I didn't mean naked, but now that you mention it that's not a bad idea. I'd be there to see that. What's you know what?
Are you the "BIG FOOTY CROWD EXPERT"???

and he would help there.......but I think a couple of East Coast clubs are in the front running and I doubt he would like the media attention players get in Adelaide...........
PS......if you want us to do something if you get the closest crowd figure surely you are prepared to do something if you don't.........I think Vi's idea sounds good.........except you can wear clothes as well.........we wouldn't want you covered in Whyalla's dust.......
thought this was interesting on the ABC News......
Port Adelaide leave door open for Carey talks
Port Adelaide has not ruled out the possibility of talking with former Kangaroos captain Wayne Carey about his playing future.
Carey is on the market after resigning from the 'Roos on the eve of the season-opening match.
The Adelaide Crows are one of several clubs declaring their interest in signing Carey.
And while Port coach Mark Williams says discussions are not on the agenda at the moment, they may be later on.
"Right at the moment we are not considering it, but, you know, we may," he said.
"We may talk about it later on but right now our number one focus is winning games this week."

49 off. Actually I was quite surprised by the crowd. Like some of us said it was the first footy for a month and that must have counted for something. But when the weather turned I thought we may get only 22,000. The terraces certainly looked like it. A lot of people were standing out of the rain, though.
But a good attendance. And a great game. Three wins by under a goal so far this year shows our strength of character.

mic!!! Congratulations, not a bad effort, Results will be posted later on. I actually thought it was a great crowd considering the weather, the crows got a similar crowd against Stkilda in similar conditions a few weeks ago. It may have looked vacant on TV but the shelters were packed, the outer fans were trying to stay dry, I have still got wet socks, went to the lakes for a few after, won $70 on the pokies so came out even. Who says it costs too much to go to the footy
"Damn"
Okay, where's that Power scarf Noddy?

Still another 3 home games to go,though. You're right, Floodbuster, it ws a great crowd. And considering the Cows draw their supporters from more of SA than us, we can see who have the more loyal supporters. And we have the media against us. Mark Aiston on 10 was saying it was teeming down. Well, why do I only have 1 wet sock and my trousers, not jeans, came through relatively unscathed. And I never felt it necessary to leave my seat. Could it be that commentators are trying to drive our footy supporters away from the game and to the television?
Next crowd will be interesting, different kind of game and not the first back. Hope the weather holds.

I think we will also beat our own Showdown record from last year, something you guys failed to do this year
Would've been 25,284 had I not had to attend my school formal... (I was getting score updates every 15 minutes
)Anyway, moving onto this weeks game against St Kilda, I'd say we'd get around about the same, except good weather may see us get 27,890... but then again, I haven't checked the weather forecasts.

Time for a stab at the St Kilda game. I know I don't have to do it till 11.00am but I'm afraid I'll forget to do it if I leave it late.
With 3 definite non-starters and at least 2 questionable some people may stay away. But I doubt if it would be for that reason. I was worried about the weather last week but I was surprised how resilient our supporters are. Again I would say the only minus would be St Kilda's pulling power. I know they're better than the Tigers and we got over 25,000 there but everyone likes to see us thrash the Tigers.
But second week back after 3 on the road should mean a better turnout than expected. And some of St Kilda's have had a good write-up in the press, especially Riewoldt.
Day of the match. Sunny but freezing. My hat blew off in the wind. Cold and wind tend to be the things that keep crowds down. I'll say 24,945.

25,789. Rain and hail forecast for tomorrow plus 13 degrees, so I think people will stay away.
