I must be dreaming, cant wait to read some posts from those that were there, well done to the West side, know i am old but cant remember the last time they beat the Dogs

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO YYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU BBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDSSSSSSSS
U mighty West Adelaide Champions We are up and running this season. half a game off the five

As a life long Westies supporter....IM STUNNED!!!

Just caught the last 15 mins or so ... I'm guessing the Bloods were behind all day.

Will be interesting to read the match summary but in any case a fantastic win after dropping their bundle last week against Sturt.

Won't a Norwood win against North create some new life in the race for 5th spot, although I can't see North imploding to miss out.

Well done Bloods.

yes big phil in fairness u should have added the 4th option upset

Great result for SA football.

Well done to westies good to see them beat centrals. first time in a while i believe

2003 was the last time when West played well.

I think that says a lot for Andy Collins that he can turn the side's performance around in a week against quality opposition and having lost Pettigrew, Cupido and Anderson from last week's side. Sensational win.

Hear! Hear!
Think the commentators said 16 games. Nice one Bloods. Even if it doesn't suit NFC.
Everything seems to be falling in place for the Bays. A little breathing space during a bye round.
Now if JC can string a few together as Norwood's interim coach, it's game on for 5th possie.
And history shows what the Legs can do from 5th with backs against the wall.
I know....'Tell 'im he's dreamin'..........(& praying )

Better put on the asbestos gloves guys. The keyboards will be hot tonight !

Very well done to the Bloods ! Centrals still the premiership faves though along with Sturt who pounded the Eagles today. The final series could be the best in a long while !

westies beat centrals??? i must be dreaming what happened to the dogs?

WTF!!!

Are Centrals laying doggo so their odds drift and they can get better odds for their flag win??? Despite the loss I still rate the dogs as faves for the flag as we know they peak for late August, September/October so something must be amiss today. Having said all that well done Westies as you can't argue with beating the flag faves and reigning premiers. You have defiantely done well today and helped your neighbouring Bays out in a big way....

We're still a silly chance for the minor premiership

No way, Bays would have to be flag favourites. The Dogs have (obviously) been the side of the last decade. This season has seen the beginning of the end of that reign. Still a great team, but the psychological dominance is evaporating.

Has the race for fifth spot been thrown wide openwith this result?

Had to do a bit of country driving all day today so listened to the entire game on RPH and thoroughly enjoyed it, great call from DB, John and Kym with BP on the sidelines.
Sounded like an awesome effort by West never giving up despite being 5 goals down at one stage, even though its bad for North I found myself cheering them on!

Any truth to what they said happened in the last quarter?
Kym said that J.Gowans got hit by friendly fire and then threw the ball at his team mate giving a free kick to West which turned into a goal, with Gowans getting plenty from the crowd on the way off wanting to go on with it with someone in the crowd.

North are half a game in the 5 but have 2 games in hand. West v North next week is vital to the bloods.
