Rnd 1 - West v Central @ City Mazda Satdium (Thur N 28/3)

[sjt]

Not too many, some played reserves so were available like Dunne, barmby and Jenner. Others might be templeton and new unproven recruit potter. Williams was suspended. Nason injured.

[Brodlach]

Logan Hill?

Sounds like a bottle of wine...

After a very bad broken leg, he is getting better with age

[whufc]

West were missing Hartlett, Green Still and Hill. Who were the Dogs missing?

Imho once fit players that didn't play league but are in our best 21

Barmby
Williams
Sibenaler
Dunne
Potter (will be a jet)
Templeton
Jenner
Dutschke

And throw in a second ruckmen which will balance this side alot better

[Brodlach]

Cheers. Did Dutske play reserves? I rate him highly but doesn't seem in favour with Laird

Oops his another was out injured, played all 3 trial games in the league and was in our best every time

I think the Doggies lost their last three games last year, and with North, who they seem to struggle a little with, and Norwood their next two games could be six loses in a row and a 0-3 start.

what happens in a previous season is irrelevant.

Even if you win it?

[CENTURION]

of course.

Are the good enough to play Finals in 2013?

[Dutchy]

Interesting to see Michael Tuck in the crowd with Travis not playing.

of course We are.

[topsywaldron]

Conceding a ten goal quarter just doesn't happen if most players are switched on and care about their performance. It just adds to the whispers that have been floating about for a year or so that Laird's lost the players.

Interesting to see Michael Tuck in the crowd with Travis not playing.

Also spotted were Darel Hart (hiding in the family friendly section taking notes), Rob Lucas MLC and Ian Callinan...

Laird's lost the players? Not saying its wrong but its akin to saying that Nathan Eagleton didn't go to Norwood for the money.

Rob Lucas is at every West game (certainly against South). A very commited supporter.

From what I heard, the only thing stopping him signing for North was that you didn't quite have enough money left in the cap?

Not true - because we signed Matt Campbell and Jordan Wilson-King well after Nash was in discussions with North. I think a bit of persuasion by Centrals Management etc. and loyalty to his mates ultimately stopped him from what I hear?

Fair enough...

I think there was a bit of arm twisting (perhaps literally) from his brother-in-law (James Gowans) to stay at the Dogs, as well

You obviously don't know what is going on.

And you do? Only going by what an official from CDFC told me...

See Hart regularly at the footy with a notebook, not sure who he recruits for these days.

Josh Franco was there also but left 5 min into the last 1/4, had obviously seen enough of the dogs!

I'm not the one posting 2 different scenarios on the same night. ontherails is usually on the money. Although, I wouldn't mind believing Nash is being forced to play footy somewhere he doesn't want too.

The Gowans twisting his arm story was somewhat tounge in cheek. Trivial now, as it is all done and dusted...
