Look at your bloke that ripped his hamstring.....you could see it on his face that he knew that in all probability that his season is over, probably hasn't worked at his day job outside of football this week, accumulated medical bills and rolled up for training long after the little bubble crow boys have gone home to sit on the couch and watch Home & Away....


Wasn't 21 full time professional athletes but lets not let the truth get in the way of a good story hey


You have misunderstood me I didn't say last weekends game was 21 full time professional athletes but the fact is it can be 21 full timers v 21 part timers which i don't think is fair.

Weather in the morning would have put some waverers off if it was anything like where I was more generally, even we had second thoughts and that's saying something. A later time slot would also have helped, but we know why that was not possible. In spite of all that there was still a year on year crowd increase for the first week of finals, a far cry from a record low that some were predicting-we fell to less than 6k in 2013. I fear my partner and I will be two of very few Crows there at 12:10 on Sunday, but we'll be there regardless. P.S obviously nobody on here talking about quiet Crows supporters were sitting near my partner and I; probably not a bad thing. :)


Are you suggesting that Crows reserves supporters somehow contributed to an increase in the crowd for this years elimination final? For that matter, are you suggesting the Crows reserves are a reason for increasing crowds from 2013?

No idea where you sat, but at the scoreboard there wasn't any support for the reserves. Biggest support group I saw was the flag bearers at the start of the game. That group ably demonstrated the Crows demographic, god bless em.

:lol:

They would be welcomed, but I don't think they expected the response their beloved team copped from the Dogs fans.

For shame, Centrals fans. They're the team for all South Australians. Failure to clap at the designated time means you're not a South Australian, and is tantamount to treason. Severe penalties apply. 10 to 20 years locked up in the West Lakes Shed without a thermos and sandwiches with the crusts cut off.

You'll do what the scoreboard tells you to, or you'll all be sent to bed wearing the yellow away pyjamas, without the number "19" on the back, or the front pocket.
