After being the first club in Australia to have a crack at Good Friday Footy, and making a success of it , its fair to say we've drawn "the Crow "!
The game which sees us playing The Crows, will as per usual be a financial disaster for the club-its barely worth opening the gates.
The crows have very little or no support at SANFL level; and those few that do attend will drive in seated in their Toyota Camrys, bring their own Thermos of tea, a knee rug and Apricot slices, and spend zero at our food outlets.
A far better option would have been South playing Glenelg, which was the original Good Friday fixture which proved to be very well attended in the past. Also with former Glenelg favourite son Bryce Gibbs donning the Navy Blue and White it may have added a little more spice to the game. :roll:


Bullseye.


You can play North and Centrals won't play Good Friday. Even better solution.

I assume because they like generally to schedule a couple on Thursday night, and more recently Friday, and it throws the fixture for next week out of whack if you've got big discrepancies between teams in terms of days since last match.

Easter Sunday is a terribly bad day for footy so I understand why they give that one a miss. Am a bit surprised they didn't schedule one on the Saturday.

I think that the last Easter Monday matches were in 1987 when a double header was held at Footy Park.
Despite Oakbank being in its prime, Easter Monday footy crowds had been excellent up to that time so I don't know why they stopped.
There was a lot of strange programming back then.
The traditional Anzac Day Grand Finallist rematch was stopped for a number of years in the late 1980s and early 1990s.


Sturt vs Eagles at Unley in 2016 was on Easter Monday. Crowd of 3,386, Eagles home by 39 points.
(thanks Spell Check for the confirmation)

When I last checked the score in the Reserves, South were 3 goals up but looks like we have kicked the next 10

I would say the players would be very keen on it so they can still enjoy 3 days off over the weekend.
Anything that doesnt discourage players from having a crack at SANFL is fine by me. Bugger the supporters
