2008 SANFL League GF Central v Glenelg

[FlyingHigh]

Moving Schell to the forward line was as simple as flicking the switch, the team is more dangerous with him up forward.

.

I wondered last week whether this was a last-minute decision when the Dogs found out Sherwood wouldn't play, and the Bays had to rob their forward line by putting Kirkby in defence.

Glenelg's first few minutes today were complete opposite to the nervous, jittery approach of last week, which set the trend for each game. We know what we'll get from the Dog's, what we get from the Bays will decide this match.

If the bays play the GF the way they played today, they could very well win. The problem also could be that i dont think the dogs will play like sturt did today. Sturt were terrible under pressure today, which is something the dogs strive on.
To be perfectly honest i think todays outcome was a blessing for the dogs, a young and inexperienced glenelg side coming up against the masters of pressure and toughness could really unsettle the bays early.
I think this game could be won or lost in the first quarter.
My prediction : DOGS by 38 pts.

Obviously!
As for dogs01, i would'nt get to far ahead of myself if i was you.
Have you ever had egg over your face?

without going into technicalities (pseudo) perhaps race 1 no 1 at globe derby tomorrow is an omen bet

[baysman]

Just great to see Glenelg have a great year and make the G.F.

You never know. We are a chance, and I hope we get over the line.

Happy beyond belief tonight !

i hope no one at your club feels the same was as you tonight. If they do they might as well give the flag to the dogs now.

I hope Central smash the bays like they did to us today just because i dislike central less then i dislike glenelg.

Someone will win by 9 points, an amount that adds up to 9 points, or an amount that is divisible by 9, you'll see!

apparently Hallmark have recieved a large order for their finest Sympathy Cards....
They couldn't quite read the delivery address though, as it was smudged.

Not quite sure but is the middle word "Venereal"? Geez Punky, you're gonna have a BALL*this week!

Ha ha just say divisable by 9 as all the possible divisables by 9 (except for 99) adds up to 9 anyways....

9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81,90,108,117,126,135,144 etc etc

Had plenty of egg on my face over the years.
Not getting ahead of myself, just making a prediction like everyone else.

Don't feel like you're alone, I too have had plenty of egg on my face over the years - I think it's because when I make Egg and Bacon sangers, I like my egg a bit runny.

Congratulations to both the clubs and supporters of the Dogs and Bays, commiserations to Sturt, one of the 3 clearly best teams had to miss out unfortunately.

I think the Bays have the ability to more than match it with the Dogs, but ability is only one component ... The mental pressure of the big day and how you cope with it is pretty huge and of course we all know the Dog's are the masters at that.

For that reason, at the moment I would expect the Dogs to get over the line but I certainly wouldn't rule the Bays out.

Should be a great game and great occasion and best of luck to both teams.

[Mic]

Very interesting match up for this week. The Bays have been very good all year, the Dogs not so much. The Bays are the younger team (and quicker?), the Dogs are the more experienced (by far) team. Centrals will be fresh after the week's break, but so should the Bays after virtually no opposition yesterday. I would think that Centrals would be the favourites (just) based on their finals record and the result the last time they played each other, but the Bays are certainly capable of winning.

[Dogwatcher]

I think the emergence of O'Hara, Moss and to some extent Williams has certainly allayed some of my concerns about pace in the Dogs' line-up.

I reckon it's a 50/50 proposition at this point?

What are the Bays injury concerns at this point? I heard Ty Allen was sore...

Also, what's the latest on Adam Switala, is he a chance?

[Bluedemon]

it should be a very good game, the way glenelg played today they were awesome. if they can bring that game to AAMI this sunday they will push the dogs to play the best they can. DONT FORGET PEOPLE, DAYLIGHT SAVINGS STARTS THIS SUNDAY, CLOCKS GO FORWARD 1 HOURS FROM 2AM SUNDAY MORNING.

[Dogwatcher]

Thanks for the reminder Kookas.
That makes life a little more difficult!
