Just an early observation tho - The Kilburn game we didn't expect a crowd. but our games against Pembroke and Plympton would normally have had good supporter numbers come with the opposition yet the crowd was quite sparse. Interesting. If it is a trend that continues, clubs may have to think about how to counter the Adelaide Oval factor on Saturday arvos.

Although we have played two college sides who traditionally bring about 5 people to our side of town.

Always been a choice between local footy and the AFL. Maybe at the moment there is a bigger impact due to the larger crowds at AO compared with Footy Park.

Four if you count the away showdown against port.
Port have 5 by the looks, though one of them was the home twilight showdown, and there is one more Saturday 4.10 game.
So Crows have 2 genuine saturday afternoon games, and the Power 3.
