Who is potentially in for West as they will need them.

Silverlock, Hill, Hartlett, Francis and Fielke will all be considered I would think.

Thought Riley Milne was very good too and is highly under rated (even by the club)

Well done Westies by far the better team. Good luck in the Grand Final, but I must admit my consistent admiration for the WWT Eagles has my support.

We had a crap day, cant tell if that was due to the quality of the opposition or our own poor form. I will give the benefit of the doubt and applaud westies effort and skill.

Centrals are the only team to publically voice their concern about the current set up. True to form that the working class lead social issues. I cant believe we hear so little from the opposition clubs. Its embarrassing their complicit stances. Even South say nothing. Sturt actively want to be taken over. They shouldn't be the double blues. they should be the double whites. Keep on actively waving those white flag sturt supporters. North no better, Glenelg complicit and Norwood sell outs. Supporters of these clubs who want a real competition should attend the AGM's and raise logical and well thought out motions against this set up. You are pathetic if you don't.

Hartlett, Fielke, Silverlock and Hill. Must be 100% fit otherwise can't play them, will be exposed in the game with players carrying an injury. No matter what happens, will be a few blokes who would be stiff to get dropped following todays game. Reminds me of the 2012 GF when Collins dropped a teenager by the name of Rory Laird.

Im not interested what you read but what do you hear?

Good luck to Westies next week, crowd will be boosted by 2k North supporters there for the Ressies at least. Go Bloods, have a great week!

Crowd would of been boosted by a few Norwood fans coming to the U18's but in the SANFL's wisdom the GF was today.
Sad to not see a triple header GF, would of been a great day for Eagles fans with all 3 playing

My team is in the GF and I couldn't give a stuff how many turn up.
Big crowd days are over. Get over it people.

I'll bet a fair portion who comment and complain won't turn up as a neutral fan. Well those of you in that boat have got West to support for next week, so why not turn up and get them over the line. We are used to the less supporters and West would be about the only club we could outnumber (South would have just about every fan turn up if it was them), I'd imagine the only neutrals to go for us would be some Central fans.

Anyway, enough of that, that was a good effort by the Dogs to get that far. Congrats to Westies and hope for a good match in a novelty to SANFL Grand Finals.

The current set up has nothing to do with your loss . Some decent points you make backed up by some stupid ones. Looking forward to your facts about clubs actively wanting to be taken over. No mention of the Eagles or West ?

Just general footy talk but more what I have read and from Central people.

Well done West.
Sturt actively want to be taken over? Haven't heard that one before, unless you are referring to that motion floated a couple of years back which was howled down by all and sundry.

poo.
Carn The Bloods next week, 32 years without a flag is a bloody long time.

Well done CDFC for enabling me to watch the Dogs in three Finals games most of us wrote you off half way through the year.

Congratulations to the Mighty Bloods from the first bounce you hit us hard with your desire for the ball and we were not in the game until the third quarter for about 10 minutes alas i reckon the Dogs played their Grand Final against the POWER PARASITES last week.

Once again well done WAFC and all the best for next week.

On a side note at least i will not have to fork out $35 next week for the granny what a RIP OFF it will be interesting if the cost of admittance to AO will deter neutrals from attending????

Until next year bye bye all.

Not sure why the response to a small crowd . Both clubs have small support bases . This is probably adelaide ovals biggest test actually.
I hope West get over the defensive Eagles not sure game prepared them for it as it will be very physical next week.

Best of luck, Westies. But I have a good feeling everything is clicking for us.

Yep.

Not a great crowd, but probably comparable to the last few years
2009 Bays and Sturt 9k
2010 Nwd/Eags 7k?
2011 Nwd/Eags 6k
2012 & 13 North/West 5-6k
Last year 8k

So basically the crowds for prelims are up since the AFL reserves teams entered. The people have spoken, they want "AFL in the SANFL"

Just jokes people, keep calm before you start angrily pounding those keys

Full credit to West today. They were a determined, committed team and played the better footy. It's been an amazing turnaround this season from Central. After a poor start to the season we hung in there to beat South at Noarlunga to make the finals and then taking out Norwood and Port in consecutive weeks was a great effort. All doggies supporters should be proud and looking forward to next season.

Good luck to Westies next week. It will be tough against the Eagles who have looked good all year. 32 years is a long wait so hopefully you guys can do it!

so pretty much every member of both clubs was there! Won't get more than 30 k next week. Pathetic.

Nothing pathetic about it Dols.
Supporters of the teams in the GF don't care how many turn up.
At least Port Magpies / Power aren't in it.

I wouldnt be saying much considering the woeful turn out of Magpie fans at last years GF. Lucky if 3,000 of the crowd were Port
