Don't mind the arvo\night timeslot definatly worth a crack but the date is a joke, no doubt the Crows will have a win and play finals type scenario on the Sunday so the media coverage is going to be next to nothing.
You would also think that the Crows last game will be a sell out based on the situation meaning I struggle to see many people doing the night before as well as the Sunday game

This did actually play out back in 2003, where both AFL sides had home finals in the first week, but if I am remembering correctly the SANFL finals did not start until the week after. This is another problem with bringing the SANFL finals forward, because the issue of two AFL finals in Adelaide is always more likely to happen in week one of the finals than any other week.

My Adelaide Oval Footy and cricket members tickets will be going unused that day.

Rising Power wrote:Will be interesting if Port can't hold top spot and the No AFL crowd stay true to their word by boycotting finals involving the AFL reserves teams. The Power will be playing Fremantle in Perth at the same time, so could just be a few crickets watching the qualifying final.
Edit: my bad, only 1.5 hr difference so a 2:40pm start for the AFL game. Could still affect the crowds though.

Not an issue for my team.....

Plenty of NASCAR coverage though, maybe Danger likes it.
