I think the Eagles, Port, West, South and Norwood would all disagree to that whufc
Norwood, Port, South irrelevant, West and Eagles both very up and down.
Sturt have been able to smash (and i mean smash) the good sides like Centrals at home but when facing them outside of Unley they have struggled to even get victories against these sides at other venues.
Against North at Unley Sturt were very competitive and only lossed by a couple of points while at Prospect they were belted by 80+ points.
Even South this year at home you smashed them by 80+ points and if i remember people posts they felt Sturt could have won by a lot more. Then down at Noarlunga you only just got past them by 9 points in a game which many thought South deserved to win.
Last year was the same against Central, beat them very very comfortably on 2 occasions at Unley, only to lose twice in a row against the Dogs outside of Unley.
Just an observation and i guess will know a bit more after this finals series.
Centrals efforts away from home have been no better than Sturt's this year. Sturt have, overall, played well away from Unley and exceedingly well at Unley.
Just my observations...
Agree Centrals away efforts have been fairly ordinary this year, but we have a proven record in finals and have a great record at home which is very similar in size and shape to Aami Stadium. I don't think that it's just a coincidence that our Aami Stadium record since the afl's inception is very good.
