Are these the channel 7 games or fox?Saturday night games at the G against GWS and Port have scary, sub 20k potential if our terrible form continues (it will).

That Essendon Marvel home average of 41,418 is just about the ceiling for Essendon, certainly for games that aren’t ’must see’ matches.Friday night takes the Blues season average to 61,755 for home matches (#2 in the league, but likely #1 at the end of the round as Essendons average will drop a little after todays game to just over 60k), and 76,483 for its 4 MCG games.
88,362 v Pies (MCG)
83,881 v Tigs (MCG)
75,218 v Cats (MCG)
58,472 v Dees (MCG)
46,283 v Crows (Marvel)
40,474 v Giants (Marvel)
39,597 v Suns (Marvel)
Note also: Away games against the Bombers (88,362) and Cats (87,775), helps the blues to 817,241 for the season - temporarily at least giving them a narrow lead to #1 for home and away attendance for the season, but almost all Blues matches for the rest of the season are at Marvel, and none are exactly blockbuster material.
Blues have a better Marvel average than the Dons this season (42,218 to 41,610)

AFL broadcasting guide is a better bet.Hmm. This site says otherwise with Ess v Suns in 7
Anyway i dont like footy anymore.
Yeah it has the potential, but not including big 4 games, you would be surprised how infrequently the opportunity presents with the way the AFL keep us hostage at Docklands and how they fixture our MCG games.A big club emerging from 30 years of wilderness has the potential to draw absolutely enormous crowds.
That kind of crowd is absolutely in the territory of any big 4 club home game vs gcs. Well done Freo fans.40,637 at Optus Stadium, becoming the largest crowd between Freo and Gold Coast by over 5,000.
Fremantle's crowds this year have been bloody awesome:40,637 at Perth Stadium, becoming the largest crowd between Freo and Gold Coast by over 5,000.
Edit: this is the third time the two teams have played at Perth Stadium. The first was actually a Gold Coast home game during the Commonwealth Games. The second was in 2021 with covid impacts crowd limits. So first time of an unrestricted crowd for a Freo home game at Perth Stadium.
That Essendon Marvel home average of 41,418 is just about the ceiling for Essendon, certainly for games that aren’t ’must see’ matches.
The Blues have approx 1,500 less reserved seat holders and this helps it still get max 45-46K into the ground compared to the Bombers ceiling 43-44k. This is based on where they start selling reserved seats at each clubs home games on level 3. Interesting, both clubs might need to revert to ‘members seating bays’ for their lower level reserved seat categories to get more seats filled at matches.
Reserved Bays where members are required to comfirm attendance and are then allocated a seat may work better.Preaching to the Choir.
Bays are the way forward.
Why sell 50,000 seats when you can sell 55,000 and get a full house.

Fascinating Rouel_14 , thank you for this info. Essendon have recently introduced a new ‘Gold’ member category offering ‘access to seating on level 2 at Marvel Stadium’ (S44-46). Clearly a trial and sign of what’s coming I’d say. Essendon would be pretty clear that a sell out at Marvel resulting in ‘only’ 40,840 seats used is a big missed opportunity on many fronts.View attachment 2029391
Interesting figures considering all the talk around member no shows affecting crowds.
Richmond half year membership update shows 50% of our 3121 membership show rate and 45% total membership average show rate.
Obviously based off a 2 win season to date.

I have no idea how tickets are selling but gut feel suggests this will draw ~73-75,000. I say this on basis these big club fixtures have been selling heaps of tickets upon being released to market based on previous sellouts. I get Tigers struggling but big Club clashes aren’t drawing 55-60,000 like they did pre covid. Footy crowds have exploded based on much earlier pre sales, locking in good crowds for apparent ordinary fixtures. I might be off the mark though.Some interesting games coming up this weekend but genuinely intrigued by two old foes at the home of footy!
Richmond v Carlon (MCG)
What are we thinking? Surely 55-60,000 ?!
