It's may guys....

We play our best in October.

B-B-Q southern end of West Lakes Mall.

It's a tradition. Been doing it for near on 10 years now.

Executive Master Chef Marty flies in to cook special.

To taste his cooking is a special treat.

Obviously Nash and Jenner are certain outs for the Dogs, Jenner with his back injury, Nash confirmed as the Power travelling emergency, but you can add Andrew Hayes as IN as well.

The Crows have named a 25 man squad that needs to be trimmed by 3 obviously, I wouldn't be surprised if Griffin plays for Adelaide, meaning Cameron Milne will come in for him, while I would think Chris Gowans comes in for Jenner.

Surprised that Brad Symes comes straight into the league side having not played any football for close to 12 months, but then again, neither has Chris Gowans and also good to see Andrew Hayes back for the Doggies in defence.

I think Central will still keep Gunston as I reckon he will be one of the players to drop out of the Crows squad and if he does play SANFL, it will be interesting to see how he works alongside his Crows team mate Ricky Henderson.

I would think Corey Reichert and young Josh "Darth" Vater will drop out of the extended squad but Josh has been playing some good footy in the reserves, played some league trials and I would think will make his league debut some time this year.

Grenville Dietrich never got dropped for late nights or rides home in pizza delivery cars.

He did at North!

Gunston playing for the Crows helps the Eagles this weekend..
Dropping Miles for Guilhaus doesnt sit well with me at all. Im a big Miles fan, and on the contrary, im not a big Guilhaus fan.. I wouldve played Miles as second ruck to Parry, and rested him up forward.. But there must be some method to the madness, and I think the lack of match ups for Miles ouside of his ruck position may be one of them..
Still cant see the Eagles winning this one, although we will give it a red hot crack, I think Centrals will just have enough out at the Ponderosa..
We will be with them until probably the 10 minute mark of the last qtr, then they will kick away in junk time..

I sincerely hope im wrong, but its Centrals by 27 for mine..

So will Jonathan Griffen replace Cameron Milne in the selected squad now.

If Griffen is not playing with the Crows then Milne would definatly be the player to be dropped you would think. Very happy if Griffen is playing for the Dogs.

Last 3 or 4 games at Elizabeth have all been decided by less than 3 goals I think...all in the dogs favour sadly! Well done to Chris Gowans on 200 games, considering the rivalry that has developed over the last decade between the 2 sides probably fitting that he plays the big one against the Eags...having said that hope we spoil his party...Eags by 3 points!

[Big Phil]

confirmation that jack Gunston is making his AFL debut for the Crows on Sunday. Good luck to 'Norman' in his first game...

Because Adelaide's is a Sunday game, will the Crows hold Jon Griffin back from playing for Central being that he is first named emergency ?

That being said, Will Young is also on the emergency list and he is of course linked with Norwood who have the bye so he may end up being the late change if there is one.

A small piece on Brad Symes playing his first game of football this year, of course with the Doggies:

While it's not beyond us to win this one, I suspect it's kind of like talking about who will win the flag from a certain 8 clubs point of view. You can make a case for your team, but deep down you know the inevitable.

[CENTURION]

In my opinion, this is probably THE most important game of the minor round for Centrals. Win & We are a long way in front on the Premiership table, lose & We are back in the pack. With the disruptions to The side due to injuries so far this year, it makes winning even more important. This is a golden opportunity, let's not waste it.

Actually that is very well put Centurion .But not just for Centrals but for the Eagles as well.
With the up and down season by most clubs. This match could turn into a crucial turning point for either team.
