At the Suns game - told they’re expecting 12000. Looks about at least that - but I can have my usual standing spot without any issue so tells me not a big crowd.

So over 13000 - on a cold and sometimes rainy day (I was freezing - did have a jumper but should havce put a t-shirt underneath) - although a touch of sun came out later in day - which funnily enough Gerald Wheatley commented on in the broadcast on SEN - was late in the game as was directly in my eyes. Not too shabby in a NRL dominated state - and it was Melbourne who traditionally don't travel or pull a crowd lol (particularly in Juner when the snow is falling).

75000 at Carlton v Pies - whilst a decent sized crowd - a bit dissapointing - Carlton home game doesn’t help given how they are going - first crowd between the two since covid below 80000.

NRL were able to achieve in a single round over 20k average in a ORIGIN effected round (close to the first time ever)
