Rd 2 2007 Central v South & live scores

[Wedgie]

From the CDFC:

CENTRAL DISTRICT vs South Adelaide
Hamra Homes Oval, 2.00pm, Saturday 14th April 2007
Round Two sees South Adelaide make the water bag trip from Noarlunga to Hamra Homes Oval to battle it out with the Doggies this Saturday from 2.00pm.
Apparently there’s another game on at the same time in the Western suburbs. We would rather people spend $9 for a great afternoon of league football rather than $10 for a carpark. Centrals originally wanted to play Saturday night to avoid the clash but the SANFL schedule for a Saturday afternoon game to be broadcast on ABC television made that unlikely. We are, of course, grateful for the coverage afforded to us this weekend.
The good news is that Adrian Wilson is available to play this weekend after a visit to the SANFL tribunal. The bad news is that forward Justin Westhoff, who has been in great form, wasn’t so lucky with a 2 game suspension for striking. In comes Luke Cowan to bolster the forward lines while regular full forward Daniel Schell continues to enjoy his footy in defence.

What can a true SANFL supporter say....?

" Whats AFL...? "

We would rather people spend $9 for a great afternoon of league football rather than $10 for a carpark.

=D

I couldn't decide which one to go to - this or the Showdown - so I'm gonna be at home channel surfing instead. Would have loved for this to be Sat night, though.

[scott]

Also, why is the Showdown on Saturday afternoon??! That's probably the worst timeslot for this type of game out of the entire weekend.

[Jar Man Out]

Good to see Cowans back and Musolino's preseason form was excellent

Currie would be in doubt with a thigh injury.

Danger game for the dogs with so many injuries. Round two hasnt been kind in recent years.

Mate, if this is the side that runs out on Saturday, it is still a very very good side.
Even if the Dogs had a full list to pick from, the issue is 30 does not go in to 21, so with our depth this year, good players wil miss out every week.
I can't see South getting over the top of us, footy is won in the midfield, it is here our boys will keep supplying the forwards all day, and with forward options such as Lawry, Westhoff, Cowan and Schell (if needed), too many big gums for south to contain

But you didn't even mention the Gowans Bros......

South have a habit of winning when they shouldn't, I reckon the $3.35 could still be small overs

Biggest Winning Margin[/b] Central - 195pts (Rd9 May25 2002 @El)

I wont forget that game in a hurry

Been a long time since we won up there. I'd like to say it would be this week, but it is hard to see it happening. However I'm confident we'll put in a much better showing than last week.

Anybody know the ins/outs for south? I know Smith is out with work.

[redwhiteandblueblooded]

A couple of points. Have heard that Brad Currie will not be playing due to that quad strain and also heard the Kerl's ad for the games this weekend on the two knuckleheads show this evening saying the games is at 6:30pm. My program from the club shows 2pm and even Wedgie(with his precious hubcaps intact!) say it is a 2pm Game. So whom do we believe?

[Scottdog]

This is a danger game for the Doggies,wouldnt want to take the Panthers lightly.Any news on when Yves Sibenaler will be back,and is Steiny definitely having an op.Got to the ground last week and Steiny was just getting back from a run.

[lion heart]

Tough game for the panthers but i expect them to be very competitive this week .... How did Prendergast go against the Eags?? He should be making a big impact this year and could be a Magarey chance ... Big call i know but the guy is the key possie size yet has the engine of a rover .. very hard to match up on

[Jimmy]

that is a quality, even side for the dogs this week. you'd have to back in the dogs to win this won easily!!!

i predict an 0-2 start for the panters.

[doggies4eva]

I'm always nervous playing South early in the season - they have a good record against us particularly at Noarlunga. But this game is at Elizabeth and the team looks good even with O'Sullivan still out and the harsh ruling from the tribunal this week. Hopefully we can have a win.

[sydney-dog]

Scottdog

Steiny definitely requires a 3rd shoulder recon, he may of already had the op?

[Mickyj]

If south play like last week dogs by 80 odd points

[westcoastpanther]

If south play like last week dogs by 80 odd points

And if South play like the Eagles in some recent GF's make it 124 odd points...

Sorry to be a wet blanket again, but talking about recent GFs:

Centrals' losing GF margin average this decade: 61.5 pts
Eagles losing GF margin average this decade: 53.5 pts

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

Centrals to win by 141 points.

[sturt1]

Steinberner for the dogs and Sampson for the panthers are 2 of the hardest, most spirited tough guys to play for their respective clubs in recent years. Both of their efforts have been huge to play through their injuries. Boths blokes have incredible character and play the game the way it should be played. Well done lads.
