Round 16 Preview - Norwood v Centrals @ Coopers Stadium

[Squawk]

I'm actually pretty interested in what has been done out there - if anyone is going to the launch on Sunday it'd be good to get a report from a boundary rider and possibly a few pics (similar to the topic on the South Adelaide development).

Yes, he was the builder in charge of the project. That's how I got my spot in the corporate box the other week!

Squawk, there are some pics on the Dogs website of the construction phase. I can get additional info from Dad if you think you would find it useful - pm any questions you want me to ask.

Guys could try to keep this thread about the game.

You can always start a new thread in the GD forum if you want to discuss wasting water in swimming pools etc.

Thanks
JAS

For those that are interested, here is Centrals reserves side. A few league premiership players running around in the side tomorrow as well (*)...

RESERVES:
Aufderheide*, Boyle, Brading, Dimasi, Duncan, Dunne, Foldesdy, Giles, C.Gowans*, Hynes, Kelly, McGee, McShane, Officer, Porter, Sharpe, Spurr, Steinberner*, Whiley, White

From what I can gather, M.Westhoff and ruckman E.Shaw will come into this side from the extended bench in the league squad meaning probably young Under 19's lads Dunne and Foldesdy might just miss out. The side looks pretty good this week, hopefully they can get back in the winners circle with a few senior blokes back in the side. Obviously most weeks the reserves side will have a few changes, which can be sometimes dictated by league selection, and this week is no different with, from what I can see, up to 5 changes.

As far as I can remember, a couple of outs from last weeks losing side to Port Adelaide are Barmby, Baldwin, McGrath, Trevena and Cole while young state U/18's lad Hynes, league star C.Gowans, Sharpie and veteran Steinberner come in, along with the couple of lads on the extended bench like I mentioned earlier. Does anyone know the reason behind a few of the outs, injury or form perhaps ? Also what's up with 1 league gamer Brodie Hudson, is he injured ???

[smac]

Huddo is injured, not sure on any of the others.

Yes, well done again ME...

As I look out my window this morning and catch a glimpse of the light towers 500 metres down the Parade from Coopers Stadium, the blue sky and minimal cloud looks somewhat promising for the day ahead. Although I think there is afternoon showers forecast, lets hope for football sake, there is only small sprinkles throughout the game and then when I've walked home and in the comfort of my house, it can then absolutely piss down for all the farmers and resevoirs.

I'm really looking forward to the day ahead, in particular getting down for the ressies to see Chris Gowans having his first run in about 11 or 12 weeks. I think the league game is going to be a beauty as well and really hope the Dogs are switched on for a big challenge come 2pm. I think we will have just a bit too much class and strength around the ball and up forward, especially our crumbing capabilities which could be a huge factor if it gets wet. Bring on 11.15am
