Sturt put Central under a lot of pressure early and deserved their lead but then Sturts skills fell away which is how Central gained momentum . Sturt missed too many achieveable goals to keep close and against a top side you must take them .A bit baffling the 25m penalty and the holding the ball rule , well our umpires have no idea. Umpiring is sub standardand laughable at times. In the 1st Quarter a Central player was called to play on after receiving the ball back from the Sturt player , he must have had the ball in his hands for 2 seconds and hardly moved and then was told to play on and resulted in a Sturt goal .A pretty good game really.
He was doing it from the opening bounce, only thing being in the first quarter he looked like he had never played that role before and was running around in circles.
But yes he was very effective from quarter time onwards.
And for some reason we kept bombing it straight on top of his head for the rest of the game. Probably would have helped warm to the role.
We did repay the favour to Kurtze enough though.
