Cats have a higher average attendance than the capacity of their stadium at the moment

And this is the average 🧐

Those MCG games really pull away fans in

Afl cooking the books

I’m more amazed that Richmond have a perfect 50,000. Surely that’s been rounded, if not crazy stat.

49,999.57

3 people off a perfect 50.

The guy who first measured the height of Everest found its summit to be precisely 29,000 feet above sea level. He assumed if people saw that number that they would think it was rounded, so he made it 29,002 instead, even though he knew it was wrong.

People have a fascination with round numbers but its just coincidence

Sauf Straya not doing well :(

31k is pleasantly surprising for how we’re travelling atm tho. I’ll take it

Let’s not forget that the vic teams also get the benefit of playing against other vic teams so more opposition supporters

True, but the image cuts off the bottom few and makes it look worse than it really is.

Just to actually answer the question - no, it also happened in 2010, 2014 and 2015 (average home crowd size). See:

Surprised about 2015. We were both good then

What about brisbane and the Gold Coast

GCS rounded down to zero.

Big 4 is back

All the hand wringing about Melbourne crowds and we're 5th behind the big four

I’ve been saying this all year and nobody listens! 😂 Record high membership numbers and solid home game attendance in the context of the other clubs. We’re doing fine.

Wasn't someone concern trolling about a crowd the other week and it was pointed out that was a record attendance between those two teams? Might have been the brisbane game

There's been whinging about the crowds for the team that's on top

Record numbers on the slopes too

Wonder what the WA teams would average with MCG ticket prices? I know I would have gone to a game or two. Optus is too expensive for me.

Whats general admin cost over there ?

Eagles game against Essendon recently they wanted $68, dockers game on Sunday they want $35 for the same seat/area. Might explain why they only got 35,000 at that game when normally it would almost sell out .....or could just be both teams are performing woefully at the moment!

Look at marvel game prices, very good and only ones I can afford right now

I wonder what our average is not counting the Cairns game

30,006 according to my calculations using

We have had Marvel sell out several times this year, so ours would be higher. Then again, we play better at Marvel, so that's the trade off.

Flagmantle. Even the Freagles know.

I'm ashamed to admit this for my love of footy...

Swans looking elite in this category (I assume there are several dozen clubs below with lower numbers who had to be cropped out here)

You assume? Does that mean there is a chance there is no other clubs?

Good on yas Freo.

Essendon is pretty high considering the shit we are serving

My family are all Essendon members and when I asked why they still go to every game they said "we don't want to miss witnessing the off chance that we actually do well (win) because it doesn't seem to happen much these days"

Both Freo and Eagles were only at half capacity for the first few rounds of the season. Eagles also had a game where the trains had issues so half the fans couldn’t get to the ground.

Weren't capacity restrictions still in place at OS at the start of the season?

Season isn't over

I am not making excuses for my club's average

Fremantle greater attendance than WCE must be a first for a long time

Considering Eagles normally always play Sunday Arvo/Night, 34k on Average given the season they’ve had is good showing.

How many members do these clubs claim to have?

Problem with west coast is that it at its capacity for ticketed members and actually has a huge waiting list of people wanting to be members. Due to this people who are members don't give up their membership if they aren't planning on going for awhile if say the team is doing crap, they just keep it and don't bother turning up for the games so there's empty seats which are actually allocated and paid for

Turns out being a member doesn't mean going to every game. Who knew

Where's the other teams?

Relegated

cropped

Only just, that's not bad considering we pretty much know we're heading to the game to see them get slaughtered.

The Eagles also had the first home Derby this year, so their attendance has been slightly flattered by the Freo faithful.

Serious answer, freo have had more than their fair share of those years, perhaps you could run an internal survey

From the team with the most members as well. Easily the most fickle fan base in the AFL.

The audacity of a Saints fan saying this is hilarious. We average more fans in last spot than you would in first mate.

You're probably not wrong. I guess we're just used to success unfortunately. If only we had the longest gap between premierships of any current AFL team, then maybe we'd be more grateful...

34k is absolutely fine when you consider the time slot West Coast always get.

This is the first thing you thought to contribute?

Considering Richmond has mostly prime time games while Collingwood has been shunned to Sunday’s or Saturday arvos I’m surprised how close it is between Richmond and Collingwood

H&A we have higher attendance.

Not to mention 2 home games at Marvel

Eagles fan here. How much better does Freo have to play to get their fans to turn up?

Its obvious we have less fans that West Coast but not having a huge spike in Membership shows that the vast majority of us are already there. Also stating the obvious that country fans dont attend Sunday games.

nah man... it's because they can't brag about them winning so there is no point showing up.

Yet your team that has been top 4 for most of the season only averages 2k more than us?
