If that had been any other club winning like EF did yesterday, pretty sure a certain SF supporter, wouldnt  simply be calling Mandurah weak, it would  be all about how well that GF winning team (except EF) played.

We get it...EF are about as popular as the Peanut coaching Aust Cricket team or anyone who lives in Prictoria in some folks mind set ...it's quite amusing to see.....but totally understandable.

Kudos to all those opposition fans for acknowledging how well EF executed their game plan, in order to make Mandurah look as weak as they apparently were.

They reckon 27000, Someones having a serious lend I would say, as Southern
said looked like about half that at bounce down 

That's probably across the entire day Baz where some would have left after the ressies and colts.

Interesting Bazza and hope you enjoyed the AC celebrations.

I will assume you weren't in attendance at Optus so not in a good position to make an estimation of the crowd.

What motivation for the WAFC to fudge the figure? 

7 sides (including the Dockers) represented in the 3 games as well.

South in the league would have been interesting and certainly would have pushed both the crowd figure and the blue and whites. The Dockers and Peel seemed to have very little support there.
 

Good to see a couple of die hard SF salties keeping all n sundry in check reality wise, with what went down on GF day. Hopefully the AB celebrations went well.

Yes mate, quite a few making the same observation on other sites, Subi v SF was 29K , no way was last weekends crowds 2k less than during the GF.

Yep massive crowd down there, great day in good conditions, actually saw one family walking around in EFFC baseball caps,,,while the GF was on...

One family of 4 Bazza?....or no doubt  400?  Either way, obviously they knew EF were going to win and decided  mixing with a few salty SF fans would be more fun. Glad to hear AB had a good showing....wasn't AB a SF fan?

Congrats to EF, (hate saying that) but their pressure for the whole game was elite and too good. Thought it would be broken at some point but it wasn't and they weren't the ones who broke.

I was actually at the game so feel as though I can comment with some accuracy and not from 25 kms away. (I went to the Australia II exhibition during the week, was excellent actually).

Was surprised of the 27,000 when it came up on the scoreboard but I know many people left after the ressies / colts games as a bit of a protest to the league fixture or they just didn't care too much. Atmosphere was pretty good, more PEEL supporters than some are suggesting, noise levels after goals was pretty equal but EF had the edge there for sure. 

Noticed no banner from EF when they came out - means nothing but I would have thought a GF means something?

Had a look through the EF side after the game and where they came from. Think there were 14 locals and 8 from other WAFL clubs / interstate. Have done well to assemble a premiership team within 3 years with Bill. A WAFL club had 3 players from it winning a medal in different colours. Interesting how this club can't make them good but other clubs can.

Anyway, season is done - now I get all bitter, twisted and have withdrawl symptoms until 2024.

I wonder what penalties EFFC will receive in 2024 from their 2022 breach? 

I hardly saw any peel supporters bar a pocket of them on the replay I watched the next day on tv
Was expecting alot more dockers jumpers in the crowd as well which were missing as well
As for the noise levels after a goal dogman - are you serious - the sharks roar was comprehesively louder than the very poorly attended peel supporters
