The only thing you hear in the Perth Stadiums is the inevitable and cringeworthy BOOOOOOO
Doesn’t compare to actual real roar of the MCG.

Said the exact same thing to my lad. Not sure if it was late in the third or last quarter, but the Power chant was insane
Can confirm, the cheering is loud but the booing is always a step louder.
2018 QF at Optus against the Pies. When Jetta kicked his goal, also at the siren.
Never been to the G though.

Brisbane vs Geelong in late 2019 just after McCarthy marked it at the Gabba and then goaled. It seemed like the grandstand was shaking.

Yes mate. I was behind the goals at the Ponsford Stand end. Couldn’t even hear the siren as the crowd was already going nuts. Not just the usual cheering but mad, unhinged, primeval hysteria it was. The bloke next to me was just yelling “Siren! Siren!” but I never heard it myself.
2013 Prelim was almost as loud. Players didn’t hear the siren and kept going. But I heard the bloody thing that time.

Yeah this one or the 2013 prelim with about 20 seconds to go.
The Collingwood game I remember most though, as I’m sure the stands were shaking with the noise at one stage - or at least it felt like it, it was so raucous.

Round 14 2009 - St Kilda vs Geelong at Docklands, both undefeated going into the game. Noise inside the stadium was deafening.

In proportion to the crowd figure, probably the St Kilda vs GWS draw in 2018. The atmosphere at the end was electric, so much so that you’d forget there were only about 15k there, it felt like the place was going to fall down. I don’t get to go to many games though as a Melbourne based Port fan, I just lucked into a free ticket which I wasn’t gonna turn down and it was well worth it. Can’t believe this was two and a half years ago, I initially thought it was last year.
2018 QF Collingwood West Coast.
I have been to a few 90000+ MCG games that haven't come close.

I saw Brisbane for Richmond at the dome (can't remember the year) when Bowden goaled close to the siren, was unreal.

For people that were at the game yesterday how did it rate for noise and atmosphere? It sounded insane on tv.

2013 Anzac day game @ the MCG was the loudest I’ve been to.
Which game you referring to? I was at the Cats v Pies game and the atmosphere was electric. Terrific match.
It felt loud at times but it was eerily quiet too. I always think close games where neither side gets decent momentum, well the crowd hold back a bit.
But the last goals from DeGoey, Rohan and Holmes were pretty loud.
Still recon 2009 STK v GEE at Docklands was louder

Been to 2018 GF and a Carlton/Pies game with 80000. But the loudest crowd was 2017 Queens Birthday game. Specifically when Watts kicked the match winner, don't think I've experienced anything like it.
It was amazingly noisy. Didn’t feel biased towards Collingwood either, pussycats fans were just as loud.
Huge emotion throughout the ground and I didn’t notice any BS
Almost impossible to compare. Loudest AFL games i can remember were prelims, Cats Pies 2007, Hawks Pies 2011, Cats Hawks 2013.
Only Grand Final that was defo up there was 2010 draw.
Yesterday comfortably sits among all those

Yeah almost silent at times, but absolutely exploded for pretty much every goal and some good "Coooooolingwooood' chants reverberating.
Oddly I was never concerned about the closeness of the game and that Collingwood would somehow pull it out because they always do. It was almost better for Geelong that they had to play from behind for most of the game and I feel like the crowd would have been very different and a bigger factor for Geelong to overcome had the Cats been in front by a few goals at the start of the fourth and De Goey had banged through those two goals.
One of the loudest that I've been to was the Pre-season Grand Final in 1993. Richmond vs Essendon. Played at VFL Park in front of a crowd of over 75,000. Thousands turned away at the gate and many more turned their cars around on the highway as they weren't going to get in. First "meaningful" game for a decade for Richmond fans. The seats were shaking that night.
