Central District 2014

[Wedgie]

Have been on the slide in recent years getting knocked out of finals in consecutive years by North. Lost some quality players too, will need some junior talent to step up. Reasonably good draw with lots of Saturday and home games early on despite playing 2 good teams first up. Wouldn't surprise me to see them drop out of the 5 in 2014.

My main thought is that you are an idiot to write such rubbish.

To miss the finals would mean finishing below the basket cases of the SANFL and I think that is highly unlikely.

Centrals have recruited well, made hard calls on players that have been letting them down and look very strong in 2014.

Fri June 27 Norwood v Central - Coopers Stadium

so when the Norwood supporters act like they do at every game at Norwood. As wankers, it will be centrals supporters causing all the problems. Cause it wouldn't be people from the upper class

I'm an idiot for saying I wouldn't be surprised if a team came 6th after coming 5th last year and 4th the year before and losing some damn good players as well as showing the ins/outs and trial game and league fixture for 2014?
Fair enough

[SANFLnut]

Hard to see a nett recruiting gain for Centrals.

Ohara = Retzlaff on a good year
Boyd better than Mcintyre
Guilhaus better than Mabon
Not sure on Templton & Callinan vs Wittwer & Wagner
Or Colquhoun & Martin v Hoskin
Is Hardy Also an out from 2013 ?

Am I wrong?

Not a clear win for mine.

Guilhaus, Boyd, Ohara very high in club B & F.

Nothing idiotic about it at all ... for mine, Central is more likely to miss the finals than make it. The golden era is well and truly goneski.

Time to recruit one Christopher Maurice Pyne then. Could scrub up okay in our hoops.

Lol ok mate

Missing Gilbee as an in for the Dogs I think Wedgie

[UK Fan]

If dogs make the finals this year then there Is something seriously wrong with some SANFL clubs.

Dogs will miss finals for the first time since 1999.

[Sanflfirst]

Interesting reading. Would've thought that a more accurate discription of the losses and gains would be;
Guilhuas replaced by Olssen
Dowdell/Osborn replaced by Mabon/Milne
O'Hara replaced by Gillbee
Boyd replaced by McIntyre
Templeton replaced by Stephenson
Hardy replaced by Wagner
Obst replaced by Retzlaff
Hoskin a very good addition to the squad. 5 recruits with AFL experience. Throw in T Schiller, C Edmead, M White, B Cummings, J Vater, J Wittwer and the squad doesn't look to bad.

[SANFLnut]

Was just going by what was listed above. Who are Olssen and Stephenson?

Jacob Olssen and Murray Stephenson were both recruited from the Riverina. Olssen is a 198cm ruck man/CPP player and Stephenson a 193cm backman.

Central a team that has been rebuilding for the last two years and still makes the finals is a pretty good effort it really says a lot about the other clubs i reckon.

With all these new recruits i am hoping we will do a lot better this year time will tell.

[Panther Pack]

Rebuilding for 2 years is not a bad effort but try rebuilding for 50 years that takes some effort!!!!!!
