2nd Semi Final Glenelg v Centrals

[Dogwatcher]

If you want to be the best you got to beat the best - can Centrals do it?

Sorry mate, you can't lay claim to being the best. That only happens at the end of the season.

[Dogwatcher]

Who will make way for the Callinan, Slade, Hayes and Symes?

Both sides will have some good ins.

Nasen, Switala and Williams will be in the gun for the Dogs.

Meyer and Sellar have played half the season at the Bay this year so your logic doesn't count in this case.

[Dogwatcher]

Who you talking to dedja?

Replying to Hazydog but you snuck in 3 posts in the meantime.

Would have thought people could have opinions on who is the best team during the year?

Agree with Nas and Willo (inexperience and form will count against them) but swooper is playing as well as I have seen him. Playing his role to perfection. The four you name have to come in, perhaps Jenner and Leigh Westhoff are in the firing line at this stage?

That wasn't an opinion mate, you were stating that as fact.

This Week SAFOOTY becomes Centraldistricts.net

Now, now. No need to get silly.
Plenty of Bays boys around here and there are certainly plenty of Sturt people having their say.

OK so IMO Glenelg are the best team this year (to date) the premiership table seems to confirm this, as does not losing for 5 months, fair call IMO

[Dogwatcher]

Fair opinion.

OK Dutchy - I am quite happy for Glenelg to be the best team in the SANFL so long as the doggies win on Oct 4.

What about the injury front for the Dogs.

Will Slade play next week?

And I noticed that Havelberg was having plenty of treatment on the hammy in the last quarter.

The Bays luckily are injury free (apart from Hinge) and have some potential selection headaches with Douglas, Sellar and Meyer available for selection.

Slade will play i would imagine, he was moving pretty freely running up and down the steps in between quarters yesterday, well better than i was at half time having a kick

[leftlegger]

Dogs dodged a bullet against sturt & will be all the better for it.

They have been flag favourites all season and nothing has changed now. Anything less than a flag for the dogs will be a total failure.
The pressure is on.

Roy Laird said on 5AA last night that if yesterday's game was an elimination final Slade would have played, he was just extra cautious with him from the luxury of having the double chance.

The other 2 boys, not so sure. I am hearing conflicting reports on Hayes. The paper says adductor strain and Roy did say he too will be fine this week for the Glenelg game, but I'm hearing it would not be until the GF weekend Hayes would be available, should the Dogs qualify of course.

Callinan is a hard one to guage only because it is common knowledge that he has had hammy issues all year. Laird said he should be fine as well but it could be possible with the double chance still in favour of the Dogs, Callinan may be given 1 more week.

Too early in the week to say anything is a certainty, except perhaps Slade will play, but I would suggest the usual - will be evaluated at training during the week and then tested later on in the week leading up to the game.

My 'guess' would be the following changes for Central in this game:

INS: M.Slade, I.Callinan, A.Hayes

OUTS: B.Nason, L.Westhoff, K.Jenner

I think anything less than a flag for any of the top three could be viewed as a failure.

Nice try, but that pressure has been there since we won our 1st. Might be a little pressure for your blokes to see if they have actualy learnt anything from last year

I'd add Williams out for Symes
