Centrals v South

[scott]

In the reserves, South ruckman Steffe had 76 hit outs, the entire Dogs team had 22. Massive effort

He is 7 feet tall that kid!!

Did he do anything else? Always looks like he lacks coordination when he plays, hopefully he is getting better as his height is a definite advantage.

Doesn't look like much else, three possessions

When you have the ball on a string at the stoppages who cares how many possessions he registered.....his midfield probably ran away with it before he could get a touch

Watched the reserves game footage, he may as well not even had a disposal as a lot of his ruckwork was brilliant - put it consistantly at the feet of Heaslip, Taylor and (in the first qtr) Redigolo. He was just too tall for Harvey.

Lowest Crowds since 1991:
1055 - South v Eagles, Noarlunga, Rd 8, 2002

Anyone saying that 'the weather' is to blame for low attendances this year...'the weather' hasn't a patch on this day.

The one in 2005 was pretty terrible as well.

How far is Taylor off a league spot in your opinion? Finished last season very well I thought. He and Redigolo might be fighting for the same spot across half back/back pocket. Haven't watched any ressies footy this year (apart from the interlopers)

It was. Rain for most of the day but not as windy or cold

He's exceptionally close. Wouldn't be surprised if he plays league this week. Had 26 disposals and 12 clearances against Centrals last week and has been collecting good numbers all season. It's a great sign that we have this sort of depth now. It's one thing to have the league performing well, but to have the reserves hopefully start stringing some wins together and the underage kids performing well, it'll set the club up for the next 10 years. Our talent coming through the under 16s is great - sitting third with a couple of rounds to play and a genuine chance of making the final. Under 18s are unfortunately struggling again.

Planning for 10 years ahead is almost impossible as you can't determine the effect the draft has on the junior squads, unfortunately.
