    Nah I dont believe so. Build up and opponent plays a big part. Plus the finals pricing for the prelim is steep.

    I'd say the attendances would be something like:

    - north = 55-60k
    - west coast = 60-65k
    - pies = 70-75k

    Pies have the best travelling support probably out of all the clubs and alot of the reason why we had 55k plus in many of the ANZ encounters with them is because of their fans. If they made it there'd be 10-15,000 coming up.

    Yep probably closer to the mark.

    The embarrassment against north (admittedly not a prelim) last time we played them in a final at homebush will have the afl barracking for the eagles/pies.

    I'm tipping that we will play WCE in the PF.

    Agreed - pricing is not for the faint of heart, wanna be part of it crowd, or those of a frivilous disposition.

    I reckon the pricing will impact bigtime. Maybe less so against the Pies, but it will impact somewhat even against them.

    I could easily find 4 or 5 friends who would come at $50 a ticket. No chance at $100 a seat. They are just not that into it... shame.

    Raining in lead up and on night
    Playing north
    At homebush
    Tickets $100 a pop
    Crowd=???

    Yep I agree with you GS, Pies are looking very shaky to me.

    I'm hoping we play WC. If for whatever reason we can't manage to get up, I would much rather lose to them than the bloody pies.

    And the possibility of another all Victorian Grand Final is nauseating.
