From my observation boundary riding for Triple MMM and looking around when on the oval at breaks
Northern Mound almost full ................................................................. 6000 out of 6500
Eastern Stand 1st level full, 2nd level 80%, top tier 90% .............. 17,500 out of 19,000
Western Stand 1st level full, 2nd level full, top tier 75% .............. 11,500 out of 14,000
Riverbank Stand - lower level full, 2nd level 90%, top tier empty .. 5,000 out of 14,000
TOTAL ........................................................................................... 40,000 .out of 53,500
Ie I think the figure was pretty much spot on.

Did you get on Sturt leading into 2016 when they were paying 250/1 to win the flag and had worse odds than North?
Lol no mate, did you?

What a bloody arm wrestle that was! We won every quarter except the final, when Port suddenly clicked. There was no real moment that indicated we had it won until the final siren went. Probably Riley's goal just before 3 Q time, to put the only major in the board for the quarter after Port had most of the play, may have been a sign that we were going to win it. Jarrod Lienert's fantastic goal before the 3 Q siren in 2016 was a similar such moment.
We were on the hill, so my view of the play at about the 25th minute Final Q may not have been too clear, but the Port lads were struggling for possession on about their forward 50 line, and play was moving sideways from east to west when suddenly, somebody in black and white got clean hands on the leather, and had sufficient time to put the ball to boot. For me it looked as though he'd steadied enough to put the ball through the goals from that position, he was pretty much in front, and probably within 50 at that point. Then some double blue guernsey materialised out of thin air and prevented that ball from being anything but still disputed.
That smother summed up Sturt's performance yesterday. We stood up and absorbed every last ounce of courage, strength, skill, sweat and tears that Port had to throw at us and we walked off victors. The surge of excitement I felt was like nothing I have experienced in sport, ever. I went into yesterday's Grand Final feeling like I wanted it more than 2016. 2016 was my first flag. I was 3 in 74, 5 in 76. In Japan in 2002, so 2016 was my first, but all it did was whet the appetite for more. I was damn hungry for that flag yesterday, my observations tell me the feeling around the club was the same. Had a few frothies at the Strath after the game, where every 5 minutes "A Grand Old Flag" would erupt amongst Blues in some part of the Hotel or another.
Great feeling, great to be Sturt, love the desperation that brought to the game, loved the atmosphere and the absolute chaos that broke out on the hill when the siren went.
GO YOU BLUES!!!
Roll on 2018...

You'd think himself and White playing their last game would want to win a premiership.
Throw Lobbe in there as well.
All 3 were shite!
No heart, no passion, didn't care....... p*ss them off now!
Off the mark with Lobbe there mate, he was one of the few who could hold his head up. He had a crack yesterday, Osborn has a habit of being good in big matches and Lobbe had the better of that contest.

When Eddy shows the same commitment to the match day cause as Summerton then you can come back and talk sense, until then your delicious irony is misplaced.
EDIT
PS - I've not told Eddy to "suck it" or referred to him as "scum"*

As a manager I expect more from my senior and better paid staff.
That's why I pay them more....... to deliver when it counts.
