When we came back out after getting the kids ready, it was back to old ways for West. I was also surprised by the small crowd, after the game had been heavily promoted all week as an historic match. I suppose it just shows what happens when the game is both on ABC and against a live coverage of a Crows game. The other surprise for me was seeing my an old workmate of mine, James McEntee lining up at full-back for the Eagles instead of the forward line were he used to plat most of his footy.
You don't think the weather had anything to do with the small crowd giffo.
I thought the EAGLES may have out numbered the bloods fans .
Did you enjoy Westies playing the centrals song at the start of the game?
I wasn't surprised with the number of fans on Saturday. What I was surprised with is that there wasn't even half the crowd on Friday at Adelaide than I expected. Even with the weather forecast, I would have thought there would be 6000 at least. And no one likes to mention when we do at least have as many of the opposition fans, even more than, do they?
You and everyone else keep telling us Eagles fans have only about 1/2/50/200/500 go to each match, so with North in there instead it should have beaten last years figure at least, even taking amateur commitments into account.
