Obviously impossible to keep track of all of the matches you've attended but estimate how many you've attended.

Since I've moved to Melbourne in 2008 combined with games before that I would be close to 100 I believe.
 
Close to every saints game in Melbourne since 2005. Takes a good reason for me to miss the footy!

Exceed 50 since 2008
 
Prolly around the 200-250 mark.
 
on average 10-15 games a year since around 1992.

Should bring up the 300 this year. (though if I counted back properly it's probably already been and gone)
Edited for R&B questions.

Three more interesting questions:
b) How many games have you attended where your team wasn't playing?
c) How many interstate games have you attended?
d) When did you see your first game?

For me:
a) anywhere from 280-330
b) Tough one, possibly 15 all up
c) 3 x SCG, 1 X Gabba, 1 x Gold Coast (North v Saints of all teams) 1 x S.A (Port final in 2004)
d) Waverly from memory, possibly in the 87-88 season. Would have been 8-9 years old
 
a) How many games have you attended?
Bloody good question!

Three more interesting questions:
b) How many games have you attended where your team wasn't playing?
c) How many interstate games have you attended?
d) When did you see your first game?

For me:
a) 250 or so ??? 300?
b) Maybe 20, quite enjoy a good game as a neutral
c) 5 (Gabba x 3, SCG x 2)
d) 1979 Elimination Final, VFL Park
 
150-200 or so. used to go to waverly park quite a bit, seen some great moments there. haha. the lights going out, the jacket waving.... i even remember robert harvey sitting in front of us at one game when i must of only been 8 or 9 in the early 90's. who would have thought at the time he'd go on to have another 15 odd years in the game. only been to 10 or so games since the 2005 gf. but never missed a swans home game between 97 and 03 or so when i moved up there.
 
On average 14-15 Dogs games a year since 1989 plus 21 finals. During High School I went to heaps of North and Hawthorn games with mates for $2 a game so somewhere in the 350-400 range
 
Probably about 75. Only 22 years old, and the bulk of the games i've seen were in the last 4 years, where I utilised my glorious MCC membership. How I love it.

Two more interesting questions:
b) How many games have you attended where your team wasn't playing?
c) How many interstate games have you attended?
d) When did you see your first game?


b) I'd say 80% of my viewed games these days are non-Saints games. I trek to Etihad every now and then but mostly attend Friday/Saturday night games at the G as a social event with my mates.
c) Just one, in Launceston. Hawks v Saints 2009 round 19 I believe
d) When I was a very young lad at Waverly, taken with my dad.

Writing this just brought back the memory of having a kick on the ground at the G and other venues at the end of the game. How good was that??

b) How many games have you attended where your team wasn't playing? Probably 10
c) How many interstate games have you attended? 1
d) When did you see your first game? Early 90's. Geelong v Hawks @ Waverley. Was so close to buying a Hawks scarf!

I'm the exception. I actually do have a list of every AFL I've attended... I think the tally is up to 69 games, or thereabouts, would have to check... I'm overseas so the last game I attended was 2 years ago.

Carlton is the most featured side in the the games I've seen live... have/had plenty of mates that barracked for Carlton.
 
a) Total games: 240-250 odd
b) Neutral games: Around 40
c) 4
d) I can't remember, a Melbourne game early '91
 
Since my first game in 1978 Ess v Melb at Windy Hill Ive been to about 25. Of those 15 where Geelong games. Very hard with football on both days most weekends.
 
I go to about 1-2 games a year. Overall probably seen about 30 games. If I lived in Melbourne that figure would be much higher. Once the AFL starts playing at Adelaide I will go more often, AAMI Stadium is too far for 2 teams I dont really care about. Don't go as much these days with uni, work, social life etc.
 
a)Total games - probably just over 200, on average 10-12 dockers games a year plus a fair few eagles games back in the day.
b) How many games have you attended where your team wasn't playing? - 6, 4 of them in one weekend in Melbourne, the others WCE matches with mates.
c) How many interstate games have you attended? 3
d) When did you see your first game? I used to go to wafl with my brothers and mum in the mid 80's but can only really remember my first game being rd 1 1987 seeing the eagles v richmond, though i dont remember the game more so just the event, i remember being on the ground after the match and getting autographs.

When I moved to Melbourne in 2009 I thought I would go to the footy every week and hit almost every Friday night game.

Hasn't turned out that way. I think I've been to three, maybe four, neutral games. Was really excited for Geelong vs. Hawthorn in round 1 2009. GF rematch, first game I'd be living in Melbourne, went along, bought GA and probably couldn't be further from the ground. It was a great game, but it was a sucky view. It's all about reserved seating these days.

I go to about 8 NM games a year but haven't been to one this year.
