Centrals by 6 goals

Trent Goodrem to play his 200th.

Great effort. Congratulations on attaining SANFL life membership.

An endangered species is the 200 game player.
Congrats, Trent.

The Eagles beat Central by 27 points and West by 34 points. Therefore does that make it Central by 7 points
or
Central beat North by 61 points and North beat West by 138 points. Does that make it Central by 199 points.

After seeing these two teams over the past two weeks I do expect Central to win by 10 goals but West obviously have to show something this week.

Yes, definitely a collector's item in the current SANFL environment. Great to see.

Surely if Porplyzia is fit enough for the Reserves you’d want him in the League squad, with so many key players out with injury and coming off the pasting they got last week.

It would take a miracle for West to win this but you never know.

I’ll go Centrals by 35-40 points.

Porpylzia hasn't played a game of league footy since mid 2016.
He is only playing a half this week.
An even weaker West team on paper than last week.
Could be another absolute smashing!!!!
Hopefully it rains......,

He's not fit enough, that's why he's playing reserves.

Line 66.5

It dont get much bigger than that!

Wow. Tempting to put some on Westies just for shits and giggles.

They should have a "if West holds the lead at any time after the 15-minute mark of the first quarter we'll pay you out" bet.

At those odds, they'd get some takers.


Let's be clear, though, I'm not commenting on my confidence about the W for Centrals - anything can happen - but the bookies' odds.

66.5 .....they have that covered by half time
