Top 4 stands out like dogs/eagles/magpies/cocks balls

They have the best marking full forward in the comp and the best centre half forward.

Best centre half forward? All due respect to Cowans but you would have to agree that Gill might have a fair claim to that mantle.

Cowans is a good honest player, but i dont think hes that good.

I would definately vote for Nick Gill over Cowan.

I guess it depends on who you support. For me Cowan is a proven performer in a GF. Gill still has to prove that he can perform at the business end of the season.

Each to their own. Just because Cowan has played in premierships doesn't make him a better player though.

On the surface Gill has the greater talent. However doggies4eva makes a valid couple of points. I would aslo add that Cowan has played state football and is a more accurate kick on goal.

Wayne Carey wasn't labelled abetter Centre half forward than Kernahan after a season and a third of football.

Anyway who really gives a roosters ball bag. The original point was that Centrals have a very strong side and toi keep everyone happy I will rephrase and say the dogs have as good full forward and centre half forward as any.

Have to disagree.

Port and the Roosters to finish 1-2.

Anyone of five other clubs i.e. Glenelg, Eagles, Norwood, South and the Bulldogs can occupy the other 3 positions in the 5.

Sturt won't make the 5, however, as in other years from other teams will influence who actually makes the 5.

Our next 3 games against Glenelg, Central and Norwood are crucial to our opposition.

BEWARE A Wounded Double Blue Team.

Another Sturt supporter talking lots of sense

Well done SP

Just starting to take shape after Glenelg showed what I have been saying all along yesterday.

3 horse race for 5th spot between Glen Sth and nwd.

Woodville eags are stil a top 4 side and part of the dogs bals tho

If anyone saw the doggies match on Saturday they might have seen what I have been saying about Cowan. He was a match winner after we played ordinary in the first half.

What did Gill do?

I ws just asking as I saw the doggies game but not the Norf one. He may have played well for all I know. I'm not saying Gill isn't a good player I just think that you have to play consistently all season and then step up for the finals to be regarded as a great player.

[Punk Rooster]

It was Gill's 1st game back after a neck injury- he hasn't been right/played since the Glenelg game (4-5 weeks ago).

Sadly Dash if the performance the Legs put in on Saturday was anything to go by, you would remove us from that list of possibles .. Was a spoon-worthy effort reminiscent of 2004 .. I guess this weeks game against the Bays should make things clearer

You could also add that Mckenzie or Frewen shut him down ,can not be sure who started on him as Frewen was on the bench at the start of the game and Mckenzie was moved onto the ball in the last quarter.

I thought it before the season and from what ive seen these are the best 4 teams in the comp comfortably with the Eagles the only non premiership threat.

I reckon South have the cattle to be 5th but I think Norwood will snare it just ahead of the bays who have very similar quality cattle to Norwood if not slightly better.

Thoughts?

Just thought id blow my own trumpet as to the accuracy of the title of this post.

Eagles not being a premiership threat appears incorrect and I take back my thoughts that Norwood will finish 5th. I reckon South will. All yesterdays loss does is keep bays fans hopes up and set em up for agony.
