There's no way West v Eagles should have been on Anzac Day, what an embarrassment on one of our big days.
So who should?
North???
Any team that can pull at least 8k, ie not the Crows, South, Eagles or West.
North and Norwood had 10k in their last Anzac Day at Adelaide Oval and that had TV coverage!

However I doubt many teams would pull 8k.
None of the finals last year made 10k.
Only the GF.
Central, Port and Norwood were all there.......
North weren't
The Adelaide Oval hill 2 years ago on Anzac Day:

As for the crowd , who cares how many were there. The ANZAC day game is a reward for the 2 previous years Grand Finalists. Our game needs tradition. If you want your team on the main stage get into the GF. Simple.

Back to the Westies of old pretty quickly then, only want someone to share the misery with.

I was going to include Port but they are already piss weak

The only hope for a re birth there would be a Norwood V Port Adelaide (while they stay in the comp) regular feature.
But I reckon clubs partisan support would not allow this obvious change,plus Norwood would not likely give up a home game.
I am not a member of either club just a suggestion that would pull a decent crowd every year.

Agreed I have no issue with the GF combatants playing the ANZAC Day game, they earned the right to play that day. Suburban Ovals have to be the way to go in future though.
