There’s nothing like it. An AFL crowd always has a decent portion of opposition supporters. The Rugby State of Origin is almost 50/50. While I’m certain it wasn’t, BBL felt like it was 100% home crowd.

Yeah, the crowd excitement adds quite a bit of atmosphere to the games.
Maybe that’s also why I enjoy AFL so much.
I also tried to get a nap in today at the last 30 mins of the test match but woke up from it because all the excitement of the wickets falling.
So much for that nap.

I saw a Japan v. Australia World Cup qualifier match at the MCG and I don’t remember even that crowd being so one-sided as a BBL game.
I wonder whether this is something the league can work on? Maybe have better crowd coordination of the “away” supporters sitting together?
