This is often the case with the TV games. Not enough supporters to create a good atmosphere at some grounds. Woodville , Richmond ,Elizabeth and Noarlunga are bigger ovals and just have no atmosphere.

Are you sticking up for the AFL crowd but run down the crowd at Woodville oval if this match had a smaller crowd why don't you continue the rubbish you post about crowds at Woodville oval 
if this afl seconds clash meant anything it would have been the curtain raiser at Adelaide oval 
stop running down SANFL crowds if you can not say the same things when the afl seconds attract small crowds

Just shows how afl-centric they are.
How does this game get to be match of the round when you have 1st playing 2nd?
Well because you have 2 afl clubs playing that's why. And that is clearly more important than anything else.

So are you going to have a maximum Crows supporters watching when they're all off to watch their afl team playing straight after?

And if Younie left at half time, then if there is a greater action that demonstrates their flippancy to the sanfl competition, then someone is going to have to explain it to me.

But wait, the Crows and power reserves are good for the sanfl aren't they? Sorry I forgot the mantra for a moment there.  


I agree with you Chambo
if the afl seconds match meant anything it would have been played before the afl game

I may have misread his context, but it did sound like he was pumping it to be the "best" game of the round.
Maybe he said it after the Blues got mauled the day before, that 1 v 2 wasn't such a great spectacle, but to me it didn't sound that way.
Doesn't really matter anyway.
