Each club’s average attendance so far in 2017

We're just 10 rounds in to the 2017 season, but fans are already setting attendance records across the country.

The opening round of the season saw 400,401 roll through the gates, which is a round record, smashing the previous mark of 371,212 in round 15, 2013.

This season's average attendance through 10 rounds is an impressive 35,041, which would be the best figure since the 2011 season if supporters can keep it up.

The Bombers deserve the biggest thanks for the league average, with their attendance of 53,991 per game the best across the competition.

Marquee match-ups against Hawthorn, Carlton, Collingwood (ANZAC Day) and Richmond (Dreamtime at the 'G) all helped the Bombers achieve the figure, with their fans seemingly excited to see the 'banned Bombers' back from suspension.

Richmond is the only other side to average over 50,000, with their big drawcard fixtures coming against Essendon, Melbourne (ANZAC Day Eve), Collingwood and Carlton.

At the other end of the scale, the Suns and Giants are the only two sides to average below 20,000, with Gold Coast propping up the league with a 13,041 average.
