He was interviewing Emily Sebohm who has just been swimming in Russia. That was a question.

Thanks Finny. I got to know her Father John way back in the late '70s until the mid 80s. Seebs and fellow Glenelg mate Daryl Rady were storeman for a company I traded with. Both of them were great people even though Rady was bit of a fruit loop on the footy field. Emily is definitely her Father's daughter which is always fortunate

Apart from her obvious talent, Emily seems to be a quality person as is her Father and of course her Mother.

I reckon Richmond will win a final this time.

And as long as Chaplin is out with a corky or similar.

Are The crowds any lower anyway from a couple of years ago. Non Sanfl clubs need to be realistic and see themselves for what they are and thats feeder clubs to the AFL. They need to start living within their means. No kid is interested in the product so natural attrition suggests one day there will be no supporters. The only thing that makes it interesting and worth following are the 2 AFL teams and this is why a game a week gets on the tv.

Yes, we lost to Brisbane and Carlton, but if anyone doesn't think our players had hit a wall after 5 rounds from hell, they've rocks in their head. Swap the Freo and Brisbane games and the Carlton and North games and I'm 95% sure we'd have won at least 3 out of 4 of them.

There have been several contributing factors to our shot season and the draw was one of them. Stating this doesn't invalidate the other reasons. Learn to walk and chew gum at the same time.

If 5 weeks of "tough" games was even a slight factor in our performance this year then we had nowhere near the mental and physical fortitude to compete for the premiership this year. Seriously, you think teams lose a GF and say, oh well playing in those finals leading up to the GF was really quite tough, it would have been easier if we had played off against a bottom 4 team?
Was our draw a factor in our performance this year? Possibly, who knows. Should it be any sort of even minor excuse? Absolutely not.

I'd have at least all of the following as factors in this season:
1. Tough draw
2. Playing underdone players early
3. Playing injured players through the season.
4. Poor selections
5. Bad use of the sub
6. Teammates not willing to run for each other
7. Neutering all our home Showdown benefits - obviously just a factor for that game

At some point straws will break a camels back.

And the Nab games, what shamozzle. And ASADA stuffing up 2 of our best 22's prep.

I'd agree with all but our draw. It wasn't that tough. The things that make the draw tough are repeated 6 day breaks, and long travel stints combined with shorter breaks. Our draw was almost as good as it can get in that regard. Yes we played some tougher teams to start the season, but if playing a few tough games in a row is enough to cause a 2 month period of horrible football, then we'll never compete for the premiership.

So 1 in 10 of the SA population follow AFL football, the highest in any state yet he believes that by kicking Port and Crows out of the SANFL it will revive the SANFL competition. This guy has no idea. Zilch. If Magpies leave that will herald the end of the SANFL and tv rights and all the rest and the $$$. Yes Andrew, there are different sets of rules for Port, Crows and the rest of the SANFL. The magpies are playing with one hand tied behind their backs with all the restrictions put on them with no zones, no mature players etc. yet all every commentator harps on and on about when calling Magpies games is the headcount of AFL listed players in the team. How about the rookies who have never played an AFL game mate? How about all the past AFL players in the other SANFL teams mate?

Crowds will go down as soon as they remove Port/Crows as they will go from 5 to 4 games a weekend, and the support for actual SANFL sides has been dropping for years. Even last weekend the two biggest crowds were 2396 at Alberton and 2287 at Unley which were the two games featuring the AFL sides.... crowds for other two games was 1950 and 1487.

If you take this into account, here's the past 4 years (2015 1 round to go)


So while the average crowd per game is down this year, the average per round is higher than the last year prior to the AFL sides joining. I.e. more people are going to SANFL 'each week' in 2015 than were in 2013.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I'd like to know the overall percentage of crowds for the year that were from games featuring the magpies or/and adelaide.

Haven't Centrals' crowds dropped away since they're not winning literally every week? I remember Kris Grant bemoaning the fact they copped a raft of wet games last year or the year before.

Just classic Fruchoctopian groupthink. No real analysis, just "correlation must mean causation!!1" feelings.

 

[Grave Danger]

"The fans are staying away because they are indifferent about a competition that has one rule for Port, one for Adelaide, and another for the other eight clubs.

They are aggrieved at their competition being devalued. By it being turned into a proving ground for professionals."

Ha ha - jolly old SANFL upholding the Corinthian spirit! They'll never be happy though - next they'll turn on the amateur leagues for luring their best players with more money

Ah yes, because nobody worked weekends or had families when they were winning. Must be Poort Powa's fault.

I wonder how many of those 800 have become Port or Crows members? It's a shit load easier to get to/from Elizabeth/Salisbury to AO then it was to Footy Park. Even without their drop off, when the travel logistics stop being a barrier the appeal of watching a second rate competition drops.
