Centrals start the season at home with many new players, a new coach and most importantly a new jumper sponsor,

Centrals look a very different side to last year. Perhaps the new coach is watching the game instead of a computer.

North have had a very quiet time and have recruited the least opting to go with their squad from last year plus the former juniors who are getting a chance.

I think North will be looking for a top 3 finish this year and I expect them to win here by 4 goals.

Hyundais by 1 point.

norf by 50pts

Centrals have been a mixed bag in the off season.

On paper I don't believe they have recruited as well as other clubs but showed a fair bit of promise in the first two trial game. The final trial game though was as far from a great result as you can get but it is just a trial game and they don't often reflect the season.

For mine I hope we put in a good four quarter effort even if that means we go down by a goal. What I would hate to see other than the obvious capitulation is that we only play 3 quarters and have the one shocker that costs us. The one bad quarter effort game has hindered us for 5 years now, to see that straight off the bat with Thommo would be very disheartening. A four quarter effort win or lose would be a real encouraging sign imo.

Apparently North have picked up another player from Crystal Brook this year whose a bit of a gun in the same mold of the Coombes boys.

Over the years North have a habit of getting belted by Centrals in Round 1, think this will be a close one with the Doggies home by 3 points

Going to be tough for us this week against a very good side.Hopefully we have a real crack but as mentioned earlier we cant afford to drop out of games like we have in the past otherwise we will get beaten easily .

Cocks by 43pts.

North by 3 goals

The first game of a new SANFL season.

Dogs in an upset.

Dogs will be more than competitive for 3 quarters.

Need the usuals Hosko Schiller’s Boyd Fort to have big games if we are any chance.

CENTRAL

Central fans will get their first look at forward line recruits Aiden Grace and Tom Graham against North.

The pair have been named across half-forward with the Bulldogs, with another three players potentially to debut against the Roosters.

Former Glenelg defender Dylan Morton will play as a key backman while hard-running midfielder Harry Grant is expected to find plenty of the ball when he’s injected into the game.

Local product Rhys Cannizzaro (19, 188cm and 90kg) could also make his debut after progressing through the ranks at Nuriootpa.

The cocks to go on a rampage... 64 pts.

North could be in trouble, according to that quality journalism our debutants are lining up against the Tigers. The rest of the team that's facing the Bulldogs might miss those two players.

Wedgie.

Groucho insisted that they changed from the Bulldogs to the Tigers due to the sponsorship on the guernsey.

The Tigers are now happy and

Cut and Paste. Thank God I've never fecked up,

Great to see Lochie Wilsdon have a crack.

Very talented sportsmen and gave up cricket this year to concerntrate on being in Adelaide and getting himself as fit as possible.

Yeah mate, I know. I wasn't having a go at you, I was having a go at the journo that wrote it.

I appreciate you pasting them on the match threads.

Zak Milbank who is how I copy them from in the SANFL website. He is a terrific supporter of the SANFL. And an employee,,,,

WTF. I said we changed from Bulldogs to Hyundais not Tigers.

Purchased the digital pass and will watch on TV today despite having season passes as I've woken up with flu like symptons and will do the right thing.
Ironic avoiding Elizabeth in fear of carrying a disease there, normally its the opposite.
