Its called AFL spin! I have to give it to the AFL.

They can spin shit into a gold necklace!

How can you AFL wankers not understand!

Its more dodgy AFL lies! Its a sellout but 10k-15k less than capacity.

And yes I can see how you guys are using the defintions to try and back up you overly bias opinion.

In the same way 80% of our NRL games this year have been sellout then. Our suburban ...

NRL (Crowd averages after 6 rounds)

Let's see how this will turn out shall we :o :o :o

AFL (2012 number's bolded)

Adelaide - 42,000+ (45,105)
Brisbane - 20,078 (20,072)
Carlton - 41,824 (45,800)

Just imagine if the NRL simulcast all their games on fox as well. It would of been a 1.7-1.8 million viewers.

Giants crowds growing! =D>

10k last year, already averaging 23k in 2013 =D>

GWS ave was 38k after there first game in 2012.... :-k :-k

23k 2012
38k 2013

To any sporting organization this would be Armageddon.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

when you consider the tsunami have been screaming from the ...

And xman when we do expand to perth \ Adelaide of course crowd numbers per round are going to be up!! You'll be the first to bag us when we do talk it up! That's just common sense but here you are celebrating it. Lol

I like how you have used highest crowd number by round and not average. Total crowd numbers are always going to be up you have a extra game!!!!!!!

The AFL opening round split over 2 weeks to get better numbers is about 50th best average crowd. Down from last year ....hmmmm!!

Its quite simple..... The AFL round average was lower than last year! And you AFL fairies have been banging on about how your code is growing!!!

I think some people in this forum should just cop it sweet instead of coming up with excuse after excuse. But, but,but!

Even though it is down from last year?? Doesn't seem that good then.... Shrinking?
