Cheers

either Friday, Saturday or Sunday....

 

[Paul Kersey]

Probably Friday night at the MCG. Geelong vs North will be at the dome due to NM's inability to draw (see the Hawthorn vs North final last year).

 

[Whitten Oval]

I reckon it will be a Friday night game!! Thats going by last years 2 vs 3 Qualifying Final.

I hope you guys flog them WhittenOval , straight sets for the Hawkers coming up .

The Semi Final that drew 75000?

Unless all 4 finals are in Melbourne and/or North/St Kilda host an Elimination final against a non Victorian club all Victorian based finals should be at the MCG

 

[SriLankanCat]

It depends on who makes it. The AFL has a policy that all teams haev a minimum 6 day break if possible. Saints playing on sudnay in last round, so if they make it they wont play on the friday night.

Geelong play on the saturday in rd 22, so that means they are moire likely than no to play on saturday or sunday arvo. Id imagine as thye are the numebr one team the afl is likely to give them what they want more than anyone else, Id imagine the cats would want a day game at the MCG, good prep for a grand final

Crowd: 77,630 at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, 9th September

Obviously we're the worst 15-5 team in history

If Buddy ever learns to kick straight, you'd be unbeatable.

 

[Pigdog]

Obviously we're the worst 15-5 team in history

That's ok cause we are the worst 14-1-5 team in history too.

What's more surprising is that North are the best 12-1-7 team ever..

Nice research there.

QF: 77,630
SF: 74,981
PF: 43,953 (AAMI stadium, was a good attendance for Port)

All-Victorian finals in Melbourne will always draw real well, even if its the low drawing Vic clubs playing eachother ex. North Melbourne v Melbourne. The occasion of a "final" between old school VFL clubs that will bring fans out of the woodwork.

It's those low drawing Vic clubs hosting a Non-Victorian club in a final in Melbourne that can be a real worry (2005 Elimination Final, NM v PA, 25k?).

It has less to do with who is playing and more to do with where it is being played. Smaller Vic side vs Interstate side at TD and not the AFL allocated game means you are looking at an ordinary crowd.

AFL usually allocates their freebie tickets at the MCG and MCC/AFL members go to MCG games so your crowd is pumped by up up to an additional 25k. You will draw a reasonable crowd by default in a final at the MCG.

AFL could easily fudge their numbers to not have poor finals by loading low expected games at the MCG. You are left on your own pretty much at TD vs an interstate team that doesn't travel.

Both the QF and SF were heavily pro Geelong and Hawthorn crowds

Should be a good final then

I was at that SF and it was 60-40 at best.
Not what i'd call "heavily pro Hawthorn".

Got to disagree

Even the Ponsford Stand End (where the North cheersquad was located) was basically Hawthorn

 

[BLPC08]

Surely not on a Sunday, although the AFL have done stranger things (like in '97 when they played 3 of the opening week finals on the Sunday????)

Try 75-25

There was a bigger Adelaide turnout at the Elimination Final

Not a North supporting bay in sight

Wont happen
