The ALW still get pretty poor crowds to their finals along with most of their H&A matches (some are only in the hundreds) so the Matilda's effect is minimal.

The Newcastle Jets also got 6K for its semi final as well, which was more than the mens side got in its H+A fixture on the same weekend
There has been a boost.

He's getting under your skin don't let him.
Not really I think he is a joke and I like to call out his BS lies and he has conned the parochial anti Melbourne Sydney media into being a hero but he is just another typical Sydney low class bogan carpet bagger!

It's not just PVL a lot of people believe RL is the most watched sport in Australia.

The new 2 expansion clubs are down the bottom.
Really is the textbook version of how not to do an expansion. Compare that to the NBL, who can't stop saying that the JJ are the most successful expansion club ever in Australian Sports history.

They exist literally because Fox Sports had a clause in the old broadcast agreement that they would pay more money if there was a third team in Melbourne and Sydney. That's it. That's the reason. It's not as if the A-League other than that thought that they were the best possible expansion temas.
Average A League crowds of only 8102 in 2024 is a disgrace for the supposed greatest most supported football code in the universe = but not in Australia where soccer is struggling badly (Apart from the Matilda's) and is back to the bad old days of the National Soccer League.
The game in Australia has gone backwards over the last ten years at a rapid rate and I don't see it improving any time soon.
The NRL had only 8000 at Accor Stadium (10% of the capacity of 82,000) for two Sydney teams last night surely that would have to be a massive loss all around esp as there would have been a lot of South Sydney members in attendance in that crowd?

Laughable when you consider that Penrith have won multiple premierships lately and South Sydney are possibly the biggest club in Sydney.
Imagine Collingwood playing Geelong and getting 8,000

A fairer comparison in terms of a Thursday game that doesn't have huge interest when other things are going on in the city is the Dogs vs. Saints game, which bottomed out at 27k, which is more or less the floor for a Melbourne vs. Melbourne crowd.
North have gotten more in their worst timeslots against non-factor opposition, like vs. GWS.

forecast was for torrential rain, and it was wet all day.

A slice of fried gold
There have been only 8 instances since 2000 where an all Melbourne clash at the MCG or Docklands has drawn less than 20k.
They are all combinations of North, St Kilda, Bulldogs and Melbourne. The lowest is 13k in the covid hangover of early 2022 with the next worst 16k.
I was in Parramatta yesterday - the “torrential rain” is really only forecast for the weekend. Yesterday the weather was, for the most part, nice and warmish, there were just a couple of very brief light showers and a bit of barely there drizzle earlier. There was no rain at all in the lead up to the game - in Melbourne, it would’ve been described as a “balmy night, perfect for football”

But NRL is the most watched sport in Australia.
Because the Sydney dominated MSM tells them so!

That crowd, for a derby and a final, is just so so so bad.
The ALW GF of only 7,671 at AAMI Park is just pathetic and proves once again the the Matilda's success has not had a positive bearing on local ALW crowds that overall remain very low.
The only Women's Football comp in Australia to get half decent crowds is still the AFLW.
