At least we didn't draw this week.

We used to be able to manage 9 goals a game, seems like 5 is the number now.

One good thing was that most of our kicks hit the player right on the chest, providing they were wearing a SA jumper. WTF. :roll:

Apart from Boyd who is the ONLY player in the side who can use the ball with hand or foot there are to many whose skills simply arent good enough for league level .All we have heard is that we would play a style that was hard to score against and be exciting going forward unfortunately nothing has changed still playing the same rubbish with NO ONE AHEAD OF CENTRE .What is the point of having Butch in the side if we play him ruck and dont give him a chance to at least compete . Totally frustrating watching that little wonder supporters are getting fed up watching that.

South were too big, too clinical, too good. Our gamestyle seems to be stem the bleeding from the start. The $6.50 Guinness pints at the club have helped to dull the pain. Kudos to the bloke at the beer van who remembered my order from last season. That is all.

Not the best spectacle at times, but a strong second half from the visitors. The best named by the club were J. Haines, M. Broadbent, J. Kappler, C. McGree, T. Highmore, B. Heaslip.

Although they dont get a heap of the footy, the mosquito fleet up forward of Fitt (kicked a beauty in the second term), Wilkinson and McCreery seems to be working well.

Moved the ball with intent but didn't always capitalise on our forward entries until the final 20 minutes. Speaking of forward entries the Doggies only had 13 inside 50s to 3/4 time. They were a long way off the pace today.

Continues South's positive record at the venue since 2014.

The margin flattered us shouldve lost by 10 goals we were pitiful .

For South.

Whittlesea was dropped and did nothing much in the reserves.

Karpany did not play.

Schwarz was the one out. Rolled an ankle on Thursday.

Bieman Hoey and perhaps Sawford to resume in the reserves this week .

Tucker rolled an ankle and I would think perhaps 1 week. Looked OK.

I've got two teams, Centrals and the Crows.
Both of them are winless and both scored 5 goals 4 in an entire game of football.
Neither of them look like winning a game this season. Can both of them get any worse? :evil: :twisted:

Your right Groucho unless we show dramatic improvement in the way we play especially our appalling skills
apart from Boydy who is the ONLY player that knows how to use the ball cant see us winning to many games

to be fair, we din't have both Schillers, Hoskin & D. Menzel, also we are a bit short and with McLean & Big Robinson due back, that will make things a lot better

Seems to be the same problem every season for a while now with too many injuries.
We are playing catch up again, and in a shortened season .
It will be too difficult unless we have our best possible side next game.

i re-watched the game and counted 24 times Central kicked the ball straight to South Adelaide, 19 of these were chest marks or in the hands. 5 were ground balls.
There were only 9 instances I counted SA kicking the ball to Centrals.

We aren't any good at the chipping short kicks or back and forward across the ground and across goals. It usually results in a turnover. If we're going to turn it over we may as well kick long out of the 50 metre arc and if it turns over at least the opposition have to work to bring it back in.

Also scoring 5 goals a game would be good if we were playing soccer, but we're not we are playing Australian Rules Football. We need to score 15+ goals and maybe we will win more than we lose.

This"game plan" or style doesn't work. Let's try something else.

I've always been a big fan of Luke Habel but his disposal and decision making is poor.
Surely someone else needs to kick the footy in.

The Club has SIX proven elite players at SANFL level on their 2020 list...… only two (Boyd and Troy Menzel) played this week. The rest of Saturday's side was made of useful role playing vets and a bunch of youngsters; some clearly have what it takes but lack consistency, and others are yet to prove themselves at this level.
And whilst they are finding their feet, they are reticent to take the game on, to run hard with the ball, and to look down the ground for dangerous options.
I have faith in the coaching group; they will unearth some gems this year, a season which is clearly about rebuilding.

I saw little bits of your game on Saturday. and perhaps coming from the perspective of where my own club sits, I thought your mob - Whilst they're in a faze of trying to work up to being a legitimate contender as opposed to already being in that bracket - You couldn't fault their application and committment to the body and contested situations, which is in direct contrast to my own mob who's senior players should rightly be questioned about their committment on the field.

I guess that's my point. We only had two 'stars" in our line up; most of those who played would not be known outside those of us with invested interest in the up-and-coming Juniors. I share your view that Norwood's results are more alarming as they have a star-filled midfield and were GF aspirants just 3 weeks ago.
Still, I would think the Legs might yet turn it around, where as we have the (re)building construction signs up!

Yes, good point. I can't fault their endeavour or commitment.

On Saturday Centrals kicked directly to South players 24 times during the game and 19 of those hit the player directly on the chest. I don't know how many goals resulted from this, but even Troy Menzel's fabulous "mark of the year" eventually ended in a turnover and goal to South, not Troy's fault as his pass was perfect.

As well as being a boring terrible game style to watch it is also very frustrating.

Just on T Menzel, he reads the play and intercept marks very well.
He’ll love playing against us.

Disappointing application especially after the great effort against the bloods last week.

You would of thought the DOGS would of carried on but they gave up with out a YELP.

Yes i know we had a few outs but that is no excuse NO fight in the young DOGS.

Boydy and Menzel what guns we need a few more players of their calibre .

Crowd they say was 1,000 to me it looked like less than 500 is some one lying or are my eyes FAAARKED.
SANFL 2000 - 2011 Central District 12 consecutive Grand Final appearances and 9 Premierships.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFF.

Hit em hard let them get up and hit em again.

There were 80 in the breakfast and almost 200 inside the club at halftime.

I'd be stunned if it wasn't 700+.
