Not sure what all the hype was about the dogs this season. They are average

It's 10 minutes into the season.

Radio stream worked for me on Android but couldn't get it to work on an iphone...lucky no one has one of those!

When I did get to listen commentators knew none of the players.... "And the North player kicks long and the players kicks a goal for North"....FFS...

I'll challenge you on that statement, Paul.

I pride myself of player recognition and don't recall getting too many wrong or doubting myself today.

At this stage, as far as I know, it will be broadcast on the Digital Pass and SANFL Radio, yes.

The app wasn't working again yesterday. Running it through the website worked.

Marks says "the player" "a player" far, far too often.

Yep, many of the commentators are guilty of the same.

The Digitalpass worked perfectly yesterday and Big Phil's call of the Legs v Cows was excellent.

Big Phil knows his players better than most, does a great job.

Thanks guys, appreciate that.

The number one thing I always take pride in, and work diligently on, is my player identification.

It was a great game of footy to call JK and I enjoyed working with Michael Maney for the first time in a while.

Looks like the issue with the SANFL Radio App cutting out when your phone goes into sleep mode has been fixed up.

This is floating around on social media...

Thanks, BP.
Did you end up watching the last quarter of the Westies game somewhere?

Yeah mate.

After I saw you up in the Cricket Club, PhilH and I went over to the downstairs bar in the Eagles club.

There was cheering and shouting for the Bloods and plenty of Uuuuu Doogggss when the final siren went.

How very positive of you.

The Sebatron giving the SANFL another crack, signing soon with the Wiggles.

Where has he been playing? Be 30 now wouldnt he?
Darwin

So hasnt been playing in our winter?

Yes, he 's played country footy here in the winter and then with Nightcliff in the NTFL in the last few summers.

I know that he played with the Penola FC this season just gone, coming runner up in their Best and Fairest

And I reckon he had a year back playing with Toby Stribling at Kaniva Leeor United prior to that as well.

He has had more clubs than Greg Norman, the Big Sebatron, with a fourth stint in the SANFL now.

Central Districts have secured the services of ex VFL and Colac midfielder Brody Mahoney.

Women's Grand Final about to kick off with the Panthers taking on the Redlegs.

I'll post scores throughout the course of the game.

South kick the first goal of the game through Ann Hatchard.

5:00 into 2nd term

South - 1.3 (9)

Norwood 0.0 (0)

After being told by the Dogs (for the second time) he is not required, Ben Nason has signed with the Eagles.

This will be his fourth SANFL club, starting at Port, then to Central, Glenelg and now Woodville West Torrens.

One of the nicest guys you could meet and just wants to play footy at the highest level. Will be a good coach.

Dogs officially announce the signature of Tasmanian ruckman Tim Auckland

Brodlach wrote:Zac Milbank suggesting that Boyd will be at another SANFL club

Any chance coming back to Dogs.

Yep, a few suggestions he might be,

we now have a lady on the board, a voice for the female footy players
The Central District Football Club has had a female on the board for the past 3 years - Tanya Rowland - who stepped down this year.

Bridey Lewis has also been on the board as Women's Football Director for a couple of seasons, now.

Natalie Seaman is the newly appointed female board member, voted in along with Graham Stopp, at the recent AGM.

The Dogs have signed former Box Hill Hawks top up player Jai Nanscawen.

Looks to be a young, quick goal kicking midfielder who played TAC Cup with the Dandenong Stingrays.

Surprised Dallas Hill is having a crack at SANFL level again.

His form up here in the North Eastern League with North Clare was only average with a few moments of brilliance. His work effort and attitude seemed to have questions marks over it like it did during his days at Centrals.

Would love to see him be a success but it is going to require significant change.

Dallas Hill is an extremely talented, agile big man...

He had a pretty good start to the year with the Dogs at FF back in 2016, finishing with 18 goals from about 8-10 games...

Then he had some personal issues to deal with, went away and played some local country footy with mates...

Now joined the police force and is in a good physical shape and mentally ready to have another serious crack at SANFL after a brief stint as a Maggies top up player the year before last, as well and previously a junior Eagles player...

I wouldn't be surprised if he turns a few heads and goes okay...

Give it time...

There are a few the club has been in contact with...

Here's hoping, apart from the Menzel brothers it's been slim pickings over the past few years having missed out on the likes of Jack Hannath and Sam Colquhoun returning too!
Jack Hannath returned to Central, post his time in the AFL at Fremantle.

He then left the club as he felt he wasn't getting enough opportunity in the senior team.

Went and played in the NEAFL with the NT Thunder and then when they disbanded, he chose to come back to Glenelg.

Who was the last AFL listed player the club has picked up...……………………….maybe Holman, Potter. Both of them turned out pretty decent.
Seems the club has gone away from that strategy in recent times or I could just be forgetting a few.
John Butcher in 2017, Elliot Kavanagh in 2016 and Bryce Retzlaff in 2014.

I know it was earlier than that (2012 maybe?) But how many seasons did Collier stick around for?
Tom Collier was at the Dogs for 5 seasons.

Started in 2012 and finished at the end of 2017.

Was an underrated player, IMHO, playing a state game for SA as well.

They bring in nothing crowd wise. But do bring TV exposure.

I keep saying they need quality media people. It sounds absolute garbish on DP for starters. Tell me they dont pay these blokes ?
Get professional . I wait the whole " be thankful what you get" comments.

Who would you recommend, then?

Get professional, you say? Professionals are doing the AFL and if you don't want them paid, they're not going to do it for nothing.

Constantly barking up the same tree with your Digital Pass criticism :roll:

Riley Knight is a returning junior, surely even biased SANFL supporters like to see that occurring :roll:
no, We tried desperately to recruit him.
Dogs almost got him over the line with the current job at Trinity College, that would have been Dan Menzel's if not for his current legal proceedings.

Woodville West Torrens young premiership star Lachlan Jones is an OUT for the Eagles and an IN for Port Adelaide and when not playing AFL footy will be an IN for the Magpies in the SANFL competition.

Like any other player in the same position. Why the capitals of OUT and IN. Btw you aint providing scoops lol

Yes, you are right. I like to use capitals for emphasis.

Like for example, EVERYONE on here thinks you are an OUT and OUT troll and complete PEST poster.

Life mustn't bring you much satisfaction based on the level of PETTINESS you post at on here.

South Adelaide's Brayden Cook will no longer be a Panther and when not playing at the highest level, will be an inclusion in the Adelaide Crows SANFL side.

Brett wrote:Such a typical response

Okay Brett, no worries mate.

If you say so.

Central District will lose Corey Durdin as he has been picked up by the Carlton Football Club.




Oh great. I'm so happy that Centrals have lost another player and also so proud that we had a player drafted to the AFL. :roll:



in case you didn't realise I'm being sarcastic.

I wouldn't expect anything less from you, mate.

Well done on receiving your 10 year service certificate from the CDFC BP!

Cheers mate, much appreciated.

Time flies when you do something you love.

I have been "hanging around" the club, going to training most nights after school since the early 90's, and then "helping out" is some capacity since about pre-season of 1996 when I befriended the son of then Dogs coach Stevie Wright.

It's not until you get the opportunity to sit back and reflect on how long I've been out there and realise that the club has been like a second home for near on 30 years.

It is sad to see the decline of the competition and the struggles that clubs have had over the journey, but certainly makes you even more appreciative of the success that you get to be a part of.

SANFL clubs form such an indelible part of the community and individuals alike. It really saddens me that my little 2 year old lad probably wont have the same passion and standard of competition to follow in 30 years time.

But, it is what it is and these are the times we live in.

Not sure if it has been mentioned already, but former AFL and West Adelaide listed player Gibson Turner is training with Glenelg.

UK Fan wrote:Connor Mclean staying with cdfc ??

Named for Kapunda tomorrow

Heard he was taking "a few weeks off from SANFL" to decide what he wants to do.

Justin Hoskin has copped a 4 game ban, reduced down to 3 weeks with an early guilty plea, for striking Eagles youngster Zane Williams.

Come Round 14 when he is due back, he would have spent 5 of the last 7 weeks suspended, not including the Dogs mid-season bye.

Is arguably Central's best player but he is without doubt their most undisciplined as well. Needs to reign in his frustrations.

And the Eagles were the hands down best recruiters in the off-season.
Umm, Durdin, Pink, Hosie, Turner, Landt?

0hhhh, Newman?
How good has he been?
Hands down the second best recruiters in the off season, the ladder reflects this ;)

It's funny isn't it. This is a subjective thing, but based on names and resumes, back in the pre-season, I'd say the Eagles.

Looking at the output of the Bays recruits, it has been some of the lesser known recruits that have help propel the Bays to the top.

I guess I should have corrected my comment by suggesting the Eagles picked up more 'name' players than the Bays.

At this point, the Tigers are on top, on more than one level. Newman, Brandt and Turner, in particular, have been fantastic.

FWIW Centrals reserves 42 to WA 16 at 1/2 time. Good to see 2 of the lesser teams this year at least playing off in a finals series. WA also in U18 prelim. Handy Dogs side on paper, I’m assuming some of these blokes are coming back from injury as they surely are better then some of the crabs in the league side
It's the same group of players in the Ressies that don't take their chances at League level when given to them.

Likely upcoming SANFL recruitment announcements:

Norwood-
Chris Jansen (Port Melbourne)
Jay Rantall (Collingwood)
Ben Kelly (Central District)
Jackson Kelly (Central District)

Kelly boys live in Norwood and the Redlegs KOTN'd on to them wanting to play more League footy.

For Bay fans: any idea how many listed AFL players were you playing against on Saturday?
I got told 19, I never bothered to check.

The Magpies had the below 9 x SANFL contracted players in their 22, so that leaves 13 x AFL listed players.

Cam Sutcliffe
Luke Surman
Trent Burgoyne
Nick Moore
Campbell Wildman
Anthony Wilson
Jackson Lee
Thomas Corcoran
Jake Weidemann

So no top ups from the ammo’s?

All of the above, except Sutcliffe are "top ups from the ammos" that have been regularly playing League footy due to Port's heavy club injury toll.

Tom graham come home and stop playing reserves at Norwood . I’m sure Dad wouldn’t be happy with that

Tom Graham wasn't able to take his League opportunities at the Dogs, bar one good game against the Eagles.

He is just averaging a tick over 12 disposals in the Legs' reserves at this point season to date.

Dad's connection with Jade Rawlings was what got him to Norwood in the first place.
