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.

Another game another big loss coming up for us 8 goals at least

Congratulations to Kirkwood, a quality player with both Port and Sturt.

Double Blues will be too strong here and have a comfortable victory.

They will be far to good we wont win another game this season

Disappointing loss today but the boys tried their hearts out

Closer then most predicted. Dogs unlucky to lose

We were a bit unlucky but that is the sort of footy we have asked for all season apart from the result.
