SA Footy

Yep good assessment mate

Bloods win by 21 points to make it 3 wins in the past 4 games.


Any chance there can be 30 rounds in this season

23 scoring shots each, 16 more inside 50's, 50+ point loss
Bad kicking is bad footy as they say.

What a win unbelievable performance against the 21 professionals
never thought we could do it happy to be wrong.

Allegedly the Crows have made an official complaint about Wests cheer squad banging on the fence!

Good win by the bloods but the Crows gave up and didn't care.
No atmosphere at all at the game.
Well done to the 600 odd that turned up.

They ran out of super dry as well, how does that happen with only 600 people there?

I'm interested to hear the final attendance though.

It did get a bit annoying after the 50th time they did it and with no one there it was very obvious and loud.
But to complain about it is just plain stupid.

I find Crows supporters constant boos annoying, I might put in an official complaint.

The 2 Crows supporters there were well behaved.
The old dude fell asleep and the old lady read her woman's weekly from cover to cover for most of the game.
Didn't hear boo from them.

Look out North here come Westies!

Andrew Marks has posted something about it on Facebook. How pathetic.

South Adelaide is its own worst enemy.

Would have had the bulk of the play from halfway through the second term. Spent 5 minutes with the ball locked up in their attacking half of the ground, would add 0.4 or 0.5 in this period, for the Bays to get control for 30 seconds and waltz down the ground for a lazy goal. Probably didn't help that South had a few players off early, but still.

The final score does not reflect the contest, except insofar as it registers that the teams' goals/behinds ratio were approximately the inverse of each other.

South's #10, one Abe Davis, was close to BOG for the Bays. Had a very dirty day at the office.

From part of the match report for the Sunday Mail


Adelaide Crows allegedly ask six West Adelaide fans to stop banging the fence during Bloods’ victory

WEST Adelaide fans had plenty to cheer about at Richmond Oval on Saturday, but clearly not everyone was happy.

Adelaide Crows officials allegedly asked a group of six fans in the West cheer squad to stop banging on the ground’s signs after goals during the Bloods stirring come-from-behind victory.

A West Adelaide official told the Sunday Mail the club was approached by a security guard in the first quarter following the complaint.

“We refused to tell our passionate fans to stop supporting their team and Adelaide then told us they would be making an official complaint to the league,” he said.

On the field, the Bloods turned a 25-point deficit in the third quarter into a 21-point victory in an inspiring performance, kicking the last eight goals of the contest. ................................

Yep they are annoying banging that fence, but to those who want to whinge about it I say harden the f**k up or piss off. One thing I've said over the years is that no matter how well or poorly West are going those blokes are there every time I go to Richmond. The comp is better for having passionate supporters, something the Camry Cows would know very little about. I reckon there's more shenanigans going on behind that fence than in front of it.

Couldn't have said it better myself stampy!

The alleged naughty Westies supporters banging their fence deserve their own page thread surely.

If that's how we beat them every team needs to follow suit

I'm sure if the 4000 promised Crows supporters wanted to bang the fence after a goal then west officials wouldn't have minded...
