Yeah good point, for some reason I thought the AFL Crows were playing Saturday night...
Re playing at AO it's been pretty obvious that Ch 7 has been trying to avoid any clashes between broadcasted SANFL and AFL games. They had the Norwood-Port game shifted to the Thursday and some other games have been programmed earlier. Perhaps a twilight game leading into the AFL game would've been good. But then again, opening up the AO for a small crowd might not be worth it. Plus Port miss out on the money it would've made had it been at Alberton.
