The weahter is looking good far and it doesnt matter if it rains late in the afternoon as the crowd will all be in by then hopefully in the 90k plus range and can the dumb TV commentators (apart from Brian Taylor who uaially gets close) stop predicting 90K plus sellouts when they don't know how many will actually turn up - so lets keep the total untill the end of the match when we know exactally how many fans attended the game!

It was the other way Carlton v Richmond/Collingwood form has a lot to do with it plus Big 4 clubs firing as the home team can bring 60,000 against anyone.

Looks like a huge amount of empties at the front of Q Ponsford and doesnt look like Walkups in the MCC is as strong as last nigjt. Probably low 80s.
It’s Collingwood reserved areas on level 4 in the ponsford that are empty

Biggest Queens/Kings Birthday crowd since this game was played as an annual standalone public holiday match in 2001.
Amazing crowd! This fixture if you remember used to be high 60,000s about 7-8 years ago! Now it consistently hits well over 75,000

There was a weird clump of seats empty on the top level of the Ponsford. Too many together to be simply reserved seat holders who didn’t show up. I would think it’s a stuff up somewhere along the line.
Pretty sure it’s people who have reserved bay memberships rather than reserved seats in those bays.
Might be a case of them choosing to reserve a seat elsewhere to make sure they had a seat.
Third highest H&A crowd between the two.
Only beaten by the:
99,256 from 1958 (highest crowd between any teams).
86,664 from 1964.
The only other times these two teams have reached 80,000 are:
83,578 in 2023
83,518 in 2018
80,231 in 1971
81,099 in 1960
And then a few crowds in the 70,000s and 60,000s.
That 1971 game really stands out given how rubbish the Dees were after Norm Smith left.
Edit: They went into that game (a non Public Holiday Game too) 5-0, and still missed the finals
Great crowd today but seriously where were the Melbourne supporters? Would of easily been 70,000 Collingwood fans today

Away game + a poor run of form didn't help their numbers.

Collingwood must be some chance of hitting 70K home average with MCG home games against the other 3 of the big 4, Geelong and Brisbane to come. Need to average a smidgen over 79K.

This round's total of 359,103 is the 4th highest of the 380 rounds to have exactly 8 games.
The average of 44,888 is the 7th best of all rounds ever.

Also, today's game was the biggest Collingwood home game against Melbourne, and Melbourne's 5th highest H & A crowd ever.
A quirk in the mix of Essendon home games this year is it has 6/11 of its home games against interstate teams. Includes GWS, Suns and Dockers with absurd situation the Dockers home game being scheduled at the MCG whilst the Saints and Swans home game earlier in the year at Marvel. That Swabs one in particular looming as a major lockout missed opportunity for thousands of fans.
It puts a ceiling on potential home aggregate for the year with home games against Suns, Dockers, Eagles, Crows and Swans to come. It could’ve potentially been a big attendance year for them if their form holds through.
