As for the crowd , who cares how many were there. The ANZAC day game is a reward for the 2 previous years Grand Finalists. Our game needs tradition. If you want your team on the main stage get into the GF. Simple.
A bit biased, but I would argue we have lost plenty.
Beech
Snelling
Francis
Bonner
Keough
Homburg
Anderson
Brind
That is plenty when you don't replace them....

The only hope for a re birth there would be a Norwood V Port Adelaide (while they stay in the comp) regular feature.
But I reckon clubs partisan support would not allow this obvious change,plus Norwood would not likely give up a home game.
I am not a member of either club just a suggestion that would pull a decent crowd every year.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Port are pulling very poor crowds since they abandoned the Magpie faithful. Their core is gone and the Power fans aren't interested.
Restricting it to two clubs, whoever those two clubs are, is the wrong track in any case. Look at the AFL's ANZAC Day farce this year. You could have Collingwood unbeaten on the top of the ladder with Essendon winless at the bottom, with a 150 point thumping the result and those morons will continue to schedule the exact same fixture year in year out. This year in the SANFL was an extreme situation in that Westies are in a rotten slump which could make history.
You are usually on a safe bet of two form sides if you invite the previous year's finalists to play the ANZAC Day replay. I reckon any combination of Norwood, Glenelg, Sturt or North, if still in form the following year, could draw 10,000+. You can call that the new big 4, as Port have abandoned their supporters.
I really pity them.
I can't remember the attendances on ANZAC day for the past few years, but should make interesting reading, in particular Central v Norwood a few years back and Norwood v Port, not so long ago.

Surely South should be considered when discussing the BIG 4. We have won more flags than the bays after all

Did you notice they had 87500 attend the game hardly a flop!
Next year they wil pull similar or more attending.
I think a regular success still counting the cash surely.
We couldn't pull 5% with the current schedule.

This millenium the big four would surely be Central, Central, Norwood and WWT. Yes, Central gets two guernseys.

The big four is an ideological construct based on crowds. I believe any one of Sturt, Norwood, Glenelg and North have a larger potential supporter base.

To measure the top four by premierships would be as Pseudo said.
