So it will be smaller than last years crowd?
yes, actually I do MT. Id love it to be 40k, but attendances are a bit soft across the board this year... I'll be getting up at 4.30am to watch it on SkySports but there is spirit.
Attendance V Freo will be interesting.

The weather is shocking !
Will be under 40k.
Would have been 40-45k if it was sunny.

Well we were a party of 4 with a 1 yr old, might be down to a party of 3. Weather is a real worry for those taking kids as only the GA has any cover from the rain. Without the baby and car though I might hit the juice. Always an upside.
It barely even rained today, in fact it wasn't even rain it was the light drizzle. It's clearing up now so you better get to the G!

Would have got 46k and broke the record against Freo if it was sunny all day or we were in the 8.
The sleeping giant awoke only for the players to put it back to sleep again.

Excellent crowd. How many other clubs would match that? Not many I wouldn't think.

It was the biggest EVER Freo away attendance against a team not sitting in the top 8.
It was the 6th biggest ever away attendance for freo full stop with Adelaide and Collingwood drawing the other 5.
To answer your question in the right circumstances Collingwood, Essendon and Adelaide could possibly approach that whilst 10th and 5 and 5 but no one else could. Carlton could not draw 44,000 V Freo in mid ladder in mid season. Everyone else would be miles away.

44k in the wet was excellent. Imagine it was dry and we were on top of the ladder. 50k easy lol

It was better than just excellent MT. It was unprecedented. No one has ever drawn that corwd whilst outside the top 8.

And we could have smashed it in the sun. Disappointed we lost though. Would have thought we could have beaten Freo considering we only make the finals once every decade and once again we failed with a top 8 spot ours for the taking

Obviously better to win but there will be roadblocks along the way. We will win next wek and come back to melbourne after the bye at 6 and 6 with a winnable game. No need to panic or lose heart.
As for the weather. Of course we have to take it as we find it as does everyone. Anyway the only way is up.

43K is a monster crowd with the shit weather that spread from the morning to the last whistle..would have broken 50K in a hand canter had it been ok weatherwise and the bonus would have been that the 50K + would have witnessed another win...the wet beat us..the end..

Was almost 44k. The Pies would have matched us only. Bombers and Carlton would pull this against Brisbane or West Coast who pull a handfull to games

I think that in exceptional circumstances Essendon could probably do it.
Definitely Carlton could not do it mid ladder in mid season. No chance at all. Frankly I think we will easily outdraw Carlton once we go top 8. No other club is remotely relevant to the discussion.

One postive out of Yesterday.
Great turnout and we even outdid Essendon's home game under a roof with Sydney playing them which have more Melbourne support.
We aren't even firing yet.

What I find more interesting is the Essendon v Sydney crowd...
Top 4 teams, under the roof/no rain, saturday night...
Sydney would have a shitload more supporters than freo in melbourne so why this number...
embarrassing !
