Round 16: Eagles v Centrals - Saturday 20 July @ Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval

Eagles v Centrals

Saturday 20 July
Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval

Reserves: 11:25am
League: 2:10pm

Last time they met

Round 9 @ Playford Alive Oval

Centrals 14.11.95
Eagles 8.12.60

The Eagles are coming off a convincing loss to West, while Centrals are coming off a scrappy win over South. Will the Eagles bounce back at home, or will Centrals make it 3 wins on the trot?

Centrals will be looking for 3 in a row and keeping their 5 spot alive. WWT will not put in another performance like last week at their home ground. Eagles by 2 - 3 goal at the siren

dare i say it, yep it is a 4 point match, i'll say Wwt by 2 goals but this is a match that i need to see the named teams to make a more accurate assessment

Turned out to be a cracking match,

Woodville-West Torrens 10.8 (68)

def

Central Districts 8.8 (56)

Did the WWT players wear black armbands in honour of Mulva ?

Not that I could see

Well done Eagles lost Hall to a broken wrist . Youngsters did well . Always a hard game against the Dogs !!
Eagles have beaten every side in the five except West !!!
And Dogs beat west two weeks ago funny that

And has anyone seen a field and boundary umpire over rule a gaol umpire before ? As was the case just before the siren went

Were they right to do so, micky?

Good tip, Bayman.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they didn't, Scrappy?
DB and Pete Smith spoke about him in the half time break, though...

DB arranged Pete to come up and have a chat at half time of the RPH coverage today, seeing as though Pete is not on the Eagles board anymore, so he was able to make comment about the AFL reserves debate.

Actually spoke to Mick Godden post game and he said it was a broken thumb for Hally. Said it was pretty nasty and the bone had popped through the skin. Mick was very satisfied with the win...

Also mentioned, along with Hall's injury, Andrew Ainger was carrying a back injury, Jarred Allmond has hurt his knee pretty bad but was jabbed up and put to full forward, Matt Goldsworthy was as crook as a dog at half time, vomiting quite severely, Angus Rowntree jagged his groin, Craig Parry copped a heavy head knock and Luke Powell and Patrick Giuffreda carried injuries into the game.

Mick said he was very proud of the boys to get the win under those circumstances...

Good tip, Bayman.

The goal umpire has the final decision - no-one can overrule the goal umpire, however they can consult if the goal umpire is unsure.

Nothing. He wasn't there, mate. Crook as a dog and could hardly talk on Friday.

lucky it didn't affect the result!!
Neither boundary or field umpire were in position Goal umpire signalled out on the full .
But was over ruled and appeared to be told it was a point !!

As I said it didn't affect the result . Was a tough day for the umps a free in one quarter for the dogs in their forward line . Took an age for 2 umpires to work out where the free was to be taken !!

If the goal umpire indicated out on the full, then it's in the boundary umpires' domain. If he says for certain it's not and it's a behind, then it's a behind. However if there was that much confusion, then they probably should have decided the lesser score anyway - out on the full.

they over ruled him Spelly but it didn't affect the end result
