    Either way it is a team that is difficult to predict given the youth and the coaches will be picking apart how they can nullify the youth of the swans and over awe them

    Just pumped cats are playing the Hawks !!!!
    I prefer it that way too.

        Sorry, I'd tuned out for a moment there ANZ crowds by game type you say, just a second:

        anzCrowd.png

        Note: different y-axis scales.
        Two of our games there were classed as "away", versus GWS. Of the rest: there was that terrific crowd of 57 156 against the Pies in 2012, but no final since then has cracked 50 000.

        The home games chart is interesting because you can see the business case for leaving right there. Really dropped away over the last 3 years, consistently within SCG capacity.

          new contract didn't appear to love the stadium as much as Baz does. So with the last AFL game about to be played there, it's likely this is a very emotional time for Baz.
          Though I must admit I do know a number of Eastern Subs & Inner West dwelling Swans members who start feeling a little woozy and light headed once they get past about Concord.
          I live close enough that the next stop is Olympic Park.
          I STILL hate it.
          No where is a good place to sit and watch the footy.
          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
          Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

            Unfortunately, (well, fortunately for me), I have an uncancellable appointment with the beautician for Saturday morning and will miss the ressies final.
            See.
            No footy.
            I'm concerned about my momentum going into the finals.

                As always NeilFWS, you always have some interesting stats to post - thanks!

                I'd love to know the breakdown of those crowds between members/general public/anz members etc - as discussed earlier in the thread, as I think that may very well show an even stronger trend then that within the aggregate crowd data.

                  Say hello to Tom Derickx for me. You can even give him a kiss.

                    Sure would be interesting. I guess that's "secret corporate knowledge." Anyone know any AFL, stadium or club business analysts, maybe we can get them to leak the data

                        Don't they have a beautician out at the ground. It's on the lower concourse area next between the Wellness Centre and the tapas bar.

                          You are thinking of the Tennis.

                            Hi All, I am a bit new to the Membership system. I am a Vic Family Swans member and I go into Priority two ballot for any Grand Finals tickets sold(if we make it).
                            I was told that there are 7 categories but category 6 and 7 tickets are hardly worth it as you are placed into the very top row out the back. Has anyone had experience in this area?

                              No experience in standing room (I think category 7), but I have walked past the people standing there. (Behind the goal posts 2015, 2016.)
                              You get an obstructed view and you must stand the whole time. There are two rows of standing people.
                              Upside is that it's probably easier to get to and from the bar.
                              Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                                People stand for a few hours at concerts.
                                Just need to embrace Sweet Caroline and you'll be fine.
