Prelims more important than this over-rated day.

NO! It's only 2 teams playing a normal roster match.
any final is bigger than anzac day. the anzac day match is not more special than another home-and-away match, only anzac day is special.
people have the day off and they're the two most popular teams in melbourne. are you telling me you're surprised at the crowds there? cos i'm not at all.
Prelims are vastly more important. Might not get the same crowds (though certainly they potentially could depending on who plays), but in the context of the season they are much bigger and more important.
Most people have the day off on a saturday or sunday too. Its the biggest game of the year bar the grand final and shall stay that way.
not too many people who arent fans of the bombers or the pies could give a crud about the anzac day fixture. its a regular game, played for four premiership points and nothing more, like the easter monday game, the queen's birthday match and any other game played on a 'normal' day.
Grand Final is the biggest and should be the most decorated by far if it wasn't for the lousy corporates whom couldn't give a rats about the two teams.
Prelims are huge and I dare say the atmosphere is at its best.
Anzac Day is the biggest day on the Home and Away fixture.

I would suggest that any game your own team is competing in is bigger than ANZAC day. ANZAC day is really just another gamne for 4 points between 2 teams I don't particularly like.
In fact, with all the misplaced bullshit patriotism, hype and self servedness of the teams involved, I now make a concious effort not to watch it.

Definitely not.
It's no bigger than any other Home and Away game, as it carries the same prize.
And obviously any final is bigger than this. Collingwood and Essendon supporters are the only ones who care about the result.

I love watching the ANZAC Day match, I think it's great...doesn't bother me that it's only done between Collingwood and Essendon, it's tradition.
However...to answer the question, I don't think it's the 2nd biggest, pre-lims and other finals matches are far more important, the prize is far bigger than in ANZAC Day matches and the teams are playing for survival.

You could start a thread in Bay13 'Are the Showdowns the second most important games in the season?' and it would probably get a lot of responses too.
For me personally it's the Grand Final, Prelims, any other finals, Western Derbies, then maybe the Anzac game, though I always look forward to the Showdowns too.

Because Essendon and Collingwood both have ordinary lists at present, and the games are generally of a poor standard like this year.
Still a hell of a lot better then watching Carlton play.

Head out of arse. Anzac day match is a just add water "Traditional" clash.
Hard to say. I'd say yes in terms of the football world being focused on one game, especially when it is mid-week. But if Essendon and Collingwood met in the Prelim this year you would expect bigger hype and a 95000+ crowd.
Not even close
All finals are much bigger, if crowds is all ur interested in have a look at the pies v dogs
rnd 10 during the H&A they drew 65K to a friday night game which many thought was a good turn out, but to the EF they drew 85K!!
Pies v Essendon in any final would be much bigger in terms of crowd and atmosphere than ANZAC day
ANZAC day is just like every other football game, this year they did the ANZAC bugle last post stuff, minute silence, and national anthem before all games in the round, so all teams payed tribute to the ANZAC's
this year the West Coast v Sydney game was a bigger event in importance to the season
