Any injuries out of the game?

Maybe they were looking for a more appropriate venue...

Am I really commenting on an eastern league match?

And why in the SANFL thread????

In the cold light of sobriety this now appears to be a legitimate question, to which I do not have a worthy answer.

I have deleted what AFL commentary I have been able to, and I apologise for smearing my irrelevant thoughts on this most august forum. Hooray for beer!

I thought it was a bit bruise free. More a contest of skill than of muscle. No injuries noticed during the game, though I see in the write-up that Nunn had a hamstring niggle. Don't know how serious this is.

The game is on the SANFL site now

Was just thinking today when Sturt had a good crowd in attenance at Prospect, is it a concern that only Sturt, Norwood and North supporters travel to away games in numbers in a ten team comp? (excluding the 4000 Crows supporters of course)

Yes it's a concern.

Glenelg fans are normally in good numbers.

Its often been said good defences win Premierships

The two teams at present with the least against are :
NW 496
GL 501

Norwood's defence wasn't too good the night I saw them!

Both Norwood and North have won games this year- when not scoring a goal in the 2nd half IN 2021
NW V SA
NA V ST

Never at Prospect. I know of Glenelg supporters who don't know where Prospect Oval is!

When Glenelg play at Prospect there is a small gathering at the North Western end of the old grandstand and that is about it.

There are certainly a lot more North supporters at a match at Glenelg than vice versa.

****,I travelled 3000 km to watch the Bays at Prospect 4 weeks ago including a 400 km “sprint” from the Iron Triangle on the day of the game. Plenty of good Bays fans in the NW terrace, and you could see plenty of black and gold on the outer side and behind the Northern end goals.

Maybe Wedgie was all overcome that day from meeting Super??

I actually spent the 2nd half in front of the glassed off grandstand and thought Bays numbers in that pocket were well down on about 13 years ago.
Bays fans are very reliant on how their team is travelling too, I only see North, Norwood and Sturt fans in numbers at all games matter how their team is doing.
If the NW pocket which I had a great view of and the northern goals which isn't even terraced was the only spot they were I rest my case.

Trying to apply some logic and I thought maybe the inner suburb clubs have an advantage with less travel involved but Westies stuff that idea up.

Legs just keeping North's spot warm for them

I thought the Glenelg turn out was pretty good considering it was a 1.10pm start on a Saturday which would mean most travelling supporters had to be out their front door by midday.

The league is looking for a new sponsor after this year.

GL were 47 points down v NW in this match , but i have to 'Defend' my team
With about 10 minutes left GL hit the front and appeared likely to win by 2-3 goals
The magnificent NW defence held them at Bay instead

The defence against in 2021 are now
NW 564
GL 568

GL squandered a MArveLous opportunity to have the best accredited defence this season

Norwood's defence was wonderful against North at the Parade. Might have been 100 plus if not for their fine resilience in keeping us to just a 92 point win.
