Was at the game and couldn't agree more. THe ground was deadset quiet. You would not have known it was a home Adelaide game but for the lovely Westend signage
The only time the Crows made any noise was after a goal and even then that barely carried to the next bounce. In the 4th qtr when they got within 12 points there was noise at the ground. It lasted about 1 minute till Lucas scored another to get Essendon out by 3.
Was a very poor effort from the crowd. I think they were just waiting for Adelaide to get ahead before they started.
Also, was amusing to see the place empty at the 20odd minute mark of the 4th qtr.
That said, the Adelaide supporters were really good in their nature. Ive been over to AAMI for a Port game before and they're feral and want to rip you up. You literally need to travel in 'packs'.
The Adelaide crowd were great, walking to and from the ground we were given thumbs up and congratulations and even shared a couple witty and remarks each way.
Those Adelaide folk on their bbq in the carparks were really good! Once lot gave us a thumbs up and so on and told us to live up the win as it wasnt coming back in a while, I told them we planned to as if 2007 is anything like 2006 we've only got another 3 for the year
So all in all....... was a quiet but friendly crowd.
