After all matches.

[RB]

Funny that the Eagles have won 4/5 but still have a % below fifty.

[Jim05]

Good to see the Legs junior academy churning out another bunch of potential stars.
Hopefully that will keep us around the mark for years to come

Those stars weren't good enough to beat Norths hacks last week

True, the little Cocks are having a great year aswell.
Good signs for both clubs

Speaking of youngsters I watches a young lad of African descent absolutely carve up today in the Osullivans Beach/Lonsdale v Reynella Under 16s match today, did a great back flip after an awesome goal and had a complete game especially with his accurate kicking. I assume/hope he plays for South on Saturdays.
North need to get out to their Kilburn area and encourage these kids to play footy instead of soccer, so awesome to watch!

You might want to check Adelaide's & Port's point for and against.

I have
Port 621 - 327
Adelaide 432 - 546

[scott]

Thanks mate. In my haste to leave I reckon I've put the scores in back to front. Will fix later.

[Big Phil]

Scott, do you know when was the last time was that the Dogs lost 3 in a row by over 20 goals in total?

[scott]

2012 1st Semi - lost to North by 88 points
2013 Round 1 - lost to West by 15 points
2013 Round 2 - lost to North by 41 points
---------------------------------------------------------------
3 games - 144 points

(that losing streak extended to six with close loses in Round's 3 and 4, and the Round 24 loss in 2012)

[Big Phil]

Cheers mate, appreciate that...

Unfortunately I think that you will find the Kilburn area is in Woodville-West Torrens zone unless it changed quite recently.

I just assumed that would be Norths heartland being up Prospect Rd, probably not a bad thing as even though there's some amazing talent the majority of kids in that area aren't interested in footy.

Kilburn FC was in Eagles zone for a few years, we helped the club get some junior footy restarted.

Went back to Roosters zone a couple of years back

I feel like a tennis ball, my original comment stands then! Lol
You obviously didn't pass on much financial advice to them Phil!
Typical, we get them back when they're basket cases.

[SANFLnut]

Thanks for your great work Scott. Any chance of getting the team and individual stats on for the week? Always very interesting reading.

Player stats

[scott]

Today's random fact:

Adelaide's Luke Thompson has played five matches this season for 83 disposals but without laying a tackle. Only 10 other league players haven't laid a tackle this season, but all have played only one or two games each.

Another random fact:

78% of Michael Still's disposals have come from a mark (27 disposals, 21 marks), the highest by far in the league by almost 12%.

[Big Phil]

Great work, as always, Scott...

[RB]

83 touches without a tackle is inexplicable.
