Was that the Port Power reserves ?

Did anyone go to any of the other grade games? Is anyone planning to go this week? I'd think the U/18s would be of a similar standard (excepting the fact that in the old days it was U/17s and U/19s) to as it would have been pre-AFL, as the majority of players have not yet been snapped up and shipped away.
I'm also wondering if they get a crowd to these games. I remember the U/19s grand final at Woodville Oval in about 1986, when Sturt beat Port. From memory about 2,000 turned up that day.
If I was in Oz, I definitely go to Unleash Solar and see the Sturt/Norwood double header. This end of the year I'd go watch the double blue compete in any grade.

I was at the Eagles v Sturt u18s game as the Eagles u18s timekeeper and I will be there this week at Alberton.

I went to Prospect on Saturday. Got there around half time in the Ressies game, not a bad crowd good to see a good number of Port fans supporting their side.

Crowd thinned out for the U18s unfortunately they missed a good game.

Will be at Alberton this week

Always enjoy the reserves/18s finals when I get the chance to see them. Didn't quite enjoy the port v Centrals game as much 18s was a really good game up until 3qtr time when the bays pulled away

For west

#21Middleton,

Glenelg had a couple, slips my mind though as I was using a camera for most of the time

Theri, you might want to change this weeks finals from Elimination & Qualifying Finals to 1st & 2nd semi finals.

oops!
But here's the thing; I can't! Or at least I don't know how. I've been using an I-phone recently, and when I quote or edit I can only get to the first ten lines or so. Anything after that I have to delete what I can get to for it to appear on my edit screen. In this case those mistakes are right at the end of my post, I can't reach it without deleting about 60 percent of what's before it.
Unless...I'll try something.

Nope, can't do it.

Or get a decent phone.

week 2 - u/18s Sturt def Nwd, Eagles def Glg. Nwd vs Eagles in the Prelim this week, 10.30am at Alberton Oval on Sat I think.
Reserves - Central def West and Norwood def Sturt. Central v Sturt in the Prelim this week.

I think u/18 and Reserves prelim are both being live streamed on the SANFL website?

Question - the SANFL website has the u/18 GF listed at 9.05am on Sun 7 Oct, at venue "TBA". Will it be at Footy Park, or somewhere else?

Will be at footy park. Not sure why this weeks 18s prelim isn't at footy park either.

[Squawk]

Thanks - I'm guessing that a 9.05am start time is a bit obscene and guys dont want to be turning up at 7.30am for a Prelim final. The SANFL may also be conscious of foot traffic, or with the Crows in AFL finals, they made bookings at suburban ovals.

Nwd vs Eagles in the Prelim this week, 10.30am at Alberton Oval on Sat I think.

Yes, correct, this game will be played at Alberton Saturday morning...

Yes, correct - should know tomorrow whether the games streamed will be commentated as well...

I think it's not to give the winner an advantage of playing at AAMI over Sturt who would have not played there this year.

[Squawk]

That sounds reasonable - except they are playing the reserves prelim at Footy Park and Norwood hasn't played there.
