Na, seriously, the club has put a heck of a lot of work into preparing the oval and facilities for the match. We're really looking forward to it and hoping for decent weather, although May generally means rain!

Oval will have had a massive break between matches on it, so it should be in top nick, it's a good sized deck so hoping to see a decent contest.

Good for the local sporting club and I hope you guys get a few out there. Unfortunately there is no novelty draw crowd this year so I wouldn't be expecting a massive crowd except for probably yhe locals wanting to see some football.

I look at comments such as these and on one hand, I get the whole "No AFL in the SANFL" thing but then we wouldn't have an opportunity like we have this weekend to showcase some of the state's best football talent in our back yard.
No other club in the history of the SANFL has ever had the initiative to cater for the regional crowd in this area by playing a match for premiership points in Balaklava.
We're chuffed to have it, even if it isn't a "traditional" SANFL club competing. We've put in so much time and effort into preparing to host it and we're looking forward to holding it on Sunday. Jam your apathy.

On good on you guys. Like I said I hope you get a good turnout. Will be good for your club and the people from around the area to see the game.

Well said there Onsong.

What are you hoping for crowd wise Sunday OnSong? There were 5,000 odd last year at Clare, however Tex was playing so would add a few extra supporters plus Clare is a bigger area. I would think anything over 3,000 would be a great result, however not sure if that's around the mark for what you are aiming for?

FWIW I will definitely make the effort to get to the ground and have a look for sure.
If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

Would've gone up for this, but it clashes with Glenelg so that's where we'll be. Weather is looking about as good as it gets this time of year so certainly that won't turn anyone off. Hope for a good crowd and a Crows win; unfortunately I fear I'll have to be satisfied with a good crowd as I think Port will win this by around 6-7 goals.

Whilst I don't think this particular game benefits/enhances the SANFL "brand" (for lack of a better term) greatly, it would be good to see 1 or 2 country games each year involving genuine SANFL clubs.

Penola rings a bell yeah. One of the season guides that PhilH etc put out a few years back listed all the country venues that have hosted a match. Was an interesting read.

Used to enjoy the trip to Encounter Bay to watch South (usually) get belted.

There have been plenty of SANFL games in the bush before.

With the current look of the Adelaide Reserves due to the Crows injury list many of the players will be "bush" top up players who would have never achieved an SANFL game than by default.
