Breky DJ and Mr Centurion thats what i have been saying for weeks re VFL crowd numbers no one gives a flying rats toss bag about going and watching AFL reserves i will say it again the MAIN AFL game is the only game in town that AFL footy fans are interested in do ya get it.

I turned to them thinking they were taking the piss because I was in my NAFC top and I queried them in a rather sarcastic and nasty tone. Sure enough they were serious and didn't have a clue who he was! Then it was my turn to load up and give it to them. I started in a nice fashion re debating then got into a more heated discussion which turned into an arguement and end with me telling them to "f**k off!"


Please tell me there's footage of that one aswell!! :D

I hope he's right. I wonder who the third No is? Obviously Norwood is one and from all reports Central is another.

South?

They have the biggest challenge for crowds. Could they be scared off by the threat of people to walk away? Out of all the clubs I think their supporters would have the easiest task to do it given the lack of success since 1964....

I doubt Glenelg are one of the 3. There was a message on the GFC website last Wednesday that a time and date for an "information evening" would be set at the board meeting last Wed night, but we haven't heard any more from the club about it since then, and the message, along with the SANFL Commission's proposal has been removed from the GFC website for some reason. :?

I listened to the start of the Saturday morning show on 5AAFL and David Wildy believes that South should blindly “conform” and vote yes because they have been an embarrassment for 50 years (can’t argue that). Hmm, great reasoning. Typical of the clowns on Adelaide radio.

I wouldn’t believe any vote count you hear in the media, especially from Rucci. He’s been stirring the pot for months. I’ve lost count of the number of times he’s confidently said the Crows will be accepted, even if he has pointed out the holes in their proposal.

Talked to a Port bloke yesterday at a footy carnival in Cambrai who was arcing up at the SANFL denying Port entry to the SANFL comp for their reserves but allowing the Crows to enter unimpeded.

You couldn't make it up.
