With a win today in the qualifying final, Central has now earnt the right to face off against Minor Premier, the Eagles, in next weeks 2nd semi final, with a spot in the Grand Final on offer for the winner. Sturt will now face the winner of Glenelg and Port, the Tigers I believe in a knock out 1st semi final. It started out a very windy day at Alberton this morning with probably a very gusty 6 or 7 goal breeze blowing to the city end. Interestingly, the Double Blues won the toss and decided to kick against the breeze to open the game, which in the end would prove costly.

Despite keeping Sturt scoreless for the entire opening term, the Dogs went into the first break with a 6 goal lead, but if not for innacurracy in front of goal, the Dogs should have been in front by a lot more. Daniel Menzel was magnificent for the Dogs all day to be the leading goal scorer on the ground with 4 while Dave Allocca had plenty of opportunity in front of the big sticks, ending up with 3 goals 3. Young Menzel showed a class and skill beyond his age, no doubt proving he will be drafted to the higher level where he will become a very good AFL player.

A lot of interest from this game was on who was and wasn't playing, which of course determined if there were any changes to either team's league side for the Qualifying Final at AAMI Stadium from 3.10pm. Interestingly for Sturt, key defender James McLeay, named on the extended interchange bench, played in this reserves game, whilst Charlie Sharplesm not even named in the initial squad, but listed in the reserves, was a no-show in this contest meaning he is likely to be in the league side tomorrow, but at the expense of who is the question.

With a fair bit of doubt on Chambers, it is possible with these late changes that the Ken Farmer medallist will not play forcing a reshuffle to the Sturt line-up with perhaps Thurstans to line up at full forward. For Central, Ben Nason DID NOT play meaning he is either going to be left on standby for tomorrow's league game with doubts on Slade and Callinan or he is injured himself. I guess for all the doubts on both side's line up, time will tell about 3pm tomorrow afternoon.

Go the Baby bloods

I'd always thought that West was going to win against Central in the 18s, had the Eagles made the finals we would have gotten close to West or even beat West going on the last couple games between the 2 teams.

[redandblack]

ME, you wouldn't have got close. Last time we played you, we had Under 15's playing, as most of the better players were in our Reserves.

We beat Centrals by 12 goals yesterday.

All the college lads were available this week obviously.
I thought Port 18s were all League players?
What are Sturt 18s then if their League sides still playing?

So were we if I am not mistaken.
