SA Footy

As advised by SANFL this morning

Saturday 4 September
Central District v Glenelg Hamra Homes Oval 2:10pm
Port Magpies v North Adelaide Alberton Oval 2:10pm

Sunday 5 September
Norwood v West Adelaide Coopers Stadium 2:10pm
Eagles v Sturt Woodville Oval 2:10pm

Interesting. It looks like the SANFL thinks the Bays have sewn up the double chance already so they will get an extra one day of rest before finals?

You'd think the ABC will want to broadcast this game - but nonetheless, there should be a huge crowd at the Bay with a chance that plenty of neutrals will get along as well.

It's an the Ponderosa Squawk

I think the ABC would be more likely to broadcast the Port match, what with it being their last ever game and all....

Sorry to disappoint you Squawk and Pseudo, but I think (unless there's a late change of policy) the ABC is committed to a Sunday game in Rd 23.

Dream on bridesmaid, dream on.

This could well be a super Sunday, with both games potentially deciding 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th.

if Norwood finish 3rd whoever they play in their first final will be coming off an extra days break could that be a disadvantage?

Or the Eagles.

Easier to just say that glenelg will have an extra day's break than their opponent in the Qual final.
Advantage? maybe not but i would rather Norwood play on Saturday.

36 Premierships.

Incorrect photo Booney. These are wearing gold and they're missing the sash.

Port Magpies have won 2 premierships, Glenelg have won 4. Port Adelaide have won 1 in the AFL and 34 in the SANFL.. Am I correct?

Gee its seem every Fathers day West Adelaide play

And Justin McConnell isn't playing this year.

Port Adelaide Magpies have won 36 SANFL premierships, Port Adelaide Power have won 34 SANFL premierships and 1 AFL premiership. Both clubs won those 34 SANFL premierships up to the end of 1996.

This is ridiculous programming. Either have all games on the Saturday or given that Port and North won't be in finals, have them on the Saturday and the rest Sunday. This is knowingly giving an advantage to Glenelg (or Central if they finish 2nd).

Rumour is that Centrals requesed a sat night fixture. Interesting that it is not, if the ABC are going to televise the Sunday game as alluded to above. Seems obvious that they would prefer to telecast the game to potentially determine the minor premier. FWIW I can't see us catching Centrals for it though.
