Come on we all know the 20 team decision won't be based of talent.... purely be a tv rights business decision and the AFL knows blind loyalty will mean fans follow their team no matter what. If Collingwood are top they will get huge crowds/tv viewers no matter the standard.

Think it may have been 1993?
The one against Centrals was in '94. For some reason this game comes up on here every year or so.
Was a Tuesday night in gale force winds. The crowd would have been five figures though I reckon.

Woodville were quite good at winning the battle of who could care less! I remember poor defenceless Scott Salisbury having his elbow headbutted by Richard Champion, the next couple of minutes after that were brutal.

I just watched it again, absolutely savage, would have to be 12 games nowadays, I don't know how Champion stayed on.
