2024 Crowd Watch

[Perth Red]

It's an incentive to get even a few thousand people in early to relive pressure on the rush that starts around an hour before kick off of most games. The AFL Grand Final usually has a curtain raiser, usually between two U18s teams since they scrapped their stand-alone reserves comp after 1999

Also means watching on tv you have something worth watching and not hours of panelists blithering on!

The AFL GF hasn’t had a curtain raiser since 2007.
