Hardly any Crows fans at the game - can only assume Wedgie and his mates have scared them off for the season. But then I would no more travel all over Adelaide to see Sturt Reserves play unless I had a direct connection to the club or a player.
Due to the lack of Crows noise they got ignored by the umps. Just 3 frees paid to the Crows up to 3/4 time. No crowd noise screaming for "Holding the ball" or "Holding the man" etc means that many Crows frees that were there were simply waved as play on by the umps.
Due to the youth of many of the Crows players they were consistently out muscled or out marked in many one on one contests against Sturt today. Yes they won the last quarter but by then the atmosphere of the game resembled a club internal trial between Blue and White with a smattering of polite applause whenever White kicked a goal.
Can't see Crows Reserves finishing in the top 8.
So how many people were there. We were promised a financial bonanza of an 4,000 Adelaide fans at their games . How many turned up today?
