Agree with this. Don't see why they can't schedule a few more games at Adelaide Oval during the year, even if it means having more rounds in the season and getting rid of the Foxtel Cup, or even allowing the Crows to use as their home ground for SANFL matches - just not as a curtain raiser to the AFL.
The time to experiment with suburban finals was the last few years. Glad that they are using Adelaide Oval for all the finals now it is available. Perhaps suburban finals need to be revisited in a few seasons if crowds are poor.
