51k Geelong vs West Coast is the lowest going back 5 years or so. Should pip that next week.
Saints got 39k at Etihad vs Sydney back in 2011.

If you say so.
You keep bringing up that 2011 finals crowd, it's not like they have been filling the house there for finals... still the second highest.
It's obvious Docklands turns people away from attending finals, which is another reason why it's a good thing it isn't being played there.
| Finals at Docklands | Year | Attendance |
| Geelong V Hawthorn | 2000 | 44,709 |
| St Kilda V Sydney | 2011 | 39,205 |
| Essendon V West Coast | 2002 | 37,475 |
| Hawthorn V Adelaide | 2007 | 36,534 |
| Hawthorn V Sydney | 2001 | 32,910 |
| Kangaroos V Port Adelaide | 2005 | 25,195 |
| St Kilda VIC Finals V Non-VIC | Year | Venue | Attendance |
| St Kilda V Sydney | 2005 | MCG | 73,344 |
| St Kilda V Sydney | 2004 | MCG | 50,671 |
| ST. Kilda V Bridbane | 1997 | Waverley | 50,035 |
| St Kilda V Sydney | 2011 | Docklands | 39,205 |
That's the first time in my life I've brought up the 2011 finals crowd.
Fascinating the difference between 2004 and 2005.
One a semi the other a Prelim I'd say.
And yet here you are scrolling through a football forum reading about people talking about crowds...
Couldn’t give a flying **** is there is 40k or 70k. 95% of the people will be supporting the Saints.
They have a better midfield than us so if that gets going then they’ll be hard to stop.
Ideally it’s a sunny day so we can use how big the G is and get our run and gun game going rather than a wet slog.
Should be great, first finals in Melbourne in over 10 years.

Right you are highest is very relevant. Maybe check in on which club averages the highest GF crowd. You will be surprised.Wars are tough. Why would you quote the second highest?highest not quite so convenient.
Feel free to post it, there would be sample size issues if it's the Saints.
Sam Edmund just now on SEN reporting 65,000+ tickets been sold for the game, still 5 days until Saturday… not bad given I was told 50-55k last week

War years, sample size....
Always something hey bud?
Been in 7, so I'm guessing 10 is your sample size min chips.
7 isn't enough when talking about averages, yes. It's like judging a test batsman after 3 and a half tests.

Yep and his 1 week ban stands.
That will hurt them as he's a very good defensive player.

It helps us that Bedford is missing this game but he is unlucky to miss a final for that, I wouldn't be too happy if a Saints player missed a final for that.
Bedford very stiff.
