Preview 2024 Second Elimination Final: Western Bulldogs v Hawthorn, 6 September 2024, 7.40pm @ MCG

[LRobbo]

Could genuinely be in the 95k-97k region next Friday night if the weather is good.

Same here.. TazHawk15 was kind enough to share his codes with me but no tickets left.

Goooone but glad that it is sold out and Hawks will have the crowd behind them.

could be a fair share of neutrals too given it's the only game on in Melbourne that weekend.

Hope it rains last Sunday it drizzled all day and we still scored plenty ……. it would also help to negate the Doggies tall forward line.

Relocated to SA 18 months back... I made the painfully financially responsible decision to watch it from my shed at home rather than fly over + pay for accom. First Melbourne based final I've missed since 2007 .

Despite my jealousy, awesome to see it's a sellout. Going to be a magical evening!

What’s the biggest crowd the Bulldogs have ever played in front of, outside of Grand Finals?

The 1961 grand final got 109 k

Not sure what next biggest but by the sounds of above talk I’m pretty sure it will be this match

Absolutely - I have no doubt Hawthorn will have more support (bigger club afterall) but there are three guarantees in life. Death, taxes and neutrals backing the Dogs over Hawthorn

The 2016 grand final was attended by 99,981 spectators. That's the second highest crowd to watch a game featuring the Bulldogs.

The 1961 grand final was attended by 107,935 spectators.

What’s the biggest crowd the Bulldogs have ever played in front of, outside of Grand Finals?

Highest crowd for a Bulldogs game outside of their grand finals is 94,101 for the 1956 preliminary final played between Collingwood and Footscray at the MCG. The next highest crowd for a non-grand final game is the 87,823 attendance at the 2016 semi-final between Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs.

The highest crowd Hawthorn has played in front of in a final other than a grand final is 91,471, for the 1963 semi-final between Hawthorn and Geelong.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

I thought the Tigers EF in 2018 was 92k?

91,446 for the qualifying final between Hawthorn and Richmond in 2018.

Flights from Perth booked, match tickets bought (level 2 wing ), melbourne based freo supporting brother locked in as bandwagon HOKball guest (and for my free accom while in town).

L F G!!!!!

 

[macdaddio]

Spent the whole day trying to get tickets and another friend was doing the same.
By the time it was our turn all tickets sold out in all sectors.
What a joke this ticketing process has become.
Rant over

 

[threesixpio]

My friend and I have tickets. Both horrible entitled Hawthorn supporters

If it’s a shellackathorning I am scared of how horrible I will be in public.

Cant wait

 

[Strebi3]

I’m in Q14 so I’m under cover and will absolutely not care if it pisses down. We play well in the wet and think it’ll impact the doggies talls

[grumbleguts]

I still remember that disgrace of a game where they targeted Sicily & umpires rode them home in the last. think it was the covid year.

anyway I expect they will target us physically to unsettle us starting with the moron in the headband

It was before covid, rnd 2 2019.

 

[Hawk Hawkins]

Good news: I got tickets.
Bad news: I’m closer to the trapped astronauts on the ISS than the players.

In the stratosphere that is Level 4

I think all the ticketing posts/gripes will be done now

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Secured tickets.

Day for Maginness.

CJ back in for Morrison if he plays well in the box hill game this weekend. Ward will be driving his case.

Serong next in keydefender, Scaife next in key forward, Seamus small defender and Wingard small forward.

Get keen
