CENTRAL
Central District has rushed Tom Collier back into its side to face Norwood at Coopers Stadium on Saturday.
Collier, who has been sidelined by a groin strain, has been named on the extended interchange bench but is expected to survive the cut such is the Bulldogs’ need for height.
This need has arisen out of the knee injury suffered by Jacob Templeton, who will miss at least a month after straining his posterior cruciate ligament.

Nice ins, especially Levecki. Hope Forster quickly finds some form in the 2s. We were terrible at the Ponderosa earlier this year- just yucky. I reckon that was our worst game this awkward season but this week against the Dogs will be the beginning of the storming run home. The list is starting to find its way all out onto the park and next game it will only get better. Nwd by 19 points.

Too many back too soon for Norwood. Doggies with more stable side to take the biscuits
Centrals by 10-15 points

[VALE PARK]

Can't understand how Norwood can leave Forster out of the selected team.
The Redlegs just don't seem to have the cattle anymore.
Obvious weaknesses all over the field from defence to attack.
Their alround footy skills are disappointing.
Centrals by 4/5 goals.

Wow good job I didn't go today, just pathetic.
Final 5 is set now

[Douglas Mawson]

Not pathetic at all today. Three and half quarters of really honest tight footy. Endeavour was excellent. Last 10 mins was so disappointing. Missed Jim's "support".

And Gorge will be in strife at the tribunal this week.

Not trolling as my team cannot win a game but how have Norwood supporters seen the pick up of LJ been?

Hard to judge mate, we play such a BS style of footy, especially if you're a key forward. Whilst it wasn't a big tally, a coupla weeks ago he was 4th or 5th on SANFL goalkicking table.

We have much bigger issues than LJ in my opinion - We had them last season and they were obvious to see (although clearly many at the club couldn't see them) and those issues have just gotten worse this year.

May have been good for most of the game but 4 goals in under 10 minutes in at any level is unacceptable

I assume you mean Alex Georgiou?

If so, what will he been in strife for?

There were a few spot fires yesterday, with Nick Holman walking a fine line for the Dogs, at times...

Holman was sensational in the second half, when he stopped worrying about scuffles...

[leggies]

Worst ten minutes of football I've sent from my team for years. Yes, we have had a crap year, we have had a very bad run with injuries and suckling leaving, however, there are obvious issues at the club and that last ten was deplorable.

I think Georgiou was reported for striking Edmead in the first quarter. That's why he was given the second shot on goal.

[Dogwatcher]

Grinding win by the Dogs, despite the party in the last 10 minutes.
Two points and, seemingly, a spot in the five settled.
Now to deal with the Ravens this weekend and build for finals.
