bays by 6 goals in a high scoring match with plenty of banging on the fence, in fact i might bring the vuvuzela along too

Please do, it'll give them something to really cry about

I thought the world fence banging championship was on that weekend in Bordertown

Lee's the unbackable favourite to win right

Heading down to watch this one. Injuries and suspension have conspired against the Crows this week to provide Glenelg with the best possible chance of securing a finals spot.

Yes

At Norwood Oval last week game against Adelaide Reserves
Eddie Betts entered the grandstand, he was applauded by the crowd, made up mostly of Norwood spectators[including myself]
By about 4:00pm Eddie left Norwood Oval, thinking he was suffering form food poisoning
He ended up in hospital , his appendix were removed

Amazingly they are saying  Eddie  will only miss 1 match

Anyhows what it means is that Eddie will have to be replaced by a current Adelaide Reserves player
Adelaide could well be under strength , with several of their AFL A graders possibly unavailable

If this game was played at Glenelg Oval , I would tip the baymen
However,Adelaide Reserves have a good away record , I reckon the side has won more away games then any other SANFL team, since their inception ...

Nice last paragraph, Scrappy

Interestingly they aren't scanning the tickets today, so effectively you could walk in & pass your ticket over the fence for your mate(s) to use, I haven't got any mates so I can't pass it over the fence

Oh by the way weather fine, oval in good nick

For those that know Plympton oval , this ground has a similar look, long & narrow wings/flanks

Handy win by the bays. Adelaide finished the better but Glenelg clearly had the better of the first 3 quarters.

Glenelg 5.1.31 8.7.55 12.8.80 13.8.86

Adelaide 3.1.19 4.3.27 6.4.40 10.9.69

Goal kickers

L. McBean 4
T. Milera 4
B. Merrett 2
J. Scott 1
I. Milera 1
C. Nicholson 1

I think we may've been a man or two down by lemon time (Merrett & possibly Agnew) but our last quarter was ordinary, Adelaide lifted its intensity & we didn't go with them, they undid all their good work from the first three quarters & had Adelaide kicked straight in the last term they may have pinched it

Has anyone seen an official crowd figure yet?

Genuinely looked no more than 600 there. Grand stand might have held 100 and there was probably 250 standing in front of the bar near the city end. Maybe another 250 scattered around the ground and that's being generous.

Fixturing (particularly the Crows SANFL team) up against the SA AFL teams just never wins.

I thought between 1200-1500
