Qualifying Final Centrals V Sturt @ Football Park 13/9

[spell_check]

would it be fair to say the loser of this match would most probably not go top ?...i'd say yes & that is why this is even more important for both teams than most realise......cue spelly, i think the only loser of the qualifying final to go top was ironically sturt in 1976 ?

Yes.

Yes.

Did you have to bring this up bayman? As you know, the Bays beat Sturt in the last minor round game, the qualifying final the week after, but lost to them in the preliminary (by 7 points I think) before claiming the flag against Port.

Good pickup though.

Any crowd predictions people? I'm saying 12,000 as I know a hell of alot of people who should be going to this game but are going to watch the Crows instead

As a matter of fact I am heading over for the Crows Saturday night. I'll then be back for for this game Sunday arvo (once heck of a road trip).

[CUTTERMAN]

My girlfriend is coming over from Vic for the weekend, probably miss both.

You'll be a tad pissed off if you fall asleep during the game after going to all that effort!

Why not treat her to a nice romantic afternoon at the footy?

This is what I would be doing and have done in the past. Sadly, I think you're in the minority. Everyone I know that's going over is staying over night and won't be coming back until late sunday arvo.

[Big Phil]

Has anyone heard the outcome of the Andrew Hayes tribunal hearing tonight ?

Sleep shouldn't be a problem. We're driving back to Horsham after the Adelaide game, spending the night there, then finishing the trip Sunday morning. Should arrive at AAMI early afternoon wide awake

Yeah I know I'm in the minority, but I'm dedicated to both Adelaide's and Central's causes and will do whatever it takes to catch both games this weekend.

Reprimand according to the Centrals forum

[NFC]

Central by 29 points and will officially be in the GF at about 5:30 next Sunday.

I'm actually getting back to Adelaide at about 7:30am Sunday and intend to go to both matches, depends on how I feel though and if I'm not too exhausted.

Yeah, the 'Tiser this morning said that he pleaded guilty, had a 20 minute hearing and was given the reprimand

[sjt]

Unfortunately, I think Central are going to have a few "outs" for this weekend, perhaps more than expected. It's going to take a massive effort to beat Sturt. I think Sturt by about 30 points.

Who are these "outs" you speak of sjt ???

There are a couple of handy players by the name of J.Gowans, Havelberg, possibly M.Westhoff, Havelberg even a Hardy to come in if need be ???

I don't believe James will be an out, but unfortunately there's others under a cloud. Sorry, I guess we find out tomorrow night.

[Bluedemon]

it will be a very close game and come down to the last kick of the day. i would like to see Centrals playing in a 1st semi-final this decade but i can see that happening, centrals by 6-12 points.

[dedja]

Well if the Dogs do lose this week and end up in the 1st-semi it may be straight sets as they will turn up to play at 3:10pm and miss the game!

[whufc]

SJT would i be on the money in thinking the players you are referreing to are both Ian Callinan and Brayden O'Hara, both players looked very propy and sore when they walked off Norwood Oval on Saturday and both have had injury problems in the last couple of weeks.

Do you think James Gowans will play this week, he spoke to a few of my mates and said that had last week been a final he would have definatley played and that he was a certainty for this week.
