2010 Pies hold the record for highest watched club (attendance) 1,306,461, (not including Port game) we have 1,044,465, we need an averge of 43,666 for the next 6 games (including Port game) to break the record.

v Port 47k (I think)
v Blues expect 90+
v Hawks expect 65+
v Cats expect 80+
v Lions expect 45+ (FN Marvel)
v Bombers expect 85+ (even more if finals on the line for them)

So based on those numbers, we will finish with 1,456,465 (avg of 63.3k per game) - even with an extra game (away in SA) we still would have finished well over 1.4 million

What a ****en sensational club we all barrack for

lets hope a flag & Naicos Brownlow for the perfect 2023 season

Can I get a record like for this please :)

For the record

Pies have 25 years x over 1 million attendance - 5 of which Vic Park was our home ground.

Dons next with 16 years
Tigers with 6 years (and MCG home ground)
Blues with 5 years

no other club other than the above
Doubt the Dons will crack a million anytime soon either
 
I see Buddy Franklin has retired today.
He's been a human highlight machine - just a wonderful player.
A shame he didn't play in black and white.
So, so hated him when he turned it on against us.
But any other time, what a pleasure it was to watch him at the height of his powers.
A huge man doing the things little men do. The agility, the speed, the strength and the skill.
I think Bruce summed it up tonight when he said Buddy won’t just be a hall of famer, but a true legend of the game.
Anyone who thinks otherwise has nfi.

Buddy is a star but he is one of those players I feel were blessed with incredible advantages. Given his size and athleticism he has simply done what he should have done with such an advantage over his opponents. Players like Selwood , Greg Williams and even Tony Shaw blow my mind becasue they are small to mid sized, not particularly quick or athletic yet they found a way to have a huge impact on most games they played in despite their lack of weapons.

I'd place Tom Hawkins in the same category. A monster of a man with athleticism who usually lined up on shorter, weaker opponents and played in a dominant team for most if not all of his career. He is a champion too, but he is also in the category of "so he should be!"

Whereas Jason Dunstall was a short, not overly big man who began as a decoy forward pocket and ended up one of our greatest full forwards in history. That's impressive.
 
So if Hardwick signs up for the Sun's gig on a 5 year contract, as being reported .. does that mean Port & Kenneth are now stuck with each other? Lol.
I said it a couple of weeks ago, dimma to the suns, Kenny extended, Carr to the tiger’s, and port supporters burn down Alberton, it’s poetic.

Most of the greats have advantages of some sort. Diesel's hand eye coordination and spatial awareness were incredible and as big a difference maker as Tomahawk's size.

And Dunstall was one of the quickest 100kg men over 5-10m the game has ever seen. Unstoppable speed on the lead
 
Zorko having a sook all week seems to have cost Touk a week. Can’t stand that flog Zorko.
And if you had your nuts squeezed would you just stfu or make a complaint.
A very reasonable complaint.
If this was allowed to pass then every defender in the game is armed with a new tool.
