When was last time we had draw in GF?

Is there a replay if we did happen to have a draw?

[PhilH]

Yes if the league GF is a draw, there will be a replay Sun Oct 11th @ AAMI Stadium.

Hi Phil, have you got any stats for 1st year coaches winning flags, I know Sticks did it in 02

[whufc]

So did Roy Laird and Alistar Clarkson

[CUTTERMAN]

must be a new millenium thing

I could have coached Centrals to a flag this decade... geez Torrens were handing out those cups!

Would Stephen Williams in '96 count?

[Adelaide Hawk]

Some 1st year coaches I can think of since the war to win a flag.

Neil Kerley won with West in his 1st year, 1961
Alastair Clarkson 2001, Roy Laird 2003 with Central.
Geof Motley with Port in 1959
Bruce Winter 1993 with the Eagles.

UUUUUUU Dogs by 14 points.

(Ramblings of a passionate Dogs supporter the day before the 2009 GF)
In self analytical mode; I find myself caught between just wanting Centrals to smash the Blues, obviously because winning is the most important outcome but I would heaps like to see a close nailbiter winning GF which I havent seen with a Centrals side.
I am even thinking that the nailbiter option wins AS LONG as the DOGS prevail.
Funny, other years I have just had the heart pounds in the week leading up ( I still have) but in other years I just wanted to win and did not even care about a margin one iota. Must be those last two finals games giving me a strange taste for it.
A Very scary scenario, I think I will change my mind on preference during the game if it does unfold that way though.
I still havent got my voice back from the Sturt qualifying final yet -courtesy of a cold caught on the Monday after and a ultra close 2nd semi a week later!
Whatever happens it will probably be a worse excuse for a voice next week... all good as long as it is worth it.... C'MON UUUU Dogs!

[Dog_ger]

Sturt 61+ 3% [ 3 ] x

The Double Blues are by far the "BEST TEAM"

[Cambridge Clarrie]

Sturt by 1 or more will prove they're the "BEST TEAM"...

[Thiele]

Good Luck to supporters of Both teams may the best team

I'm no sturt fan but go you blues - just for something different
