Carlton V Richmond no longer in the Big 4?

[The Truth]

Barely 50,000 there with Carlton playing for a spot in the 8, in dry weather.

These 2 clubs really do need games on special occasions to get good crowds. Where's the nearly 40,000 odd extra that were there for the round 1 match?
Oh that's right, it's not the opening game of the season.
It's not Cousins' first game for the Tigers.
There's no over-hyped build up for Cousins V Judd.
It's not Judd's first game for the Blues (last season).

The AFL should really look at only scheduling these 2 teams on public holidays, or the opening game of the season.
Even Bulldogs V Pies got more last night, at a crappy stadium

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

I can understand your embarassment at the crowd drop off. Lemme guess, you were 1 of the 40,000 that didn't show?

 

[Riggy1]

and Essendon dont have that many fans so the AFL moved your games from ANZ Stadium to SCG when in Sydney

Geelong
Hawthorn
West Coast
Collingwood

are the modern big 4

Carlton = 771,362 (with 90,000 BB to come)

Essendon 769,884

As I said.....

Piffle interstate franchises don't count. We are talking Vic sides.

fair enough

Brisbane
Carlton
Collingwood
Essendon
Fremantle
Geelong
Hawthorn
Melbourne
North Melbourne
Richmond
St Kilda
Sydney
West Coast
and
Western Bulldogs

dont count. Thanks for clearing that up

lmfao when was the last time Carlton got 90,000 to a match?

And again, relying on Collingwood to draw the numbers for you?
How many do you get at home against Freo & Port & West Coast & Adelaide?

Can't argue with any of that. Your username is quite apt on this occassion
Without relying on Collingwood or Essenson to draw the numbers for them, these 2 teams are no better than Geelong or Hawthorn

You had that massive hype at the start at the year and also with the tigers + we play much more at TD then you.

But i will say Both Club's are generally as big as each other

Fair point that's why i was saying pretty much both clubs are as big as each other

Black F.ag mustn't have the crowd numbers of Carlton's home games against the interstate sides on hand

[Riggy1]

minus outliers (anything 10k or more off the season average)

the big 4 are. In this order
Essendon
Hawthorn
Carlton
Collingwood

The Big 4 will always be Carl, Coll, Rich, Ess.

I'd love to get rid of Ess, but I guess we have no choice.

nah. There is a good chance that eventually Carlton OR Collingwood will lose their license for bringing the game into disrepute.

Carlton are a clean club with very a professional football dept.
