Rnd 4 - Central v Eagles @ Playford Alive (Sat 25/4)

[Big Phil]

The Doggies and Eagles do battle again on ANZAC Day after these two sides featured regularly in GF rematched throughout the early to mid 2000's...

Central notched up their first victory of the year while the Eagles shocked everyone by demoralising the Reigning Premiers...

Looking forward to heading along for this one...


League @ 2:45pm

Reserves @ 12:00pm

Game will be broadcast on 1197am RPH Adelaide, from 2:00pm...

Eagles strange season to continue as the Dogs maintain their home win ratio
Centrals by 3 goals

[bulldog2004]

Thats a really short reserves game BP.

Dogs by 2 points

[wristwatcher]

Watched Centrals on Friday and saw some good signs but don't consider them a top 3 threat. They should have been 6 goals down at quarter time.

Didn't see the Eages but 14 goal wins over the three time premier are generally pretty good wins.

Dogs will be tough to beat at home but if WWT can maintain any sort of consistency they will win comfortably enough. 13-24

I forgot the 1 at the start of the 2 !!!

All fixed, now...

Or the Summerton of the West Adelaide variety?

[wild dog]

Eagles too good. Lucky it wasn't by 10. Better for us Thomo collier. Well done Eagles no umps favorites 8n this win.

[johntheclaret]

Centrals are just missing that killer punch.
Had more of the ball, won the clearances and had more inside 50s
Eagles just more clinical

[JK]

Did the Eagles get numbers back then counter into open space? (ie, the same manner they dismantled us last week)

yep...........but the dogs helped with their woeful skills. 40 pts was flattering imho

No, they just showed up.

Less than ordinary, Eagles way too good. Seems like I'm doomed to live through the 60's, 70's and 80's AGAIN! Thought I had seen the last of them.

[wild dog]

Yep, and took the piss in doing so. You guys did similar but not as good as the Eagles. Very impressed with them and a good brand of footy to watch. Also a good turn out of Eagles supporters. Well done to the club, hard working as usual.

Yeah as bad as we were last week, they were good, real good. If they can remain healthy you'd think they should be around the money at the business end of the season.

Nice to finally see a win at Elizabeth
Wasn't as good as last week but it worked
Who's not happy with Godden now

[wedgetail]

Missed the Norwood game last week unfortunately and was worried about this one due to our poor record at Eliz. The trend out here has been poor starts and being 3-4 goals down at 1/4 time and virtually out of the game due to Centrals strong teams over that time holding us at arms length. Being up at 1/4 time today into the wind was foreign territory and proved to be decisive as centrals, with less quality than in the past and the Eagles with more run, body pressure and a better game style took control. An even team effort with McGregor, Goldsworthy, Borholm all playing big roles.

[Aerie]

Eagles win the first northern derby! Home game next week at Alberton!
