Great signing.

11 recruits with plenty more to come.

The Central District Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of key position player, Will Splann.

Will 19, is a 195cm versatile key position who can play forward or back, who spent the 2022 season playing for North Hobart in the Tasmania State League and Tasmania Devils in the NAB League. Across both competitions Will played 19 games kicking a total of 44 goals.

When playing forward, Splann is clever inside 50, can find space to lead into, and clunk marks with his clean hands and is a reliable set shot.

We are excited to watch Will continue to hone in on his craft and show supporters what he is capable of.

Louis McLennan is highly rated along with Pearce and Splanns.

As WHUFC stated even if only half of above work out we have improved our squad significantly imho

Let it ride

I still can’t believe supporters/people involved with the club had their heads buried in the sand and let this continue for so long.

Thankfully It’s taken the new management not long to bust the myth. Initially those involved thought it was going to take sometime to repair the previous broken connections/networks.

Nothing wrong with Kris Grant who we love but he needed more help. But at the time we seemed to be fixated on saving $$$$ than finding solutions.

And the recruiting will get better next year and so on….



I think we have a good coach, good football manager and the squad has improved a lot.

Bring on season 2023 and whatever it holds. It feels like the journey to the clubs next premiership has finally taken a major leap in the right direction.

After his spring carnival tips Pirate can go where he wants

Merry Xmas Vam . I’m travelling thru China atm and boy are the locals shattered Port don’t play here anymore

VIC 3/75 at lunch

Agar bowls Dean on the last ball before lunch

I still have a bit of PTSD floating around from circa 2000-2005, but a strong Central adds another element to the comp. Plus, we're on a Merve Hughes style hatrick. I'd like to see that happen.

The Gowans Ends would be appropriate. Was there any others that played in all 9 premierships of that (unbelievable) era?

Doggies squad for the first trial

Plenty of new faces as you’d imagine

Chisholm Liddy Larkin Carroll J.McLennan M.Lochowiak Munn and Little named in the league

Spaan L.McLennan McGrath Pickering Hall named in the reserves.

Good to see Barreau and Linke back from injury.

Lange was runner at the trial saturday

So his injury cant be to bad

Eagles by 46

Zane Williams in his return game kicked 4 for the Eagles

Well played Crows.

EAD Port. 3 premierships in 5 years or something wasn’t it ??

Port remind me of that Chinese proverb: A strong steed can not be raised in shit.

Best on ground was the mobile beer serving guy.

Great idea and dead set legend

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

I apologise if this isn't the correct place to post this , but i just wanted to say the Jeremy Finlayson's wife being cleared of cancer is the best story of the year.

So happy for all involved.

What a credit Finlayson has been to the club in his short time at Alberton.

Doggies to keep legs winless streak going.


Hopefully!!!!!

Dogs 8.8(56)
Legs 7.9(51)

Take the two points and move on.

We were awful.

No conspiracy re: the umpiring yesterday.

I cant talk for other port games obviously.

But yesterday I thought Centrals were more disciplined with its tackling. Port seemed to consistently give away a lot of over the shoulder free kicks thru out the day.



Incidentally Port and Crows have the most free kicks against in the AFl as well.

Damn those victorians!!!! :lol:

UUUDOOGSSS!!!

Shelby Smith is a Star ⭐️

Port fans are nothing to worry about, a quick chant of '20 years and you've won **** all" seems to help smooth over any differences imho.

Good performance from the dogs.

Defence is rock solid atm. Midfield is battling and working together well week in week out.


Forward line is the area of improvement.

Aiden grace who is working his aR%e off atm has kicked 10.15 this year and hasnt converted many set shots. he is a natural forward and if he can fix his set shot ratio.

We will improve greatly imho.

Seemed pretty disappointed with himself at the end of the first quarter, went to full back straight after the siren to apologise to the backmen for letting them down after their good work.

Hes defo working hard, Trying to hard at times. he has the talent and the work rate to turn it around.

Fingers crossed.

No need to shoot the messenger lads

Congrats on a terrific career Dan Menzel. He’s certainly a guy that can hang up the boots saying I gave my all.

southernbulldog wrote:Daniel Menzel not named in either side and not named on the injury list

Dan has retired and will be playing at Padthaway as mentioned on this site two weeks ago

Chalk and cheese compared to last week. We linked up well and looked dangerous up forward. Centre clearance work was very good. I still think we need to look to move the ball thru the corridor more.

Good moves from the coaching staff to move Presbury to half back and move Hoskin up forward early.

It was a good game of footy

Can the Menzels less Eagles get over the line this weekend.

Power $1.70
Eagles $2.0


Ok uk fan I was responding to another central’s fan who kept coming after the Menzels the eagles and myself
I saw southern bulldog apologise didn’t think I needed to reply
I will say sorry UK fan but not to the other one
I’ve said it once no need to repeat it
And once again I won’t reply to any more attacks on the eagles the players or myself


You are a legend MJP1993. Keep up your passionate support for the Eagles.

Respect

Best today for dogs: Iles Presbury Kendall Grant Larkin Schiller McLennan Whitlum

I’m liking this move of Presbury into defence and Hoskin up forward.

Chisholm and Barreau hopefully available next week

WHo cares really

U dogs!!! An 8 goal last quarter to lock in a finals spot was an exceptional end to the minor round.

The First time in finals since 2017 and well done to Thommo.

And Meggsy you are on fire.

Well done to the coaches. Firstly throwing Kendall into the ruck due to Munns injury early. Then Moving Dudley into defence in the second half.

Grant & Schiller fought all day. Iles Liddle McLennan held the defence together. Presbury worked hard and Chisholm stood up when required.

Bring on Father’s Day

Port, always front of mind :lol: :oops:

That, or, port Nuffies trolling a game about crowd, atmosphere all week when they’re not involved.

Just remember, you get what you deserve.

Happily stand corrected if anyone else tuning in thought the atmosphere was amazing.

As for the crowd, it was disappointing. They hoped for 40,000 and fell short.

As if Port fans know anything about modern Grand final crowds.

They Haven't won a flag in 20 years.

Grace has never played reserves in his 3 years of SANFL.

Ive heard Neser pulled out of match on 51* to return to Bris for personal reasons. Any idea what that is about?

I’m in

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/10/31/ ... -reserves/

Port in the SANFL died in 2013 lbh.

What a surprise Koch willing to sell out 36 flags for some apparent development issue.


Bring on an 8 team comp

Dogs have signed Jake Gasper a 23 y.o forward from Port Melbourne

Gasper played 33 games for Port Melbourne and has kicked 52 goals.

Sounds promising

Meh if they want to be top ups go for it. The VFL is shite and nothing to fear.

Weve already seen Lord, Gaspar, Murley, Coetee, Boyd and Barry etc... leave playing in the vfl to join sanfl.

If the last decade is to go by we will gain more than we lose.
