Round 4 South v Central

[northerner]

Huge game for us .lose and we are done for the season

Yep, losing the quality players that we have in the past 12 months is killing us.
McCormack, Dudley, Dittmar, McLennan, Montgomery, Callinan, Adams, Cochrane, Sharp etc etc etc.
leaves a huge hole.
We might start getting better later in the season but I can't see us playing finals footy this year.

Meanwhile we have Josh Fahey and possibly Saunders as our only decent replacements.

And a 207cm ruckman recruited from Victoria who is now playing for Salisbury North. And today the Hawks announce Louie McLennan (a definite league player IMO) will also play for them.

Gerring playing B grade for Salisbury North,why recruit if not playing at your club.
Another ruckman a similar height we recruited playing for Golden Grove B grade.
The club is going backwards,it can't all just be bad luck.

[Hazydog]

We’re not that far off in fairness. A few skill errors from players who normally can be relied upon probably the difference between having a couple of wins on the board. Granted the last quarter fade-outs are a concern .. but is that more a mindset/confidence issue rather than fitness?
Sundays match against an under strength Panther outfit will be intriguing.
Haven’t seen enough of young Wills to see what he brings to the table and expecting East to be rewarded for consistent early season form with a recall.

Gerring coming back from an injury.

[UK Fan]

The debutant coming off a massive 11 disposals in the reserves last week.

[southernbulldog]

He had 16 & 21 in the first two games and we had the shortened reserves game last week.

[UK Fan]

In McCarty Wills

Out : Mohail smith

How is East not in the side. How does Reed and Tattoli keep getting selected after contributing nothing

[mighty_tiger_79]

dogs off to a good start

[Hazydog]

Yeah but feel they didn’t get value on the scoreboard due to the all too familiar unforced errors costing turnovers.

Certainly having a crack though

[dedja]

Baldi … life imitating art.

[locky801]

Huge 2nd 1/4 by the Panthers

[UK Fan]

Dogs 6.7(43)
South 9.2(56)

South kicked 7 goals that quarter

[am Bays]

South on top now dominating around the coal face.

Schoenmaker looks classy

[Hazydog]

Skill errors and turnovers killing the Dogs.. cost at least 2 goals in that 2nd qtr.

Panthers also benefited from 3 frees deep in the forward line all which looked dodgy by my biased eyes..

No doubt though South playing a more direct style and making the most out of their opportunities

[am Bays]

Centrals fans, is Grace injured? 1 disposal to half time.

[Dogs64]

These umpires are pathetic. South would be loving the bald umpire.

[dedja]

Central

[Jim05]

All one way since 1/4 time
South kicking for goal has been superb

[locky801]

These umpires are pathetic. South would be loving the bald umpire.

Looking at the score, think you have more to woory about than the umpires performance

Yeah, we're below average, but 21 frees to 11 isn't helping (especially inside their 50).
