It's looking like it'll be fairly successful, so Id say they're gonna stick to it
It'll surely go on the road to the highest bidder each year, and eventually, I think we'll see it overseas

Ground like Optus and AO might be hard as the AFL have at least 1 game every week at those don't they?

Our season starts before the AFL, so we would have to do it in round 1.

Good to hear. I thought they were having a Worst Haircut comp when Fafita conceded he couldn't win.

It is not really a theory as that is how they have done the averages in the past.

Come the end of the home and away season there will have been 192 premiership games played. Just as their has been since 2007. The only figure that will matter is the total crowds. Averages do not factor in on how they do total crowd figures for a weekend. If they did, for this Magic Round potentially the round could have a total attendance of 400,000 which would totally distort the season figures and be a flat out lie. I imagine this rounds attendance figure will be the total of the crowds that attend each day. At a guess I would say around the 130,000 mark.

To use 2012 as the example here, there was a double header at Suncorp on the Friday night. The crowd was around the 41,000 mark. Whilst both games were shown with that crowd figure the round total attendance figure did not support the inclusion of this. The total attendance that round was approximately 110,000

Exactly.

You don't count the DH crowd toward the aggregate twice. The aggregate is exactly that - the aggregated number of people who attended in that round. This round, that will consist of four crowd figures.

What it comes down to is how they want to average it, which is where the sticking point came last year, as they didn't use a consistent method.

Personally I think the average figure should be round aggregate divided by games played, but I can see this weekend we may end up with it being divided by four instead, averaging the "events" rather than the "matches".

Looks like we'll be getting per-game crowd figures which is very unusual and will end up counting lots of attendees twice :thinking:

They just announced 35,122 on FOX League, and they said there will be a another crowd figure later tonight.
