An ideal week to get the Ravens, given their senior team play on the Thursday night which would have contributed to them having to play 9 'top-ups'.

A few more familiar names in that Bloods line up now, so no surprise to see them starting to play some better footy.

I saw an unofficial crowd figure of a whopping 1750...

Clearly, 'Chardy' doesn't go well with Steak Sandwiches...

Pathetic effort in terms of attendance from the crows supporters - So much for their guaranteed 4000 supporters! I counted 15 crows supporters - There may have beenone or two more, but if there were, they were well hidden and very quiet.
West Adelaide never looked like losing - I cant recall being to a game where we had 99% of the crowd...

I haven't seen much media this past week, but did the crows promote this game at all like they promised? Especially with their other side having the Bye?

I give credit to the Crows officials and players for coming to the after match presentations.... From their playing group and coaching staff, they must be disappointed too and thinking what a blunder it has been to demand a reserves side when there was nothing wrong with the way things were.

I'm guessing there are a few red faced commissioners too when they start looking closely at the crowd numbers and there is still a large number of supporters boycotting these games. The attendances at Alberton have been well down as well. When Port lose their U16 and U18s and have no academy side by 2016, AND hopefully be forced to pay a yearly fee like the crows as they should be made to, things will become very interesting.

Without a gimmick like Tex playing, the crowds will never be huge

West played two quarters and won easily.
Crows only had a few good players.
We have some more injuries.
West are slowly getting better and are at least now competitive.
Crows do not have a following in the SANFL.

That reminds me, where's Dog_ger these days. Haven't seen him around much lately

Crowd 1,750

So the promise of 4000 attendances at games by Crows heirachy ( ie liars) is nothing but blatant crap ( Thats putting it lightly)
The Crows will finish near the bottom this season, and serves them right for wanting to change a system that was OK

Incorrect. There would have been -2250 had the Crows fans not been there.

Ironically what the Crows have done is make it possible for Port to get an advantageous set up.

I got told that Crows Supporters don't like sat. night football that is why there was non one there

Yeah, it's cold and dark at night, and there are scary people about.
