SA Footy

You'd assume Sturt but I wouldn't think Centrals would be happy considering last week.

A couple of premiership players on the brink of making a return to the league side this week?

I saw we had Battersby vs South, but don't recall seeing him listed as returning.
That's a very important inclusion for us. Does anyone know how long he was out for?

...

Sturt by 12 Goals, would have been 15 but it's at Elizabeth.
Central to score 9 goals plus double figures in points, 1 goal-less quarter and many passes to the chest of Sturt players.

CENTRAL
Central coach Roy Laird will continue his mandate to bring through youth against Sturt on Saturday.

Exciting 17-year-old rover Corey Durdin – who played for the Torrens University SA U18 team at the 2019 National Championships – has been named to start in the forward pocket.

The Kevin Sheehan Medallist – who measures in at just 173cm and 70kg – is a noted ball magnet who also has a knack of kicking a goal.

Durdin has been joined in the Bulldogs’ 23-man squad by utilities Matthew Neagle and Nick Gillard, as well as wingman Matthew Neagle.

Developing trio Cooper Dahms, Jaxon Neagle and Dylan Weaver were sent back to the Reserves.

Loyal defender Luke Habel will play his 150th Statewide Super League game after making his debut in Round 1 2010.

STURT
Sturt could welcome back a premiership bigman for it trip to face Central on Saturday.

Former Geelong rookie Tom Read has been named to return for the first time since Round 3 after suffering a serious calf injury which included Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Read has been joined in the Double Blues’ 23-man squad by possible RAA Rookie Adam Trenorden (19, 177cm and 70kg), who is originally from Hahndorf FC.

Sturt by 6 goals, Very impressive last week.

Can't wait to see how Durdin goes, Absolute star at underage level and adjusts to the level he plays very quickly. Dahms probably should've played 3/4 reserves games before playing league after his injury.

I'll be there, we'll get smacked. We're undersized in defence. Robinson looks a likely type, looked
a bit nervous last week but has a bit about him. Big fella, reminds me a bit of Luke Cowan, needs to get agro and splatter packs.

Good move by Roy to abandon ship

What happened with the reversal free?

Soft off the ball free kick against doggies when coming out of defence.

It was silly but hardly worth a reversal.

Steven Slimming... match winning acting. This guy is an outright tool. Week after week he antagonises and irritates and when players react he makes every effort to be seen as a victim. The umpires need to understand this passive aggressive freak should not be believed.
If memory serves me correct 3 maybe 4 opposition players have been reported for "belting" this guy this season. I am sure opposition players would have little respect for his actions. He isnt going to change his ways but hopefully the umpires will realise hes playing them as fools.

He is 60kg wringing wet and a good player . What has happened is teams now pay him attention and try and shut him down and a lot is off the ball and they get caught. Centrals went in with a plan but forgot about the ball at times .

Acting and antagonises people lol. Reckon we all saw a couple of Centrals players like that in there era .
