Sturt are a good team and their strengths are Norwoods strengths (contested footy pressure at the contest to create turnover)

Sturt win this at home

Centrals are much improved in the 2nd half of the season however this weekends result is purely dependant on which Sturt team rocks up this Sunday.

Sturt at their best are better clearance wise, number of effective disposals and tackle wise compared to Centrals. Hence why over a season their win loss and scores for records are better than Centrals. (no diff in scores against)

Sturt come to play they win this easy. However if Sturt go all timid like they did in the last half, last Sunday . Dogs will get the chocolates as they are peaking but their current peak isn’t as good as Sturts best.

Plus Sturt won’t be resting a bloke at half time for next week.
Soon as Sturt decided to flick the switch this game was done despite an almost 2:1 free kick differential to Central favour

Tackles even but as shown all season Sturt +10 in clearances despite key outs.

You can have the best periodised plans in the world but when you use all your tickets making finals once you get there there’s no more you can cash in on
