Are Victorian AFL fans soft???

[Dirko]

I'd also like to know Collingwood's average attendance when playing a non victorian team in Melb.

These are the average HOME game attendances ONLY.

Collingwood 61,916
Carlton 51,540
Essendon 48,126
Richmond 45,510
Hawthorn 41,980
Adelaide 41,452
St Kilda 38,964
West Coast 37,984
Fremantle 35,428
Sydney Swans 33,903
Western Bulldogs 31,353
Melbourne 31,117
North Melbourne 30,025
Geelong 29,540
Brisbane Lions 27,529
Port Adelaide 24,409

FYI Collingwood v Fre = 45383, v WCE = 52968 & v ADL = 52592

Thanks SJABC - I had a feeling my WCE crowd figure was wrong.

[Dutchy]

again those figures include the Roos 2 GC games

[Dirko]

Who did you play at the GC ? West Coast & Brisbane ?

The Doggies only got 11k up in Darwin.

How seriously can you use those figures because Because more than 1 in 2 games in melbourne are two victorian teams and that pushes the figures up

WC & Saints

yeah collingwood have to only play 4 interstate teams in melb this year out of 18 games in melb. freo, westcoast, sydney and Crows. 4 teams that all have good traveling crowds. . but what are the averages of western bulldogs, north melbourne and melbournes crowds Vs interstate teams.

Robert walls has been going on about crowds at port games all year on ON THE COUCH. he better go on about the demons and Roos game tommorow night bacause Both those clubs need the gate takings more than port do.

[Rotter]

21,330 today at the MCG. Two Victorian teams on a Sunday Afternoon at the "home" of the AFL.

You're grasping at straws ace

......... Ace???

Thought you'd like that

I really don't think we can question Victorian supporters' ability to turn up to sporting events, no matter how rubbery the attendance figures are.

The AFL go one about attendance figures but I really don't think they're all that worried about it. If they were, they would have changed the Geelong v Bulldogs game from the Cattery. The AFL want people watching on TV. That's more important to them, otherwise why wouldn't they have built a stadium that seats more than 50,000 at Docklands after bulldozing Waverly?

Sunday games always have lower attendances than other games. If the North v Dees match was played on Friday night they would have got a lot more than 21,000 to the game.

It was great to see my club pull in 86,000 on Friday night (with a bit of help from the Cats of course) ... although how you get 86,000 from a "sellout" in a stadium that holds 90,000 plus is a bit of a mystery to me, but there you go.

[devilsadvocate]

A North Melbourne fan ripped into Adelaide crowds, yet nobody turned up to watch his mob today

Really? Who?

I don't believe it....surely not?

lets answer this question -

4 games between 8 Victorian clubs this weekend and an average of 52,000 attended the 4 games....Simple answer for anyone with the IQ over 20

A resounding No....

We are not talking average crowds for the round.FFS,1 V 3 and Essendon V Collingwood doesnt happen every week to help you try and deflect attention from a disgraceful effort by Roos and Dees fans.

Really,Port V Freo (13 V 14) at lunch time on Sunday in Adelaide getting 19,000 stacks up well against the Roos V Dees numbers.

Yes because taking the average like that definitly tells the real story

Yes I was being a little sarcastic there.

[Dutchy]

Hang on read the question that was asked...

and I never mentioned that the Roos/Melbourne crowd wasnt dissappointing, but it wasnt a Roos home game so Im not worried TBH, still got more than the Power....

[hearts on fire]

still got more than the Power....

what a great achievement, getting a bigger crowd than the Power, geeze, don't see that too often........

[Baron Greenback]

I wouldn't go watch North Melbourne play Melbourne if it was free....and at the local oval.....which was right next door....and they had free strippers....hang on.....i'd go for the strippers.

[Ron Burgundy]

i paid to see North Melbourne play once this year, it was the draw at Telstra DOOM. it was the worst game of footy i have seen for a looong time. Suffice to say i wont be rushing to see them play again in a hurry.

im with you CN but only to watch the strippers.

I went to the Ess v Coll game at the MCG on the weekend, the passion those two groups of supporters have against each other is absolutely amazing. Essendon supporters outnumbered Collingwood supporters about 6-1. Amazing atmosphere.
