Rounds 2 - Sturt v Adelaide Post Game

[lesthemechanic]

A few observations from today's game at Unley.

Hardly any Crows fans at the game - can only assume Wedgie and his mates have scared them off for the season. But then I would no more travel all over Adelaide to see Sturt Reserves play unless I had a direct connection to the club or a player.

Due to the lack of Crows noise they got ignored by the umps. Just 3 frees paid to the Crows up to 3/4 time. No crowd noise screaming for "Holding the ball" or "Holding the man" etc means that many Crows frees that were there were simply waved as play on by the umps.

Due to the youth of many of the Crows players they were consistently out muscled or out marked in many one on one contests against Sturt today. Yes they won the last quarter but by then the atmosphere of the game resembled a club internal trial between Blue and White with a smattering of polite applause whenever White kicked a goal.

Can't see Crows Reserves finishing in the top 8.

So how many people were there. We were promised a financial bonanza of an 4,000 Adelaide fans at their games . How many turned up today?

Don't know official crowd but I'm guessing 3500 at Unley today. I will be generous and give the Crows 300 at most.

I hope they drank a lot of beer & ate heaps of food.

There was silence on the radio each time they kicked a goal. Pathetic

Glad we smashed em. Would have hated being the first to lose to em.

Really enjoyed the way we got back into it in the first qtr. Hansen really stepping up this year.

Excuse me Mr. Forked tongue Trigg but two weeks in a row your 4,000 Crows supporters have not turned up !

Back to the game, Sturt must be ecstatic with their start to the season, can't do any more than they have.

[Ted E Bear]

Can Sturt win the flag?

[dedja]

Well they have a mathematical chance of making the finals so anything is possible.

So it's like going to a Crows or Port game in Adelaide then, but in reverse.

I'm sure he's losing sleep over it too.

I was busy until three quarter time yesterday but had the good fortune of being able to see the final quarter with my son yesterday.
On the radio there was complete silence when the Crows kicked a goal. It was eerie. I stood in the family area, and on a side note I'm proud to say that my 3 year old completely ignored the playground and was absorbed in watching his first game of football, but there were Crows supporters about, I
reckon there were 5 or 6 displaying their colours that I saw. The first time I have stood amongst a crowd watching footy, so dominated by Sturt folk. I think it must've been about 96 percent Sturt fans, easily.

[Dogwatcher]

It would be a joke if Callinan didn't play against us.

[Blackwhite]

Don't know official crowd but I'm guessing 3500 at Unley today. I will be generous and give the Crows 300 at most.

I wouldn't expect anything less from a bunch of fake supporters supporting a fake team. Well done on the win Sturt.

As compared to a fake SANFL club that's been pimped off to the AFL being portrayed as the Magpies, it's like a footy version of 'A Weekend at Bernie's'.
Talk about fake and gullible supporters!
For the record my 'like' of your post was accidental in trying to hit the quote tab.

While the AFL reserves sides have been beating pretty easy on each occasion, there could be a little pattern emerging.

The AFL reserves players fitness seems to be a factor with the AFL reserves sides winning the last quarter in each of the 3 games they have played.

So far

Adelaide 6.3
North 4.3

Adelaide 3.2
Sturt 1.2

Port Power 3.1
Norwood 1.5

Total being in last quarters

AFL reserves 12.6
SANFL Clubs 6.10

AFL reserves 18.6

In Adelaide's case is it not a matter of teams taking their foot off the gas with the game already won?

[Gozu]

Crowd 3,505.

[maxyoz]

Crowd 3,505.

Biggest crowd of the round?

[heater31]

Crowd 3,505.

Biggest crowd of the round?

But 3200 of them supporting the home team....imagine if they played a real SANFL club.....

You need to question yourself, not Trigg.

You see, you believed him when he made that estimate.
