Record crowd likely

[floppinab]

not going......... sniff sniff got the babysitting duties again this week........ bloody wife.

Will also be interesting to see who bobs up in the Press Box....which of the Melbourne heavies come up for it.

I'm guessing Damian Barrett and maybe even Mike. Maybe even the born again himself in Rohan.

It will by shown by Channel 10, so think in line of the following chaps:

Stephen Quatermain

Anthony Hudson

Robert Walls

Tim Lane

Stephen Silvagni

Peter Daicos

Michael Christian

Oh, man!

That just can't be!

Surely there's someone to fill in??

The foot needs to come down my friend!

(Having said that I understand the "delicacy" of some of these situations)

I can't imagine Quarters willingly missing this one!!

Press box as distinct to commentary box

[Helen]

I'm going early Friday morning because I want to go to see my rugby league team the Storm play the Dragons Friday night, then of course Sat. off to the the Pies game.

They may beat the Essendon attendance at SA last year...60,000 would be good, more even better! If they beat the Essendon game it will be the biggest AFL crowd outside Vic, but it won't be the biggest australian rules football crowd outside Vic. The Sturt-Port Adelaide GF of 1976 pulled in 66,897 at Footy Park... and the 65 GF between the same 2 teams pulled in 62,543.
And, if I recall correctly, the gates were broken down in the 76 final and loads of non-paying supporters got in on top of the paying crowd...

You never know, it could be the largest Aussie Rules crowd

Hardly - the record would be something like 110-120k at the G decades ago.

Sorry I meant outside Victoria.

121,696 (wobbles v carlton) 1970

It seems to be almost a laydown misere that this will be the case. The current record is held by the Swans-Bombers game last year at around 54,000. Unless the weather is a complete shocker on Saturday night it has to exceed that.

Would this be the biggest ever crowd for a Swans home and away game?? Charlie??

[BAM_BAM]

can you imagine the kick to kick if we have it. It's kamikaze like trying to walk from one side to the other as it is. Let alone have a kick. with that many people in the middle. Am I a bad aunt if I accidentally on purpose leave the ball at home??
