If the mighty black and whites were in the GF then it would have been 150k make no mistake!!

The banners went up, that's it. There was a fellow absolutely screaming shit into a microphone blasting the wax out of everyones ear drums, christ it was loud. The venue is not adequate for what is being presented. The game itself was actually of a very high standard until just before half time, when Subi took it apart. Up until then the goalkicking was 1000 times better than what Id seen the night before, it really was. But they must move the GF from this venue asap.

Considering the GF's are televised live into our lounge rooms, you wont get 30k crowds anymore. Even if it was a SF v EF grand final, you'd be better off playing it at Fremantle Oval. The game would allow a packed venue, incredible atmosphere, and the people who actually love the WAFL and attend it regularly would still get in to watch it. The blow ins would not bother getting a ticket and therefore would stay home & watch it anyway. The game is about ratings as much as it is about the gate. I can only imagine what clubs lose at the gate by playing at Subiaco Oval anyway, the management fee's would suck up most of the $$$ no doubt about it.

Imagine a SD v S grand final at Bassendean? It would resemble the old days for sure and give the pinnacle game an atmosphere something that would be talked about everywhere. And that is what the WAFL needs. What are people talking about today ?? They are talking about how pathetic the crowds was, on TV it looked like nobody was there, and there you have it - a shit canning image once again for the WAFL.

By the way the SANFL grand final had 25,000 plus on the weekend. West Adelaide (Black with a Red Sash) won the flag, their first since 1983. Aligned clubs Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Crows didn't make it. The VFL crowd was as shitty as the WAFL crowd, but that is expected. The SANFL are the only state organisation who genuinely still cares about its competition and history. WA & VIC don't.

My guess is we will be whinging about the same incompetence next year, and the same sea of empty blue seats will make us a bigger laughing stock than we are this year. That is progression, backwards progression, but still progression. What a pack of dick brains running this whole show. No one gives a stuff. Its the same repetitive bullshit each year about this time, and still nothing changes. Maybe next year hey?

Well said Jards !

Don't worry boys the WACA will take over as the WAFL headquarters and GF`s played there in front of a 20k capacity..unless SD and WEP make it then it might have to be shifted to the bigger venue but for GF`s involving $ubi, Clare, EF and the team formally known as East Perth forget it

Overall, a pretty good effort. Full credit to the PFC supporters -- despite their position on the ladder -- they had some of the better showings in the competition.

Really, thats odd because not a single SD game made it into the top 3 viewer wise, your top was 32k one of which was v us. Didnt even manage to get 35k or more. SD did however feature in the equal second lowest viewed games at just 20k ..150k in your bong induced wet dreams maybe fella.
