M thinking over 15 bu I’m never any good at guessing these things. 3/5 full abouts I’d say. - so it holds max 25000i think

13,100

and looked to be 60 to 40% Favour of Geelong after a good look

I wouldn't say that - I'd say if anything 55 - 45 at best fore Geelong - was pretty even I thought - there were pockets where mainly Geelong fans - those flying in seem to be seated in the one area , maybe packages - -the reserve on the wing - whereas also pockets of Sun's fans. So pretty even.

one side of the ground looked like GMHBA Stadium

yeah - definitely - ground level wing - where most were seated from Geelong - i think if your going to one game a year - for a lot maybe - they book reserved seating - whereas most members are general admission - usually not the better seats- behind the goals where the cheer squad is - or they are on the opposite wing where the more diehard members part is (near coaches boxes) which is camera side.

that is true, a supporter for 1 game a year will get the best seats usually.. (which are generally in camera view)

ohh well it is nothing different really over the years.

Geelong
Richmond
Collingwood
Carlton

are known to have big presence at away games IN QLD

Adelaide also pretty well attended usually. AFL usually schedule the bigger games during vic school holidays to maximise attendance.

Pies V Brisbane this week - Thursday night - I will be there and suspect a big crowd will turn up. Pies vulnerable - short break - no ruck - Lion's off a loss.

Be close to a sell out easy..

AFL sell out is rarely a full house
Usually multiple 1000s below full
NRL sell out less than 500 below capacity .

prob be 15k collingwood supporters there. it will go big

Yeah probably - Past year was a hugh Brisbane crowd - vocal too.

Massive crowd at the Gabba. Lots of pies supporters but I’d say Lion”s fans much more vocal (annoyingly so). Probably more Lion”s supporters I’d say but fairly even.

wow
the gabba woulda looked like Flinders St will all those mongbournians ( present & former ) there making up 90% of the cwowd eh
