We would have taken him,
We need a consistent big forward that can kick 3 to 4 goals each week.

Brilliant!.

I wonder how the new ruck rule at centre bounces will affect Harry seeing his strength is sticking his arm out at his opponent. We may have to play a tall at centre bounces and Harry at ruck contests around the ground.

BTW I couldnt log on again the norml way but found a "backdoor" glitch.

I'm hearing the Bays might have a real new Edge with their incoming coach.

It'd be a beautiful day if he lead them to a flag, but if it's a repeat of this year, it'll be Sunday, bloody Sunday all over again.

The Central District Football Club would like to welcome the signing of small forward Josh Ralph.

Ralph, 20, played for the AFL Sydney club UTS Bats in 2025. A product of the Sydney Swans Academy, Josh is talented, hardworking, tenacious, and well-skilled. Ralph is well known as one of the better small forwards currently not playing state league football, and we look forward to his football craft being put on show here at the Dogs.

Football Manager Mark Ross said the Club is thrilled to have Josh on board.

“Josh has a high work rate — he tackles with vigour, chases with determination, and fights to keep the ball inside the forward arc. A superb athlete with speed, balance, poise, and high energy, his ability to hit the scoreboard will be something we look forward to seeing. A handful of SANFL clubs enquired about Josh’s plans for 2026, and we’re delighted he’s chosen the Dogs as his new home.”

When asked about joining Central District, Josh said:

“Hey Rossy, I wanted to reach out and tell you that I’m proud to be signing with Centrals and I am looking forward to donning the red, white & blue in 2026. Thank everyone for making me feel so welcome over the last couple of days — the entire club won me and my family over very quickly.”

We wish to welcome Josh and his family to the Ponderosa.
