Rnd 16 - Central v Sturt POST GAME DISCUSSION

[JK]

Thanks Phil. It certainly did look like a very paltry crowd. We needed the Titanic on the outer to fill in all the vacant spaces! Hoping we can draw a decent crowd to our next home game.
I guess crappy weather combined with the match being televised were contributors to this low attendance.
I recorded the match though and must say I enjoyed watching the highlights of the 1982 Central v Sturt match from Unley. Classic footage.

Both the games between the clubs in 82 were all-time classics, and eerily similar in terms of how far behind the winning team had been earlier in the match ... Such natural footballers back in those days. Edwards in particular, and the big fella Wright always made Central a good team to watch back then .. Motley and Graham at Sturt .. Ah they were the days!!

Yes I remembers the footage, I think Sturt came back and just fell short.

I remember being amazed seeing a large crowd all around the ground, given its curent configuration.

Nah, the game they're talking about Central came back from being about 12 goals down before half time and winning it.
I listened to it on the radio at home. I remember Michael Graham hitting the post in the dying minutes, and I believe we lost by less than a goal. The commentator rode that kick in along with everyone at the ground and at home, right up until tue huge "Oh!" signalled that it hadn't gone through, ("and it's hit the post!") easy to understand why Dogs fans loved it.

Yes, I remember that game. I was ten and was right in line with the the flight of the ball on the Michael Graham kick, I thought we were gone. I think I remember a young Peter Motley taking a great mark on the wing. It was one of the best comebacks I've ever seen and one of my earliest football memories.

Daryl Hicks, Bulldog coach so calm on the boundary line near the dug out, everyone else jumping around him when the siren sounded, Daryl
keeping his emotions well in check!

What did you think of Tamblings game on the weekend Centurion ???

He did.

I saw him out there. Didn't notice him playing.

[Grahaml]

Got plenty of the ball, I always figure if I don't notice an opposition player and they got a bit of the ball they didn't do too badly. I tend to notice them more when they mess things up. Question is I guess do the crows give him another year? He's on the outer but has talent. He must be in the gun but I'm not sure it's all said and done just yet. If he does get cut and not picked up by someone else, Sturt could do worse than keeping him on board if possible.

Fair assessment Graham but unfortunately for him I think it's all over and perhaps a bit unjustly he'll be most known in 20 years time as the answer to a trivia question.


Poor game all round and about the only consolation out of the game was the performance of Greenslade and Montgomery had it tough on debut in the first half matching up against Boyd.

Thought Habel, as has been mentioned, was very good and I thought this Lawton bloke was some sort of imposter in the first half but he certainly proved to me that he could play in the second half.
