Round 4 Sturt v Central District

[Pseudo]

Dogs a tad unlucky not to pinch that IMO

Sturt had the lion's share of the play in the final term. I rather think Central would've been lucky if they had pinched it.

Loved the retro dogs guernsey. Was there a reason it was worn today?

Our away strip all year, Pseudo. We probably shouldn't use it against Sturt though

Fair comment. The '80s jumper would've made a good away guernsey against each of the other 7 teams.

Don’t know what it was like at the game but on TV the guernsey clash was terrible.

[southernbulldog]

Really good effort against the best team in the competition on their ground.
Wouldve been nice to snatch a win but we werent disgraced

Agreed. Sturt got a couple of lucky ones in the last imho.

Great effort from the dogs. But a hollow feeling not walking away with the 2 points

Agreed. I good idea in theory but didn’t work today

Again led by a great defensive unit. Jezza was the outstanding Doggie, repelling many attacks and setting up plenty of movement, all while keeping Slimming down to 3 ineffective possessions.
Harry Grant had a great first half, and Chisholms battle with Wilson was enthralling.

[Hazydog]

Got closer than I anticipated but as already mentioned, always disappointing to lose the close ones particularly after leading by 3 plus goals early on..
Felt we lacked a bit of leg speed.. perhaps Olsson or Carroll a consideration. Still think Habel is wasted in the ressies also who still has a bit of dash left in the old legs..

I'd probably have Habel or Carroll in for East next week. Habel experience and good ball use. Use to be a goal kicking forward for us early in his career. Team did well, unlucky in the end.

Amazing series of results today.
Sturt won the league by 3 points.
Central won the Ressies by 2 points.
Sturt won the U18 by 3 points.
Central won the U16 by 42 points after losing to Sturt by 80 points last week.

And Central girls won by 1 point!

[northerner]

A sign of the Dogs persistence and desire was they managed to get so close despite a 33 to 46 deficit in Inside 50s.

The reserves proved this is a trait for the entire squad, winning despite an amazing 27 to 49 Inside 50 count against them.

Sure, we have collected some handy inclusions this season, but the mindset and work ethic across the whole playing group is probably the greatest change in 2023.

Any Sturt supporter, what's the story behind the "Riverdance" music after each goal ?

[whufc]

Sounds like the dogs put up a real good peformance.

Things look like they are on the improve for sure.

They're sitting 2nd as well, nine games in.

Early days but also 2nd in the Bs, top in the 18s.

Not much between the teams really. Sturt put in a poor first quarter but, from their perspective, found a way to get a win when a few players struggled to get into the game.
Well done to Centrals players and Thommo for visiting the new function room at Unley and sharing a beer with their opponents. Lots of respect between the two teams.

Agreed.

Marty and Paul were team-mates at the Crows as rookie listed players in 2002.

We were just working on stealing your next lot of fringe league footballers for 2024.
