In a few days time, I'm only just getting over the Sturt match.

I look forward to it.

As I do this game and a win, hopefully, by at least 159 points.

[Dogwatcher]

A win, I'll grant you a chance of

[JK]

Ah the art of compromise, good to see you're maturing in your relationship lads

[doggies4eva]

Norwood have got a quality mid-field and in my view was the reason we lost last time.

But we didn't have Boyd in the team then and he is starting to hit his straps so this game will be interesting as I would expect this to be important on the larger oval.

Boyd played in Rd 11 at Norwood. He had 6 kicks, 5 marks, 10 handballs and 5 tackles.

If Norwood win: they get to sing their club song at Elizabeth for the 2nd time this year...

Ahh, nothing like dropping out the same old bait. Ironically, none of you have been able to confirm your accusation despite the fact it has been denied. Seems you just like to keep rolling it out on the basis that if it's said often enough, people might actually believe it. You're just lucky that Norwood and SANFL great Thomas Seymour Hill actually (enthusiastically) let you apply to join the SANFL in the first place.

In any case, CDFC must have the Grand Old Flag song ringing in their ears this year - every loss you've had for premiership points in 2010 has meant that song has been sung.

Couldn't find any genuflecting photos?

Thnaks squawk. I should have checked my facts. I am hoping that he (and the other mid-fielders) have run into better form for next week's game.

We're not worthy my friend, not worthy.

I thought Boyd had actually been working in to some reasonable form for CD - I know he copped a knock to the nose last weekend but his pace is a massive asset to have on the big ground at Elizabeth. (Speaking of which, I wonder where he lives? He must have a petrol company sponsorship after all his footy-related travel to Noarlunga and Elizabeth! That must be a huge commitment for him each week).

[Dogwatcher]

Didn't you hear, the State Government's making it easier for him by making the one way road a two way road! Petrol costs cut.

[topsywaldron]

We're not worthy my friend, not worthy.

Now you're getting the hang of this.

Despite what a lot of Dogs fans think Norwood's game IMHO is better suited to a bigger ground especially when we have the ball. How their zone holds up against the better ball useage of Centrals will be where the gane is won and lost I reakon.

Should be a ripper.

Actually, you can add to that the Northern Expressway and the Tram overpass over South Rd too He must have some political clout the young fella!

[Dogwatcher]

He's done well then hasn't he?

Yeah but he could be playing at another club (or even retired) by the time those projects finish

[Grahaml]

I'd be mightily surprised if the dogs got beat. Back at home, coming off a loss and having lost against Norwood last start there's going to be no shortage of reasons to be fired up. How we structure up forward will be interesting. What we do with Sutherland will also be interesting. I expect they will forgive him one down week after 2 games I thought were fine. Gunston is surely under some pressure, if only Matt Westhoff was demanding a spot.

And perhaps playing big grounds suits Norwood more than Central, but it suits the dogs more.

Anyway, dogs by 5-6 goals for me. I think it'll be a reasonably comfortable win.

[HeartBeatsTrue]

Or perhaps the big grounds suits Central more than Norwood, but suits the legs more?

Whichever is better for Norwood I will take graham.

We didn't have Trotter.. Centrals supporters think they'll win easily by 5 goals, i hope the players have that same arrogent attitiude to another top 3 side. Maybe thats why sturt beat you the week before. There is only one reason why i have any doubt about this game and that is because it is at elizabeth. Our midfield is currently as good if not better than yours we the best defence in the competition.
