Carn Sturt

This game worries me to be honest JTC. Adelaide are possibly the most up and down side in the league. Earlier this season we were questioning if anyone would be able to beat them at all. Since then they've lost to South, Sturt, and twice to Central. Admittedly they're all fellow top 5 sides, but the gap between unbeatable and losing 4 times in about 8 weeks is pretty confusing. Sturt on the other hand are just managing to win each week. With the Eagles literally creaming every side that takes the field, snapping at our heels, we're going to need to dig deep to hang on to top spot. Looking very precarious IMO.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

Sturt get the gate/catering etc I believe. It's a punt to see if giving the Ravens a 'home' game will entice more than 200 of their supporters along. But at the same time running the risk of p*ssing off some of the Sturt faithful.

Not that I've listened to it, but the Sturt head-honcho is on the sanfl site talking about the decision.

Could it also be the Ravens testing the waters to see if a home base in the SANFL is worthwhile?

Yep, can guarantee within 2 years the Ravens will be based at Thebby and play all their home games there.

Whether or not Sturt get the coin, the Clones are marketing it to their flock as a "home game" - very much the thin edge of the wedge.

Think it will happen from next year Jim. My question is, is it the SANFL clubs pushing it or the Crows??
I reckon I had read somewhere where some clubs thought it cost them to host the Crows and were pushing for them to get their own home ground

Top spot maybe; but Sturt would have to implode pretty badly in the run home to miss top 3, especially after South's loss today.

On the plus side it would double the number of days in which I could spend a lazy afternoon in the GFC clubrooms while the team was occupied with a meaningless trial game elsewhere.

The LifeFM guys were saying a crowd of about 3000 and Ravens supporters were well out-numbered, as is the norm. From memory the two teams pulled more than that at Unley earlier in the year. Perhaps not the result those that made the decision were hoping for.

Perhaps not, but that's still a crowd of over 3 thousand without Sturt having the cost of putting on a home game as they were covered by Adelaide, while Sturt got the gate.

It was the result Keith Conlon was hoping for. Mind you, so too was the result at three quarter time.

Ravens looked too big for our blokes today, and too fast at times. Often simple skill errors and bad decision making let us down. The oval was pretty soft underfoot, and there were a couple of places where you could feel it moving as you walked on it, and on at least one occasion a bad slip directly cost us s goal, at other times it just resulted in turnovers. Korey Beard had a bad kicking day at full forward, which doesn't help when you go down by two straight ones. We definitely had our chances, but muffed it owing to all of the above. Smothering was a feature today, from both sides, though I reckon the Ravens produced them at more crucial, possibly game saving moments. Having said that about us, the Ravens were guilty of much the same, though I think.they held their feet on the soft ground better, and their overall height gave them the marking advantage.
Sturt perhaps didn't make full use of the breeze in the first quarter and the Ravens screwed up enough of their forward thrusts to be down by quarter time. While we held them in the second, we barely matched them in the third. When the Ravens went a goal up in the final quarter Sturt lifted the intensity hit back to level the scores, and for a little while there both sides traded center breaks. Sturt, however couldn't win it often enough inside forward 50 in the last, and this was where the game was lost. Although we did have our chances.
Umpires.
There were three calls that really shit me today, and numerous others that could've gone either way... I'll just mention the one where Reilly stood his ground, in front, and tried to mark the ball. His direct opponent grabbed him, pushed down on his shoulder, basically manhandled him so much he couldn't get to the ball. This all happened about twenty meters, if that, from where I was standing. The crowd wanted holding the man, so of course when we heard the whistle blow we all cheered. We were absolutely staggered at the actual decision though. I had a perfect view of it, how it was adjudicated that the Raven had done nothing wrong, and Reilly, doing his best not to fall over as he's being grabbed from behind, had infringed somehow...
Anyway. Nice arena, the stands and terraces oozed 1950's history.
Very interesting how a ground not used for SANFL usually, should have.a scoreboard capable of showing video quality adverts? Hmmm.

Yep, thought it was around the 3,200 mark.
Crowd split was about 5 or 6 to 1 IMO. Which is actually a lot of Crows fans by their standards. So possibly about 600 Crows fans, being generous. They even had a cheer squad of about 20 kids or so.
What I'd really like to know is, when did they build that state of the lql scoreboard? It is slightly bigger than the traditional SANFL wooden scoreboard, except it was completely electronic, and as I mentioned in my long post, it's capable of showing TV standard quality moving pictures. I imagine you could hook it up to give replays and live feed from the cameras, as though they didn't do this on Saturday.
Do what's it used to when the oval isn't being used to SANFL every 4 years? Do they play other sports there? OT is there some future plan?
