Heartening to see that the SANFL are expecting a 35,000 crowd to Sunday's big game.
Compare that to the Power's two finals appearances at AAMI Stadium this year: 33, 131 v Collingwood; 27,661 v Essendon.
Be interesting to see if that many people rock up on Sunday.
Weather is expected to be a little dodgy, which by the way will suit those magnificent Dogs very well.

Good thing, I hope more turn up..it really justifies the large crowd on G.F. day...

Er, what's the admission price for the SANFL GF?
yep they need at least 35,000 to give it a good atmosphere it looks barren without that size crowd as Mc was hinting at if it is sensibly priced the crowd should come . The power matches on TV looked terrible with the stadium only just over half capacity was the only reason for this the price or is that the best crowd they could have hoped for?
OH and by the way go CENTRALS i will be hoping for a win and before holly and others start giving me a hard time i will tell you something about Mrs fishs family her uncle is Robin Mullholland and cousin is peter kreig . There you go thats something fellow north supporters didn't know i hope you blokes realise how much SH*T i cop on family days but as you blokes know i give as good as i get!!!
PS did any of the centrals supporters on BF see robin play his carreer had pretty much finished by the time i started going to footy by then i think he finished in the galwer districts area/ elizabeth districts in the A 1 amaturs

Good player - number 23? BOG in a final having kicked a bag. Pretty handy side that Central one. Still like that old Central guernsey the best.
macca that was very early 70s wasn't it ?

Robin Mullholland won Centrals B+F in 1968 and 1972.Also played state footy in 1972(don't know about the other years!!).Mac was right he was a good player and very well known at the time.There is a 'Kelloggs' card of him and I'm pretty sure a 'Mobil' card as well.
Peter Kreig well what a legend!!! 1991 premiership player and that's all that matters!!

Well, if Mrs Fish`s cousins, half brothers, stepdads, butchers, uncles, vets, best friends, Mums, gardener, played for Centrals, how could I not support the Dogs.

Crowd at WAFL Grand Final was 31,381.
I have always found the atmosphere much better at SANFL games. I've hugged a lot more strangers at SANFL games than AFL games. I always preferred going to the footy when the only seats were the front row, as I am sure a lot of people did.

Much like in the former VFL before the National AFL Comp took over.
