Good time for a scandal actually

[Cats_Steve]

There's always gunna be a few in the MCC members, but plenty of fans couldn't get tix and there's only 95?

Vicbots or ecstatic fans immersed in their code? I can try and explain what atmosphere is if you like.

Plenty watching at home aswell.

AFL attendances during 2018 Preliminary Final Weekend totalled 154,567 at the MCG and Optus Stadium. This figure was up 4.38% on the 2017 weekend at the MCG and Adelaide Oval. All up Finals crowds for the AFL now total 600,371 at an average of 75,046, up 32.3% on 2017.

To be fair, much of the AFL Finals attendance uplift can be attributed to GWS not playing a home final at Spotless Stadium, and more MCG finals.

The SANFL had its best Grand Final attendance since 1998 as 40,355 people turned up at Adelaide Oval. In the West, 25,064 attended the WAFL Grand Final at Optus Stadium. In Melbourne, the VFL was attended by 12,884 at Docklands.

NRL attendances during the 2018 Prelim Weekend totaled 71,001 at an average of 35,501 across Aami Park and Allianz Stadium. This figure is up 24.7% on the same finals last year, and played at the same venues. NRL Finals crowds total 244,758 at an average of 30,595, up 15.34%

NRL increases mostly attributable to a week 1 final at Suncorp and last nights massive crowd at Allianz Stadium.

Great numbers all round.
Is there season totals available?

What a thrashing!
A real head count, not some extrapolated imaginary figure from a tiny sample.

quite amazing the luck that you have 6 games with S#&^ conditions...

160mm of rained fell on robina before and during game.

But but but rain! An excuse is some how acceptable for you lot, yet not an afl fan!

It’s on the back end of summer you know and a winter in Melbourne is far worse than SE Qld or Sydney

[ParraEelsNRL]

It's not winter for one, it's the beginning of Autumn, and two, plenty of games played at grounds without cover or cover over two stands only, and three, you're an idiot.
