Rnd 8: South v Central @ Hickinbotham Oval (Sat 25/5)

[CENTURION]

When I say I think We will struggle, it doesnt mean I think We will lose, it means We won't win easily.

I wish South could "struggle" and win But yeah, i see your point.

[andyw]

Some pessimistic Doggies supporters here.

Hopefully a day game at home will produce some better footy. Been way too long between drinks against the Dogs. Will Boydy get his usual 30+ touches against South?

Looking forward to the game.

boydy's due to get 31 touches this week saintal
Having said that, I think this will be a close game.
Cant really pick a winner to be honest At least it's close to home

Come on U Dogs

[Big Phil]

The Crows have released Ricky Henderson and Ian Callinan to play SANFL for the Dogs in this game...

James gets 30 touches against most sides, most weeks !!!

But Boyd only averages 24.5 disposals a game.

But Boyd only averages 24.5 disposals a game.

Over the 6 games so far, yes. Perhaps wait and see how he is tracking towards the end of the year...

Over the course of his League career, at both Central and South, he wouldn't be too far off that 30 mark...

Seriously, your putting him in the Jimmy Allan category!!!

They prefer if it's called a lifestyle, don't they?

Yep, not quite as good as Jimmy, otr, although he could still win 3 Magarey's?

He may just be ahead of Clint, though, despite the fact they are completely different types of players, of course

I dunno, I'd take Boyd over Allan any day...

[The Sleeping Giant]

In 37 games since the start of 2011, Boyd has averaged 23.4 disposals, 2.6 tackles, 5.3 clearances, 4.8 inside 50s and kicked 23.17.

v South he averages 25.5 disposals, 2.5 tackles, 4.8 clearances, 5.8 inside 50s, kicked 4.1 in 4 games

He only fairs better against Norwood - 28.8 disposals (including 39 in Rd 3 this year), 3.0 tackles, 8.0 clearances, 4.2 inside 50s, kicked 0.2 in 5 games.

Still good numbers on comparison within the SANFL. Nothing on Allan though numbers-wise. He was up on disposals, clearances and inside 50s.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Thought the 30 disposals most weeks was a stretch. Goes to show you don't have to go to every game to know what's going on. ;-)

Boyd doesn't have the individual medals Allan has but he does have one Allan would give his left nut for

[CENTURION]

and he gained great satisfaction & did what a lot of other people would like to do, when he whacked that Sturt bloke last year.

Which Allen / Allan are you referring to?

Unfortunate for him, if true.
Sturt blokes are fun, interesting, and highly likable. If many people would like to whack a particular Sturt bloke we could only assume that there are many boring unlikable people out there with jealous streaks. In short, it could be said that the desire to whack a Sturt bloke is in direct proportion to the unsociability of the whacker. Conversely it could also be assumed that the quality of one's life is increased in direction proportion to the number of Sturt blokes there are willing to hang out with him.
