RD21 Sturt v Glenelg @ Unley Preview (Sun 23/8)

[CENTURION]

Come to the CD v STURT night game, I'll give you some Gummi Bears.

[CUTTERMAN]

Continuous, boring, unimaginative, repetitive crap. Mate I'm sure you're better than that, but every f****** post and you come up with the same boring s***t. I'm not thin skinned, my post was merely an observation of the repetitive crap you delight in and as for you point of the crap that Doggies supporters have delt with in the past, well I agree with you, but all the more reason that you'd see the nonsense of it all. As I said before, I reckon you're better than that. Enjoy your footy.

Sorry, which boring, unimaginative, repetitive crap? So what, I type $turd, sometimes I put the gays, or the maggots. Chill out man. I try not to be boring, unimaginative & repetitive, like most who seem to take everything far too seriously. I try to view things with some mirth.
P.S. I LOVE the name CUTTERMAN btw, it has 9 letters!

C, I don't really have a problem with you, I just find some of what you and others portray boring when it comes to the incesent snide little digs at other clubs, if you think it's entertaining then enjoy it but don't be surprised when someone makes a negative comment about it and don't be offended. I am glad that you edited your comment, cause you didn't make much sense, me a bay's supporter? A fight in the Queens Arms? Mate, not me, wrong person. As for the 9 letters in my avatar, well I'm still ****** if I know what you're on about but FWIW, Cutterman comes from my trade. Cheers and enjoy your footy.
Yours sincerely,
Cutterman with 9 letters.

Back to footy
This will be a belter, hoping to see Unley packed and a maximum crowd of 8000 (which is still the legal capacity I think). As I've said on another thread, I can't see that Sturt can pinch top spot and finishing 2nd or 3rd doesn't really make a difference so I'll be happy with closing in on the Bays to a couple of goals at the final siren and happier with a win. One thing I've been pondering is that maybe there is still pressure on Glenelg and Centrals in contesting top spot for the 1st week off, it gives Sturt 3 rounds without that burden, a bit of time to work on their game leading into finals, which on previous years we need.

Can the club open up more of the eastern wing which is sometimes used for sponsors days to allow for more spectators to enter the ground?
Has the council told the club how to operate these boundaries inside the ground ?
Is an agreement in place regarding attendance, roped off areas etc ?
I'd like to think the club would make as many adjustments to catering, viewing areas etc to allow for maximum attendance.
Pseudo, At a guess I would say the maximum crowd in it's current setup would be 8000 spectators.

Maybe the match can be moved to Adelaide Oval??? ... damn, tried that last time, and didn't it work well for the paying public on the night?

There's a legal requirement and agreement with the council that max att. is 8000

[CENTURION]

Adelaide Oval is closed.

[Big Phil]

I have a funny feeling the Double Blues may break their little hoodoo against the Bays and we'll see the home side get up.

Sturt by 3 goals

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

Sturt by 12 points, I reckon i will make the effort and head out for a look Sunday, should be a great game.

Congrats to Scooter McGlone ahead of his 100th game in this clash between first and third...

Here is a good little piece on him from the Messenger online...

McGlone's Magical Milestone



A PILLAR of consistency and reliability across Sturt’s half-back line this season, it’s hard to believe Scott McGlone actually struggled somewhat when he first arrived at Unley from South Adelaide at the start of 2008.

McGlone, who continued his stellar recent form with 28 possessions in the Double Blues’ 24.19 (163) to 7.12 (54) win over West on Saturday, said he had struggled to find his place in the Sturt line-up.

``The first 6-8 weeks of last year I got thrown around a couple of positions,’’ McGlone said.

``It took me a little while to find my feet - a new club, finding out what your players strengths are, where to run.

``(Former coach) Rick (Macgowan) wanted us to play a few different roles and I learnt a lot in those first eight weeks and confidence plays a huge part.

``Once you get that confidence, you start rolling along.’’

After 59 games with South, during which he won the Panthers’ 2007 best and fairest, McGlone has arguably taken his game to another level at Sturt.

He will make his 100th league appearance in this Sunday’s blockbuster against Glenelg at Unley.

``The boys made me aware of it during the week (100th game).

``Milestones are good but you dont really take too much notice of it. We just want to win that’s our main focus.

``Getting a couple of kicks is always nice, but I’m just thrilled with my current role in the backline and playing the younger boys, (Nick) Wark, (Dane) Avery, Patty Fittock and Coady, we’re all playing well together and ready for Glenelg this weekend.’’

[Blue Boy]

Really hope we are just better than last time we played them and the time before that and the the time before that

[CUTTERMAN]

Well done Scotty. And go the Scooter McGlone!

[Bluedemon]

Hopefully we are competitve but i am predicting the Bays to win by 4 goals. Glenelg are the red hot favourites to win the flag.

[therisingblues]

We're playing much better footy now then what we were in june.

...And watch it all come undone come finals time, just like last year...and the year before that...

Since we're going through history, gee it came undone real bad in 02.
New season and alot of new players this year. Also a coach who's not afraid to make a move before it's too late, something our previous coach wasn't able to do.

Those comments from Sturt supporters crack me up. That was 5 premierships ago for us.

And it has been about 10,000 June premiers comments since we last played the Dogs. Amazing how many Sturt vs whoever threads have been hijacked by Dogs fans ever since that game.

[therisingblues]

Headed by Centurion, you guys act like morons concerning this crap.

Sorry GUTTERMAN, which crap would you be referring to? Just because I replace the "S" with a "$" symbol & then the final "t" with a "d"? Deary, deary me, are you THAT thin-skinned? ...

Indeed. One of the wittier Blooze fans might simply have countered with a reference to ¢*ntral

A bit contrived I would have thought Pseudo. Technically that word would be pronounced "Suntral" following the rule that $ = S etc.
Also the execution of that joke has been compounded by the fact that I can't find the "¢" symbal on my keyboard.

[therisingblues]

well done to the abctv for making this the tv game of the week, i think this is a great decision & will be a great advertisment for sanfl football

... and it means those of us who get locked out will still be able to see the match. Seriously, if the weather is good, excess of 10K punters could roll up. What's the capacity of the Unley half-oval these days?

Is it still being broadcast on radio?

[panthers 2008]

Sturt to finally break the back of their nemesis!
If the track is dry I reckon sturt by 4-5 goals!
If sturt can mix it with the bays in the tough contested ball I have no doubt they will win.
Should be a belter of a game and I will definately head down for a look.

[Bluedemon]

early forecast is 17 with some showers.

[Big Phil]

Is it still being broadcast on radio?

Sorry to dissapoint you trb, but it seems as though it is only on ABC TV...

ROUND 21:

Friday, August 21
Norwood v North (N) @ Coopers Stadium 5RPH - 1197am

Saturday, August 22
Central District v South @ Hamra Homes Oval LifeFM - 107.9


Sunday August 23
Sturt v Glenelg @ House Brothers Oval ABC TV

You'll have to get someone here to tape it for you and send it over. I'm sure RPH will have someone at Unley for 'Around The Grounds' updates during their braodcast of the Eagles and West game, so still tune in and of course this site for updates.
