They would lose half their audience.

More people that follow the Crows attend the SANFL than Port Power supporters.

When asked if the crows have been accepted into the SANFL, he talked for about 2 minutes without making any definite statement except he understands the SANFL has a lot of history and that after a while people will realise the crows "have an important role to play." Beyond that it's "yes and no" and "we've only been in it for two years. " No acknowledgement of the lack of crows supporters or the disparity of performance when they have more than 13 afl crows on field, or the lack of atmosphere, or even where or what the aforementioned important role might be.
I sort of hoped there'd have been some acknowledgement of realities and problems. It unfortunately was just political sounding waffle.

“On all measures apart from one the SANFL has more interest in it,” SANFL chief executive Jake Parkinson said recently.
The “one” measure, of course, is attendances.

Parkinson's comment has more spin on it than a ride on the Gravitron. The most critical factor in judging the amount of interest in a sporting team and competition is crowds, and was easily dismissed. Those in the know realise interest in the SANFL is waning.
If the Crows and Power attendances hypothetically halved next season, you can be guaranteed that they (and the AFL) would be up all night panicking that there was less interest in them and the game overall, irrespective of other criteria like TV ratings and website hits.
