NAB Cup GF Adelaide v St Kilda

[Psyber]

Turning out to be a close one.

Robert walls is the worst human being in this country - i really dislike this tool. Robert walls "only 27,000 here, not happy, they scream and shout about how much they love their footy in this state and they only mange to half full the stadium"

Wall's your a tool. continued to bag Adelaide all night. saying earlier in the night how the crows wont kick winning scores all year, they continue to chip and not attack.

I'm not usually one to whinge about SA getting an unfare deal by VIC media at all, but Robert Walls needs to go.

LOL I reckon Port got more to the GF a few years ago, Crows fans always complain they cant get a seat at regular season games, now was their chance.....excuses excuses.....

However, the F of A would not have much effect on Port fans if it coincided with a match...

[Pup]

The crowds are low because the NAB cup is a joke and the supporters aren't falling for the hype of the "big" match the GF supposedly is.

You dont really believe that do you?

[Psyber]

The only problem with the size of crowd was in the members area. They are the ones that didn't show up

They are the very people who may be here, don't you think?

Only if they served chardonnay.

More than likely didn't want to pay to get in.

Plus it was too bl**dy hot for them

Oh yes, the members are such a cultured bunch of people, so much more than the piffle in the outer.

[Wedgie]

No AFL finals of any sort should be held in Adelaide, attendances are disgusting.
And the rule that the team who has the biggest winning margins gets the pre season GF is ridiculous when one team doesn't play one game at another's home ground and 2 at their home in the lead up.
The AFL should toughen up.
Actually the AFL should insist Geelong are involved in every game as teams involving 2 of the other 15 teams are boring as hell.
Mrs Wedgie loves her Crows but had turned on to Scooby Doo by 5 mins into the first quarter, from all reports it didn't get a lot better either.

I could hear the tone of the commentators and trust my other half's judgement.
Crikey, I walked in half way through the 2nd qtr and it was something like 10 to 11. Must have been raining a downpour!
Who cares though, only a practise game.
Mind you, what is the Crows record in pre season GFs now? Something like 0 and 4 or 0 and 5?

Fair enough, I suspect most had fallen asleep or tuned into Scooby Doo by then.

[Blue Boy]

Had a bit of fun tonight.

2 highlights were Tippett and Mackay again - both lads must play round 1 !!!

I CANNOT believe how disgraceful the commentary was tonight. Robert Walls was a joke, an absolute joke. The continued bagging of Adelaide was unbelievable. Who the heck cares if people turn up to the NAB Cup, it was 37 degrees and cost $30, and this is a practice match. Robert Walls, you are a TOOL.

Yeah, she really loves her Crows.

Yep, she does, always one black sheep in the family though.
(Like most REAL football followers she couldn't care about a practise game if the quality is crap, unlike morons who would sit through 2 hours of crap footy watching a trial game.)

I agree with Robert Walls 100% tonight, crikey, I used to love going watch Adelaide City in a Sunday evening game on a hot day, once the sun goes down there's nothing better than sitting outdoors watching a sporting event.

I was at Norwood/South last night. So that makes me a moron?

I think an apology is in order to ALL the MORONS that go out of their way to support their club and players and make an effort and show up when their team is playing regardless of the result and regardless of the over all importance of that particular match.

Trial matches are important for the players and coaching staff for the up coming season and should not be trivialized because you or your wife haven't got a clue in what they are trying to accomplish.

The players and support staff at Glenelg appreciate the effort their supportors make as i'm sure the same goes for every other club.

I'm surprised that that sort of narrow mindedness would come from a site admin.

Incentives ?
St Kilda was the only club to make a financial loss last season?

Now the Saints are almost guarenteed a profit in 2008.

And my beloved Saints win a g/final

[Rushby Hinds]

But more importantly, in the mini league game across the oval @ half time, the team sourced from the Glenelg Zone (St Kilda jumpers) absolutely smashed the team sourced from the North Team, wearing Crows colours. Something like 5 or 6 goals 6 to zip.

All good!
