[spell_check]

15,825 I heard the crowd was. Last year it was 11,476, but it turned out to be a worse day weather wise last year. This is how it sits with the other crowds since 1991:

1991: 31,455 W.A/P.A; N.A/Eag
1996: 31,245 Eag/W.A; P.A/Nor
1995: 25,895 N.A/W.A; P.A/Nor
1994: 21,226 Nor/Gl; P.A/C.D
1993: 18,529 Nor/C.D; P.A/Gl
1992: 17,154 Gl/S.A; Eag/N.A
2008: 15,825 Nor/P.A; C.D/St
2000: 15,539 St/Nor; C.D/P.A
1997: 15,109 N.A/St; P.A/C.D
1999: 14,590 Nor/St; Eag/Gl
1998: 12,065 P.A/C.D; W.A/Nor
2006: 11,902 S.A/P.A; C.D/N.A
2004: 11,842 N.A/W.A; Eag/St
2007: 11,476 Gl/St; N.A/Eag
2001: 10,898 Nor/W.A; Eag/P.A
2002: 10,765 Eag/W.A; St/Nor
2005: 9,434 N.A/St; P.A/Eag

Edit: 15,825; not 15,835.

At least no one has mentioned this
The crowd running onto the ground for CHAMBERS 100 goals cost ST the game
They did when GEHRIG kicked his 100 goals + SK lost to PP in a prelim final

Its purely coincidental what happens after the crowds run onto the ground

Doggies!!!!!!
Pulsating last quarter.

Well done to you Cennals for listening to it over there!

[Aerie]

Centrals just seemed to keep Sturt within reaching distance most of the day and ended up playing to win in the final quarter while Sturt were playing to save the game. Crane should have kicked that goal at the end to win the game. Could be some nervous Sturt supporters next week... Well done Central - tough, gutsy win, as we've come to expect.

All I want to know is why a crowd can discipline itself to stay off the ground after their team wins a Grand Final, and yet they can't resist storming onto the ground like houligans just because someone kicks their 100th goal. It's crap, it's self-induldulgent, it's unnecessary, it's stupid, and a complete waste of everyone's time.

ie less Amateur/Country teams playing than normal.
There was finals today too.

[Punk Rooster]

you'll find that the 8 other sides in each division would show some interest in their GF, as would family & friends.

Yeah but people still rave on about GEHRIGS 100 costing SK the final
The real reason SK lost is becoz they didnt score 1 more goal for the game

That isd probably one of the best questions ever asked and spot on too, never thought of that

Go the Blues.

Thats what you call hitting the nail on the head! Not good enough today blues and it will be a long way back from here!

MAL it was the only thing that could have stopped St K at that stage because not only was the scoreboard starting to get away from Port but it was the fact that they had hardly touched the Sherrin. The break allowed them to regroup and start afresh.

No, it's not. When I was a lad, people streamed onto the ground after a Grand Final. The authorities wanted it stopped, and they did it. Running onto a ground while a match is in progress is not traditional, it's illegal.

BZZZT Wrong!
It was traditional to invade the game after premiership wins and was NOT traditional to invade the oval after someone scores 100 goals.

[bayman]

whoever the player was that gave away the free when feast was having a shot virtually in the goal square should be planted on the outs for next weeks side, why was sturt trying to save the game rather than win it during the last term ?

as far as glenelg is concerned from my point of view is the game was what we'd hope for hard & tough

no mate your wrong i recall distinctly running on the ground as a kid when fred phillis kicked his tons & i also know it was done for ken whelan, scott hodges, stephen nicholls & malcolm blight among some others as for the gf yes that was stopped

[smac]

From 10 minutes into the 3rd, I had a good feeling about the game.

That could be because I had about 14 beers under my belt by then, it could also be because we had started to crank it up by that stage.

A great day at the footy, looking forward to the bays next week.

Tough footballers win games of footy. We had more of them than Sturt did. I wasn't surprised.
