AFL 2025

They’re isn’t enough quality talent for 18 teams … 20 teams would be lunacy.

Come on we all know the 20 team decision won't be based of talent.... purely be a tv rights business decision and the AFL knows blind loyalty will mean fans follow their team no matter what. If Collingwood are top they will get huge crowds/tv viewers no matter the standard.

That’s why the AFL have completely lost the plot. It’s all about $$$. Not for profit my arse.

Memories of the good old Escort Cup in the early eighties. Matches at Thebby oval in the middle of the week. Sneaking through that hole in the fence to watch the South v Torrens blockbuster. It always seemed to be South who kept winning these matches.

...with a white football! Those were the days.

The sanfl did it back in the early 90s to replace pre season comp. I remember going to see Eagles v centrals on a tuesaday/Wednesday night play the grand final. Freezing cold. Not many others there.
Think it may have been 1993?

The one against Centrals was in '94. For some reason this game comes up on here every year or so.

Was a Tuesday night in gale force winds. The crowd would have been five figures though I reckon.

WWT 4.9
CD 2.7

Campo kicked 2 late goals to seal it I reckon.

Woodville were quite good at winning the battle of who could care less! I remember Scott Salisbury knocking Richard Champion's head into the West Lakes Mall, the next couple of minutes after that were brutal.

Woodville were quite good at winning the battle of who could care less! I remember poor defenceless Scott Salisbury having his elbow headbutted by Richard Champion, the next couple of minutes after that were brutal.

EFA...

I just watched it again, absolutely savage, would have to be 12 games nowadays, I don't know how Champion stayed on.

Incredibly fake tough, what a scumbag. By all accounts is just a delight to deal with off the field, too...
