Week 1, 2015 AFL Finals Series

[bennymacca]

The deal is 10 finals every 5 years, that arent the grand final which is obviously locked in there.

So they only need an average of 2.

They will get 1-3 easily depending on results this year, so the dogs really should be able to host their final at etihad

Perhaps they haven't met their quota from previous years??

19 finals from 2011-2014 by my count. Not including gf obv.

Would be highly embarrassing if there was under the 53k.

9 over the past two seasons keeps them well above the ratio too. I'm miffed then, they've been burnt considering Geelong have had finals at Kardinia.

Yep. And Geelong freo would have got a way bigger crowd than this game, even if no freo supporters showed up and 15k crows supporters do

I'm not too sure on that one, a few closet Dog supporters will be out in force and the crows will be well represented.

I reckon it's a given - despite the fact some parts of the media were predicting 30k crows supporters making the trip to Melbourne

[bennymacca]

What do we reckon the crowd will be?

Will they get 60k?

If they get 60 it's only 7k that miss out at Etihad.

Surely 65-70 is too many for a Bulldogs crows final?

[Booney]

I'd be surprised at anything over 55,000.

30? Wow, no way in hell. 15-20 is very possible though.

[Booney]

Bulldogs have 31,000 members.

I wouldn't be surprised with 30, my facebook newsfeed suggests that plenty of people I know are heading over.

I doubt t will be that many. I also doubt that it wi be more than 55k as well but I may well end up being wrong. Still the game should be a Etihad.

[bennymacca]

Tim Watson reckons the afl is looking to buy Etihad stadium early, and is driving the price down by not having finals.

Interesting theory

What the AFL using its fixture for financial gain?

While i reckon most of the head honchos extremely lack a feel for the game there is no way you can criticise their financial/business nous.

If they get 60 it's only 7k that miss out at Etihad.

Jarman reckons 70+

F**kwit.

I'd suggest low to mid 50's

He also says the Bulldogs should stop sooking. F**king Hypocrite last week last week he squealed like a virgin being broken in by John Holmes about the kangeroos resting blokes so the crows wouldn't get a final.

1 home final in a hundred years, the rest 70kms away usually in the oppositions home city as opposed to 5kms away against an interstate side, yeah they've been burnt.....

Looks like terrible weather in Perth Friday Night. Dammit. Suits Hawks

As I understand things
Th WB V AC game has been transferred to the MCG to maximise crowd attendance ?

This being the case the question must be asked
If AC were playing CO this weekend at Adelaide Oval, would they transfer it to the MCG were perhaps 75000+ would attend ?

Western Bulldogs have been disadvantaged
