North $1.80

I'm surprised they're even odds.

Big big game though for both sides. Very important with the finals just weeks away.

i think that the doggies will win this quite comfortably. they have a great record at home and underlights and its nearing the time of year that the dogs awken from the winter hibernation in time for the september action

Tough one to pick, but since it's under lights at Hamra Homes Oval, I'll go for the Dogs.

A win to Central and they will likely meet North again in two weeks time. A win to North and it may well see them through to top spot. If North lose, more questions will be asked and I can't see them being a credible premiership contender. North have responded well to the thrashing of a few weeks ago and I'm tipping they'll beat Central and be back to full momentum heading into September.

At least we were on a bit of a roll at Elizabeth with a winning streak of 1.

better than anyone else RoosterMarty, North is the last team to win there.
a Dogs win will be their 15th in a row @ home.

i agree aerie, and i also had tipped north but i think ill go the dogs...

north can set up their finals with a win but a loss and its got pretenders all over it...hmmm

Finally getting down to see a game this week, pity as it's our local clubs granny and we will miss it!
Would be good to meet some of the guys who write on this forum so keep an eye open for a guy wearing one of the Centrals heritage jumpers and enjoy a beer with me and the family

No excuses can be made when we field a side like that one. I can't see anyone missing, for a change. I must admit it is really good to be so pumped about a game before the finals, hasn't happened for a few years now. Looking forward to a cracker game.

North's team:

F M.Campbell Hargraves Walker
HF Gill Alleway Wintle
C Ryswyk Ladhams Bamford
HB Ivens Koops Coulter
B McIntyre Schubert Gatto

Ruck: Hudson Howard Younie
Interchange: O'Hara D.Ebert Edwards Martin Krieg

In:Martin, Edwards

Looks like Hudson will play out the season with North. Massive bonus for North. O'Hara makes a great 2nd Ruck

Yeah time is running out for the Crows to bring in Huddo. He will be a massive boost for us in the finals if he plays.

Didn't O'Hara go to the Roosters to be a #1 Ruckman?

Yes and he was our #1 until we got an AFL-listed player back into our side.

The Dogs will go through the remainder of the season undefeated now...!

Please not let Mrs_Dog_ger read this...!!!

Dog_ger

mate, i think we are going to be extremely hard to beat from here.... it will take a very good footy side to roll us

This will be an absolute cracker and as some people I know who don't usually attend SANFL games found out last week, Elizabeth under lights on a Saturday night is a great place to be.

Tough game to predict a winner/margin, i'd go for Centrals on the basis that they're the home team, 15 points.
