Fair call. They aren't from one, particular, supporter base, though. They are buying a ticket for a venue, not a club.
There could be Centrals supporters among them, or Sturt, or South, or even Adelaide.
However, when do CDFC, Sturt or South members get into SANFL finals for free?

Not really, SACA only has real ownership of the ground October - Feb.
Anyway that's irrelevant as my post was just backing your point up further about how everyone but the most relevant supporters get a free ride while the real supporters continue to get screwed.
With over 50K of free tix it shouldn't be too hard to scrounge one though. I used to have dozens a couple of years ago.
I was thinking of going to cheer the Dogs and Panthers this year but a free lamb on the spit was offered at the Reepham so I'll miss it and watch it on TV.

We beat them in round eight and round 13 last year.

That's the one. 60-odd points.
I wasn't there, hence I'd forgotten it ;)

I hope the Crows win.

My hate for Centrals simply cant be measured and will never be surpassed by anything SANFL related. Purely because of 00, 01, 04 and 05. That pain can never be erased

I hope Sloane and Brodie Smith also get permits and play blinders and get through unscathed. Its a shemozzle already they may as well pile it on

But I do hope Kyle Presbury plays a ripper game to be a lone hand for Centrals

I found out the other day the SANFL back charges SACA the entry cost for each membership used. Explains why the SACA don't really promote it too much...

This is by far the harder of the two games to pick imho. Centrals certainly have a good record against Adelaide, including two solid wins this season. But this game is not at Elizabeth where Centrals have played their best Football this year. That, combined with likely inns for Adelaide, have me leaning to Adelaide by 2-3 goals. Not saying that with a whole lot of confidence though.

Geezus! He may play!

Adelaide captain Luke Carey is itching to lead his side into battle for its debut IGA League finals series at the Adelaide Oval.

With star midfielder Cameron Ellis-Yolmen granted approval to play, Carey said the Crows are excited to tackle Central District in Saturday’s Elimination Final at 12.10pm.

Speaking on SANFL Radio, Carey – who previously played in the SANFL with Port Adelaide – said the Bulldogs’ potential was highlighted by their run to the Preliminary Final last season.

The key defender said former AFL captain Nathan van Berlo (foot), wingman Paul Seedsman (corked buttock), defender Tom Doedee (rib sprain) and ruckman Luke Lowden (ankle) were all a chance to return to the line-up.

Lowden’s presence in particularly would ensure Adelaide could potentially stretch the Bulldogs’ back six, with the former Hawthorn utility joining fellow giants Paul Hunter, Harry Dear and resting ruckman Reilly O’Brien inside attacking 50m.

Just heard Roy Laird whinge on the news. Cam played every game and he will be dropped for the AFL in a week. So he deserves to play.

And he should remember that Rory Sloane and Brodie Smith could've been selected to play SANFL this week and crows chose not to play them
