Pouring in town ATM.

Hardly a cloud in the sky now!
I'm off to the Reepham to enjoy both games and a lamb on the spit.

Its a funny old day Wedgie. Had a few showers in the morning and seems maybe to have cleared for a bit. Not sre if we will expect more later this arvo.

A perfect day for crows supporters to attend, go and watch the elim final..wander into the city find a nice restaurant,and have a nice rissoto washed down with an Adelaide Hills Pinot, and then off to the Sound of Music at the festival theatre- what a day - no excuses.

Go Dogs!

Go Panthers!

Honestly this is post of the year.

Stuff all here. Nice progress SANFL ! Great experiment.

Sounds like Lowden and Seedsman wont play for Adelaide...

Is the rule of them having to play all listed players ahead of top-ups so they have to play any duds on their list still around? Or has Lowden come down with a case of crapitis and Seedsman has restitis?

Crows kick the first into the breeze then score a ridiculous free .. Not a great looking start for the Dogs

Doggies right in this game

Tackling and pressure has been fantastic, just need a bit more composure with the ball

Looks like a massive Crowd @ the Oval on TV - atmosphere is electric.
Well done to the 4000 extra Cows supporters by abandoning the knitting & turning out for their Club in big numbers.
Not sure so many would be there if they weren't rewarded for their attendance all year with their free entry?
Who dares suggest this is bad for the competition?

In at the show
In all seriousness what's the crowd looking like

[another grub]

Building nicely

[csbowes]

Crowd looks like 2,000-2,500 to me...

<clap clap>

SANFL is on a winner.

Probably end up with 5,000ish for the day.

[csbowes]

Cheats 4.1
The Righteous 0.2 at qtr time

[RustyCage]

The crowds at week 1 of SANFL finals have been embarrassing for years, this isn't a post-Ravens issue

[csbowes]

Adding the Ravens has helped though hasn't it?

You are kidding!
I was just listening on the radio, and all I can hear are dogs fans. Crows got a goal and I heard some generous hand clapping. I thought maybe they weren't using effects mics, it didn't sound like a big crowd.
If they can't get at least 4,000 Crows fans there today, then the experiment has failed. No AFL all weekend and their first SANFL final. If they don't turn up today, they never will.

[csbowes]

Feel free to come and count them.

I'd say 1,000 on the western side, twice that in the east maybe.

I didn't go count them myself, it's a guess, but with 60,000 members it probably is the biggest Crows turnout I've seen, maybe 300-400.

This us a non-AFL weekend.
A poor crowd today means SOMETHING has stuffed things up. What do you think it would be?
Who finished 6th? Port? Let's just say there were no reserves and Port were playing Central and the Ravens didn't exist and this was a non-AFL weekend...
The reserves is a disease.

[csbowes]

Looks like game over now...

Cheats by 36 without even trying. Disappointing effort from Dogs, don't look that intense.
