Very little support for the Cows at the Second Semi
Those two clubs will bring a decent crowd and it could be a double in the GF if the Double Blues get up in the Ressies as well.
Hoping its Sturt. Should be no AFL in the SANFL.
With the poor crowd on Sunday it does ask the question again why not home finals in the first two weeks.
90% of the Sturt & Central District supporters left after their match. Very empty stadium for the next game.
Look at WA decent crowds for their finals and played at home grounds.
Imagine the Bay, Elizabeth, Unley packed for home finals would give it more of a finals atmosphere.
Why do you think the ADFL have home finals. Great crowd's fantastic atmosphere.
i agree with the playing of minor finals on suburban ovals, this was mooted back in 2009 and one of the reasons for not doing it was lack of media facilites
however as you can see not many support the idea on here
I do. It was a bit soul-less at Adelaide Oval on Sunday. Much like a domestic limited overs game being played at the MCG or Adel Oval.
However, say the game was played at Glenelg on the weekend - would Glenelg be able to cater for 4 teams? The lights there are ordinary - if they were required.
Glenelg did cater for four teams on the weekend, hosting both of the reserves semi finals.
Nevertheless I'm against the idea of suburban finals. I think the grounds need to be neutral and accessible. Perhaps once Thebby is done up it might be suitable, but I'm all for finals at Adelaide Oval.
