Does anyone know how the attendance for Saturday's double-header at Adelaide Oval will be calculated? Do both games (Essendon v Melbourne and Port Adelaide v Western Bulldogs) claim a sell-out of 45,115? Or do they split the crowd in half and get 50/50 each?
 
Interested to know if there is any site that has a correlation between handballs based on weather conditions


Eg Port Adelaide v Bulldogs in Round 5, 2023 (last weekend), had a fairly low number of handballs relative to the rain. There were 255 handballs in the game but the rain downfall had an impact I believe on the number of handballs.

They just took the count of how many people had entered the stadium at the end of the first game, and didn't take any off when they left, if they didn't stick around for the second game and just kept adding to the count as people entered for the second game's total. There was approx and hour gap between the two double header games on both Saturday and Sunday.

Thanks for answering this question. It does look like a bit of double-counting going on here. I am not sure everyone who attended the first game would have stayed for the second game, but I suppose the ticket was used on the day, so it gets counted as a "bum on a seat".

Of course it is double counting.

They only sold one ticket for one seat to cover 2 games. My mate and I would have been counted twice, we were in the same seat for both games, as we went to both games, my sister was sick so she couldn't come, I passed her ticket onto a friend, but she had to pull out on Saturday because she was called in to work, so her ticket whilst not counted as part of the 33k or 45k figure, would have been part of the - we have sold out the whole 53.5k tickets.
 
I'm wondering what is the most jumper variations a team has worn in a single season. Port Adelaide so far this year have worn the normal V home strip, the white V away strip, the 'prison-bar' guernsey, and a special Anzac themed guernsey with a different V. That's 4 different guernseys in the first 6 weeks. I assume we will also be wearing an Indigenous Round guernsey in a few weeks, bringing the total up to 5. Not sure yet if there are any plans for another.

Thanks again. As a local, you may be able to answer another question. In Melbourne, we heard the AFL bragging about all games being sold out due to overwhelming demand. We also heard of tickets for the Sydney v Richmond game being sold at half price to ensure a reasonable crowd turned up for a game between two non-SA teams.

What was the story with ticket sales for Gather Round? Were they being sold at a discounted price compared to other rounds?

Yes initially tickets were sold for free for club members involved in their game or games for the two double headers. Those club members could also buy tickets to other games when the window first opened for heavily discounted prices.

I could have bought tickets for the other 7 games not involving Port's double header for $75, I think it was $75, might have been $95. There was a discussion about it when that window opened, in a thread on the main board.

They also discounted seat prices when the window for members closed and it opened for the general public. Think it was $25 for an adult GA ticket. I know for Port and the crows game a GA ticket costs about $38 at the gate/internet as both clubs try and protect their 11 game season ticket holders and other members with limited game access ie 3 and 5 game passes. Other seats in better areas were sold less than for a standard Port or crows game, eg a $100 seat on the wing level 2 for normal games, was going for around $75.

The AFL like concerts and Olympics and Comm games had 2 or 3 releases of tickets to sold out games, a couple of weeks leading into the individual game, as AFL / SA government corporate allocations weren't taken up and were then put back in the pool for the public to buy.

The arvo before the Tigers v Swans games there was supposedly 1,000 tickets left to sell. The Friday morning driving to work, I was listening to SEN and they were giving away "the last 500 tickets" to the game for people who came into their studio in King William St to collect them.
 
After yesterday's ANZAC game much has been made of the crowd size and how it compares with the overall home and away record of 99,256 from 1958. For over 50 years this 1958 crowd was listed as being 99,346. Why was the crowd total altered during the last ten years and how was it known to decrease the total by 90 specifically?

It seems that it was incorrectly recorded in the first place, and the figure was only adjusted a few years back (along with lots of other MCG crowd figures): https://s.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL Tenant/AFL/Files/Attendance-alterations-from-1908.pdf

Ive got an interesting question here

Iwant to know how many Premiers - the previous year to winning that Premiership - lost a game by over 100 pts

Here are 2 examples i know of

Richmond in 2016 - round 23 v Syd Swans

Syd 25.14 164 to Rich 7.9 51

Geel Round 8 2006 v Coll

Coll 22.14 146 to Geel 6.8 44

That might be the trick to jagging a flag - getting flogged in a game the year before by 100 plus

But i wonder if there are any others where that has happened - hence the question

Essendon losing by 160 points in round 20, 1992 vs Hawthorn is the only other instance
 
If Hawthorn and the West Coast Eagles finish this season 17th and 18th, it will be just 8 years since they declined from 2015 grand finalists to last and second last in 2023. Would this be a record? The fastest amount of time I could find for the grand finalists of one year declining to the bottom two spots on the table is 13 years for Essendon and Carlton, which played the 1993 Grand Final and finished second last and last in 2006.

At the other end of the scale, what is the shortest period of time that it has taken for the bottom two teams to contest a Grand Final against each other? Least amount of time I could find was 14 years in the case of North Melbourne and Richmond, which were second last and wooden spooner in 1960 with the Tigers beating the Kangaroos in the 1974 Grand Final, but I could be mistaken.
 
Can anybody with a player database determine whether any club has produced players born on every birthdate of the year? (Doesn't matter if there are no February 29 players). If not, who is the closest to achieving this?
