SA Footy

I could rant about the eagles insipid performance but I'll change the topic. Lets face it - the days of SANFL crowds getting 35,000+ have long gone. Yes the eagles have a small supporter base but the amount of centrals supporters showing up to each GF each year has also diminished.

I would like nothing better to see 40,000 at the SANFL grand final and I will go regardless of my team in or not. But in previous years I have been appalled at the Grand final entertainment. Who has suggestions of what we can do? Here are some potential ones after thinking about this for all of 1 minute

1. Include a live local band or as good as we can get play at half time

2. Include a SANFL player 100m sprint at Half time and maybe also a relay

3. Have a supporter competition goal kicking competition.

4. Have a Crows/Power mini coaching clinic where those players where their SANFL guenseys and will only allow kids in SANFL guenseys on to participate

I am not sure what we could do before the game but there must be someone with suggestions. As it currently stands, the entertainment is woeful.

I know you have tried to steer away from this mr fuller, but I reckon the game itself has been a killer for the crowds.

Off-field entertainment has always been crap, need to get a high standard of footy to get the crowds in, IMHO.

Look, I think that the songs The Final Countdown and Simply The Best havvveee to be played. They're a must.

I also reckon large numbers of people bootscootin would also be brilliant. And I think they should be handing out small, cushy footballs to the crowd.

That's pre-match entertainment gold in my eyes.

that was hil-hairy-ass when they handed out all those mini footballs and then the dudes going round in the cars for the parade copped em back! peed myself laughing that day!

I can tell you the half time entertainment this year is between 400 and 500 Auskick kids walking around the Oval, already got the invite and free tix!

Are the kids bootscootin around the oval?

BTW - I still have a couple of those cushy footballs from the 2000 GF.

Jacqui Love always does it for me

Bring back Jubilee Wombat - the star of the 1986 GF half time entertainment.

So....20 years on, what would the Wombats name be?

dig up Ricky May...

i go to watch the footy not all the garbage before hand,

lets have strippers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! & everyone to get a lap dance before the game & maybe mt could send his stable from hanson road to the game to help with the lap dancing !!!!!!!!!!!!

How bout the Eagles play some decent footy during finals and we will work our way form there

Have Tim Evans & Craig Balme reenact their tango to the tune of Advance Australia Fair.

Let some balloons out, play the anthem then get the #$%^ off the pitch and start the football.

I agree. I've never seen the point in anything else other than the game. Just get on with it.

I agree Hawk..... Who needs 1/2 time entertainment...! Lets all just do a mexican wave until the teams come back out...!

I think bring back Helen Demenko, or some sort of wardrobe malfunction.
