SANFL Round 3

[heater31]

Noticed driving in at South they were only scanning paid tickets, didn't look like they were counting the kids in the car. There were a lot of kids at the game

Kids are counted those electronic scanners have the ability the manually add them apparently

Kids counted seperately but included in total

[o five]

Just over 2K at Richmond apparently Gozu.

Those are terrible crowds. The season is fresh, plenty of upsets have made for an unpredictable comp, perfect weather.

Thought the Noarlunga game would have drawn 2K minimum. South crowds continue to be a worry, especially on the back of 11 straight wins at the ground. Were seeing more spectators when 10 goal losses were the norm.

I know that they are not popular with some on this forum, but I do think there is room for Sunday footy in small doses. Today would have been a good opportunity for a stand-alone game.

Agree its July type crowds in April and perfect weather, grassroots footy are getting bigger crowds

And here lies the problem of the $30 live streaming deal. Why would you go to the SANFL game when your local grassroots team is playing?

Weather forecast for 25/4 from one source is , a shower or two, increasing later
If it does rain and its wet, will it suit either Sturt or Woodville West Torrens ?

The Essendon v Collingwood game yesterday was streamed live on YouTube free of charge. Believe the VFL do this weekly

Would have thought the Eagles, but haven't seen either side yet this season

South home games should never be played on Saturdays against the SFL. The SANFL might wake up to this one day. Evven when theyve asked for Sundays the SANFL has programmed the opposite.

Wouldn't that apply to most country leagues aswell though?
Centrals playing on Saturday is madness when it was the opening round of the BL&G

Nah, its different down South, the SFL is a way of life, a massive day out and was ingrained into southerners long before South moved there.
Its much more evident.
For example North on the other hand dont do any better on Sundays which allows the local clubs such as Kilburn,Broadview, Gaza, etc attend.
Most Centrals fans I know dont even ive in the Barossa or Gawler.

Agreed, amateur soccer is the main opponent in the Elizabeth area. Sundays would be even worse for Centrals as the SAASL plays. Many Elizabeth Downs, Vale and Grove members and players attend CDFC games.

So anyone can watch it for free, yet SANFL you can't even pay for it if you are not a member!

10 points for a quarter . Wet/windy weather aside, this must be close to a low.

West/Legs 3rd quarter Friday night would give it a shake. It was one goal for the quarter I know that.

Edit: 11 points for legs/west 3rd quarter

Eagles heading to another Grand Final this year IMHO, their consistency in being in the top half of the comp since they merged has been very good despite failing at the last hurdle more than they should have.

Eagles win by 14.

Sturt with 1.16 after quarter time
