glenelg v central

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

so did you have an "off" day in October last year???

going on the form the couple games before i would say yes, but the mark of a good side is those that pounce on Centrals when they have an off day, Sturt did that this year, i just cant see Centrals giving them a sniff again.

The bays are a big chance to get closer than norwood did. The key is not losing douglas this week because then, they wont get closer than norwood.

Cant wait to use the scoreline as part of my signiture.

Hmm I don't know which post to take more seriously the one above or this one from April 24....

We have just become the best team in the comp. Good luck to any other team trying to beat Port at alberton this season. Sturt are the greatest

An off day in a grand final???? ....I honestly dont think there is such a thing!!!

So you think that Centrals were truely an 125 point better side than the Eagles in 2004? you dont think the Eagles might have just had one of those days, where nothing goes right, yet everything goes right for the opposition, considering they were good enough to get to the GF, i would suggest they were better than they showed on the day.

[Grahaml]

Richard Williams had one of those days in the 2005 GF.

[Dutchy]

I believe if any game is a true reflection of form its in the GF, I dont think motivation or having an "off day" can come into a GF

[am Bays]

dutchy mate, i would love for the gays to smash the dogs but it aint happening, dream and believe all you like, i hope it comes true but its all in ya head mate.

sorry.

*thud*

would like to know why you think Sturt can beat the Dogs but not Glenelg?

I dont think they could do it again, doubt Centrals will have another off day like that.Would be intrested to know how many games from this point in the season the Dogs have dropped in the past few years, i know it was none in 2005, and probably only 1-2 in 04 and 06.

Do you think it wasn't so much centrals having an off day compared to Sturt putting the pressure on and running all day so centrals were able to play well.

Yes teams have "bad days" but that is often the product of the opposition team not not allowing them to play well. You have to admit Sturt played well that day and if any other team (on their day) plays as well or better than what Sturt did they will more than likely beat Centrals (or any other opposition) too.

I just love the fact that some Central supporters HONESTLY believe that when their side loses, granted it is not that often, it was all down to the Dogs having an 'off day'.

Is it not posssible they were beaten by the better side on the day, considering many pundits and fans thought it was one of the best SANFL contests of the last few years??

Geeeez. I guess it is hard for young bucks like sam to be anything BUT arrogant considering they have only seen success, because they are too young to remember when Central were mere mortals and really battled.....

I can't comment on the Sturt v Central game because I didn't see it ... But I can say that I think Norwood played equally as poorly in our last two games, against Sturt and Central and there was a 93 point difference in the winning margin.

The two times I've seen Central live this year and once on TV they are miles ahead of anyone else in the comp and barring a spate of injuries or another team like North or the Eagles getting their full quota of players back and running into some HOT form, I think they'll be capable of destroying anyone at anytime.

(Thats not meant to knock Sturts achievements so far, and to come* this year either MST)

[MightyEagles]

I'm putting my money on the dogs, even though footy can bring up results that people don't expect, like when Glenelg def Central at Adelaide Oval last year.

I take what you are saying CP but I would have to disagree with your statement that Norwood were just as poor against the Dogs as they were the week before v Sturt. League football sides should never concede 34 goals, unless of course they play totally disinterested, poor, passionless footy.

Central are a super side and on any given day can mete out a hiding to any side in the competition, but Sturt proved a few weeks back that a four quarter effort, filled with character and committment, can match it with the Dogs. That goes for any side.

Unfortunately the more contributions I read of young Sam GUD, the more I believe he is just a young fella who loves his footy, in particular his Bulldogs, but in reality knows very little about the game of Australian Rules Football.

[Grahaml]

MST, that's one of the truly dumbest posts I've seen in my life. Of course he was saying Sturt were the better team on the day. What he was saying was that Sturt were the better team because in part Central were down a little. Central is the best team in the comp. When at their best, no other team can beat them. Stands to reason to beat them you have to get them off their best game. Sturt can take some credit for doing just that, but to expect that the next time you play us it will be easily replicated is looking at the world through double blue coloured glasses.

From Sam, in an earlier post, referring to Central's loss at Unley;
I dont think they could do it again, doubt Centrals will have another off day like that.

Not for one minute do I harbour any false illusions that I am in the same scholastic stratosphere as your good self Graham, so please accept my most humble of apologies and indeed, correct me if I am mistaken, but that statement from young Samuel does not go close to even hinting that Sturt were the better side on the day.

Now as I stated, I am but a mere dumby in the shadow of yourself and my previous "Dumb" post serves only to reinforce that.

I am however just on the right side of being a complete and utter dimwit and as such that does allow me to determine that you just love to be argumentative, for the sake of being so.

May I retire gracefully on 270 something posts of stupidity from this site, the same site that is enriched by geniuses like Grahaml?

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

Yes Centrals didnt have a good day, but as i said early the mark of a good side is those that take their chances and pounce on that, as Sturt did, Centrals have had a couple other games like that this year, but opposition has not been good enough.
My honest opinion is Centrals will not give the opposition that chance to pounce again this season.

[Grahaml]

OMG. Let me ask you this. If, in a 2 team game, one team is worse than the other, what does that mean? Surely the other team must be the BETTER side. Your insistince that we use terms glowing in praise of Sturt smacks of self indulgence on your part. Surely even you're not that naive to think that all sides play their best every week? Do you honestly think Centrals had a good day? Do you also think that Centrals will not be any better the next time they play Sturt? While nothing is ever certain, even you must surely be expecting that the dogs will be harder to beat at the next meeting.

Selective quoting on your behalf MST.

How about this one, giving Sturt a mark for being a good side - being able to knock Centrals off on a bad day.

but the mark of a good side is those that pounce on Centrals when they have an off day, Sturt did that this year, i just cant see Centrals giving them a sniff again.

Admittedly, I too thought Sam was being a little cocky with some of his posts.

Let's remember though that prior to Sturt beating Centrals, people were asking "who was going to do it?". A lot of unbiased supporters are STILL asking questions along those lines. Those people must also believe the Dogs had an 'off day' against Sturt.

actually i think its very close, just worded diffrently and in more detail.
why would i need to hint that Sturt were better on the day? does the scoreboard not already reflect that?
or are some people just looking for some more validation after abit of a reality check on the weekend, and maybe now agree with what i've said deep down and just dont want to admit it.

For fear of fighting out of my weight division, and the fact that I am intimidated by your intelligence, perhaps I am better to borrow a quote from another regular on this site, if that is permitted oh Grahaml, oh wise one?

The Tassie Medallist puts it better than I ever could.

To answer a couple of your questions, NO I don't need any glowing praise to validate my opinions and YES, I do believe it will be more difficult to topple the Dogs out at the Ponderossa.

I move for a motion that you, Dutchy, Drebin and a couple of others form a rebel tour and have your very own footysa.com site. It could be called, "Argumentative.com" or "Everything I say is gospel.com" or even, specifically for you graham, "I choose to act like CDFC have always dominated the SANFL and refuse to be humble by recognising that my side used to be a laughing stock.com"

Bored now.

Go the Bays on the weekend.
