond’s highest crowds by a few hundred.

92,311 - 8th highest crowd ever.
Biggest crowd not involving Collingwood.
2nd best for both clubs.
Biggest non public holiday crowd as well I think.

Hopefully that crowd shuts up the AFL media saying Dustin should’ve played his 300th in Adelaide. Now Pies fans have seen this crowd, there’s every reason to suggest they get 90k+ for Pendles’ 400th.
An amazing crowd. Well done Tigs.
, how many sellouts have we had this year? You'd think they'd mostly still sellout with an 105 or 110k capacity stadium.
As soon as I wrote this (six days ago), I immediately resigned myself to the fact that today’s game was going to make a fool of me.
I’m not only happy to admit I was wrong, but I’ll put my hand up and say that aside from Anzac Day 95, today’s crowd was the best H&A crowd I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.
The only comparable turnout I can think of was the 88k for Essendon vs Richmond in 2007 for Sheedy and Hird’s last game in Rd21 when both team’s seasons were over. And today’s crowd was better.
Bravo to everyone who made it to the G today, what a great testament to the public fascination with Dustin Martin.
