Disagree, perfect conditions and playing an opponent that you are almost guaranteed a win against.
Playing a fantastic, good brand of football and a real chance of a top 4 spot this year. Would of thought 40k crowd at worst.
Dont tell me the state squandered squillions on a new oval that will rarely be filled
Yeah agree,
Over 40k members isn't it now and still only just over 35k at a game especially considering there is still that 'novelty' 'new' factor to AO.
Its not a bad turnout but deep down I think the SANFL and the AFL clubs would have expected slightly bigger crowds especially early on. It does prove that simply having the city location doesn't automatically equal huge crowds as many people thought prior to the re development.
Also no surprise to see the Power put in their best performance for the year while 'the fuuuuucha' was sitting in the stands.
