1st Semi Final - Sturt vs Eagles @ Football Park

[whufc]

Sturts depth may be tested this weekend IF Chambers, Nelson, Payne, and Vassall are all injured especially against an Eagles team which may have some very handy inclusions such as Shirley and Hentschel.

Apparently Matthew Payne's season is over for Sturt after hurting his knee again yesterday, will miss 3 weeks because of it...

Geez! This is going well for us, isn't it.

Glad I didn't get overly cocky and book flights in advance.

I might book flights and come over your way until this finals series blows over

Well what happens this week guys?
Eagles could very well sneak a win against what could be an undermanned
Sturt .And Sturt go out in straight sets .(not causing trouble here guys no offence meant)
OR will Sturt bounce back and beat the eagles by 10 goals like some fans think.

Personally I'm hoping the win over North woke the sleeping Eagles up being it could be Rons ,and Mark Passadors last games.
And a few neutral fans are saying the eagles could surprise some of the top three teams .

Can the SFC not put blue writing on a blue background for the banner this week please, I could hardly read it yesterday. Maybe use white writing?

We had massive trouble getting the colours we usually use. The light blue we normally would use as a backround is not going to be available until Oct 1st. Know exactly what your saying and if I can't get navy blue to use as a backround this week I was also thinking of using white letters as you mentioned.

Don't forget to add the CFC logo mate......

That should piss off the Collingwood and Essendon supporters in our cheer squad

[Cambridge Clarrie]

If you listen to the tone of some other posts on this site, we've actually just run the 2009 premiers to within 6 points of defeat...

I think we have every reason to be optomistic.

Should be a good game.

Geez, I'd love the chance to have a crack again at Central in 2 weeks time...

Eagles will be no push over, but Sturt by 5 goals for mine...

GO THE DOUBLE BLUES

By the way, I do recall you saying something about a very average football team? Not bad for that particular team to finish at least fourth this year.

[Jackal]

Eagles will also have at least one key player missing due to injury, could be as high as three so hopefully the Crows are good to us during the week.

I'm surprised no one has commented but CHAMBERS is DEFINITELY OUT this week. Luke Norman has already stated that Chambers won't be available for the clash with Torrens. In fact, he's only 50-50 for the following week assuming we make it that far...

Massive loss if Chambers doesn't play. I know it's hyperthetical but if yesterdays game was played the same way and Chambers was on the end of Sturts inside 50's i believe sturt would have won comfortably, just my opinion though.

I'd like to think that was the case, but I didn't feel we were getting it in clean enough for him to be a major factor. However, he would have likely got the odd mark and goal that would have put us over the line. But spilt milk and all that...

This is a very interesting game. I went to the Roosters v Eagles match and was impressed with both sides and like the Doggies, it was the Eagles who came from behind late in the game to take the biscuits and move into the semi-final. I do feel this game is 50-50 because of the gut wrenching loss the Double Blues suffered later that afternoon. The loss of Chambers will also be a major factor as the match against the Eagles is likely to be more free flowing and open and I'm not sure we'll have the ability to kick a winning score. That said, we've been very good this year in keeping teams, like the Eagles, to low scores.

I really don't know what to expect. Will Sturt show great mettle and win and win well and move back into the preliminary final like last year, hopefully to have a second crack at Centrals? or will Sturt crumble and end their season ignominously as fans fear may happen. At the same time, we can't count out the Eagles, who themselves would love to have a crack at Centrals and oust them from the finals, as having played so many grannies themselves, they'd be an outside chance to go the whole way. I'm really not sure what will happen, but I suppose I have to show some faith in Sturt and pick the boys...

Sturt 11-20...

To be honest... I'm very 50-50 on that one. Just not sure who will win. I can't buy the idea that its a given Centrals will win, but I can't presume either that Glenelg have the hardness to win the match. I really don't know. I definitely want Glenelg to win, to prove there is a chance that someone other than Centrals can win it, but also I'd love to have a crack at them again. But that said, I don't think we'd beat Centrals in a prelim, so I'm not gaining much as a fan by getting that far into the finals.

For me, I comfortably think Centrals and Glenelg will play off again.

Besides you've seen my other serious posts about Centrals... there's love there... there really is Mr.Hammers!

Any names Jackal? Broadbent? Cica?
