Unfortunately Sturt and Port are no longer able to use the words "heavyweights"
They are both just ordinary run of the mill sides. To get 2419 to that game on a Sunday was a pretty good effort by both teams supporters who still care about the SANFL. All SANFL clubs work very hard to get their supporters to attend club matches, what $h!t$ me the most is the AFL purists that go to every home game played in Adelaide that have no interest in their old club at all and dont have a clue wether they won or lost.
Ohh the irony of a South supporter commenting on crowds!
If Sturt and Port can't use the term "heavyweight" given they do both draw good crowds as a general rule and have very high membership bases, I would love to debate what words, terms etc. we should use to describe the SAFC, their membership and crowds both home and away???
6th versus 8th (and equal bottom) and both sides have been resting at or near the bottom of the ladder for three or four years now. Might be heavyweights but you wouldn't expect tooich more than how many turned up considering recent performances.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
