Glenelg Norwood centrals filling the bottom 3 spots on the ladder and south and eagles doing well would almost be the worst case scenario for crowd numbers would it not? Point taken about ports crowd being down though. Would be interesting to see what the crowd numbers are like in the power bye week, because it didn't really seem to affect the crows reserves numbers
Centrals are in better position win loss wise at the same time last year but their crowds are down
I never thought of Centrals as a big crowd puller anyway. Not in the same category as Norwood and Glenelg. The bays have been a basket case for a couple of years now so you can't use their current form as a reason for a downturn in attendances this season.
Norwood is fair point though. From premiers to poetical spooners inside 1 year, you would expect crowds to drop off but that should have been compensated by Sturt's upturn in fortune.
Eagles were there or thereabouts last year like this year but you would expect a big upturn in Port attendances which hasn't happened. Apart from Norwood, big crowd losers this year would be North.
