Well I was wrong :shock:

Excellent coaching by Pyke tonight. The crows really tried hard to switch the ball which they haven't done recently and it opened up geelongs defence easily. Our field kicking was exceptional tonight too

We took the game on though. We hit that 55m switch kick to open the game up numerous times, especially in the first half

Serious question here; Do the club actively encourage members/supporters to go & follow the crows reserves in the SANFL via email/text/Facebook/twitter etc?

they run a score by score update service on their twitter feed similar to what they do for the AFL games.

Don't know what they do by way of encouraging people to attend but certainly the games good coverage on their own media

But do they encourage you to go to games?
"Our boys need your support", "Show your support for the club"...?

Do you go watch Sturt reserves?
Most Crows fans would have another SANFL side they supported before 91.
Personally I'm that busy on weekends I barely get to Crows AFL games, so West is even more of a struggle and then trying to get to the Crows SANFL game is impossible.

I usually get to the 2nd half of most reserves games when I go, like you I probably miss 2 out of 3 games due to other commitments however my club president didn't promise that 4000 people would show up to watch the reserves play ;)

Nothing to do with North but nice attempt at deflection.
