Port's inclusion actually add's quite a bit to the finals race, as following your model there Wedgie (which I agree with for the first week at least ) Port v Central would be an interesting 1st Semi as Port aren't a bad matchup on the Dogs.

The one thing we can all agree on is that crowd and interest wise especially with both SA AFL teams being already knocked out it'll be the most exciting and widely covered finals here since the Crows hav been in probably.
Ideally the Dogs will get knocked out asap to keep the interest up and get big crowds but Im not sure if that'll happen.

Good call .. Would also think that there shouldn't be any massive thumpings likely to occur among that group, so should make for some fantastic spectacles.

Yeah come on Phil get your act together.
But I like you letting the others fantasize about what you think WILL happen because deep down we know that it WONT .
What you HOPE will happen is probably closer to reality. :D

CENTRALS will have to make history to win the 2008 flag
They have never ever beaten the other 4 sides left in the finals race

If Central can beat Sturt 3 times in a month and Beat Glenelg along the way I would think it would be classed as there greatest premiership and finals campaign ever! Would Dogs fans agree?

It would certainly be a well deserved flag if they can do it and how they play in the finals I wouldn’t put it past them.

I think he's saying Central have never beaten Glenelg, Sturt, Port or Norwood in a Grand Final mate.
They've only beaten North, Eagles or West.
