On another thread a dog's man said Centrals, despite dominating, have not played as well. Games I have seen so far have reminded me a little of the mid to late nineties where the ball seemed to be turned over a bit more. I may be wrong just what I seem to remember.

We are a 10 goal better team than WA.
Where are all the central players in this team..?

All that takes time to gel and is still a work in progress despite a few good wins in recent weeks.
It is early days and North may come up in a similar vein, Norwood better pull their finger out soon to live up to pre-season expectations.
The Eagles have exceeded media expectations and still obviously on the last 2 weeks have improvement to go.
The Doggies have merrily continued along and (I will stand corrected) but only 1 in their last 10.
Reckon we will see how it will start to pan out by 5 or 6 more rounds.
Hopefully a few of the 5 teams that can realistically challenge the Dogs will improve.
I am of course hoping the Bluebaggers are one of them.

Having said that, there have been some highly entertaining, quality contests of football so far this year and as most sides start to settle down I think we will se plenty more to come and the quality level will slowly be on the increase.
The Norwood v Centrals game at Coopers was a great, high standard, free flowing, high scoring game of footy, while the recent Centrals v Port game was also a very enjoyable spectacle with a good standard of footy played.
I think Centrals have maybe improved a little on last year but still have a long way to go to reach their best whilst other sides are not even close to firing on all cylinders in terms of consistancy and like I say, I think the best is yet to come.

The standard has definatley gone down, but that may be due to the competition being a bit tighter this season therefore more pressure and defensive tactics applied, meaning the skills are harder to apply.

But whufc, if there is more pressure and defensive tactics applied then that means that the standard has gone up! for example I thought that the dogs played reasonable well (considering it is still early in the season) against Norwood. Norwood nearly won by playing 4 quarters of good footy. Where that went last week when they played Glenelg I don't know but then Port came out and challenged the doggies. Make sme think other sides are improving but inconsistant.
