Both sides head into this match pretty evenly matched, however Centrals have had 2 convincing wins over Adelaide this year, and have won 5 of the 6 encounters between the two sides. Will Adelaide make it 1 from 1 in SANFL finals, or will Centrals make it 2 EF wins in a row.

Depends on how many AFL players are in heard tonight Seedsman will play

I believe centrals will be very difficult to beat in this one..Dogs by 18pts.

need to see the named teams (as with every game really) first, most people know that Adelaide is a very skillful, dangerous & dynamic in open spaces team, however they do not like when the ball is on the inside & body on body pressure is applied, Roy Laird will obviously know this & plan accordingly, Central to win a bruising encounter by 4 or 5 goals


ps, congratulations to Big Phils' mate on winning the million tonight

Cam Ellis Yolmen to PLAY .. given permission by SANFL.

Adelaide have the advantage of playing on either
A home ground of sorts
Or a neutral ground

What change rooms will the SANFL finals teams be using ?
Will the Adelaide reserves team use the same change rooms the League team use in the AFL ?

Seems the right decision, CEY has played most of the year in the Crows reserves.

On Friday nights form it's doubtful he'll get picked again this year in the AFL team either, unless there's an injury to someone like Matt Crouch or Scott Thompson. He was really disappointing actually, was hoping for more from him.

The Magpies used the Power change rooms in the past 2 seasons so can't see why Adelaide can't use their AFL change rooms for Saturday's match.

I'll assume Centrals get the Redbacks rooms, Sturt the Strikers rooms and South the visitng AFL rooms on Saturday.

"Adelaide 1-12. Had planned to tip the Bulldogs until the Crows named 20 AFL-listed players"

By Warren Partland

Might have been more if Smith or Sloane was selected ...

i was told of comments made by Roy Laird during the week, i've only heard the paraphrased version, however well said Roy who said what most of us think

Adelaide in a close one.

Sounds like Lowden and Seedsman wont play for Adelaide...

Why make rules that specifically pertain to the CEY situation if you are going to break them ?

Hears that Sam Grey was not allowed to Play last season under the same rule.

So what is the justification this time?

Really the sanfl is turning into the afl's selective fairness criteria.
Pardon the pun, but level playing field for all? Not anymore.

How do the supporters of the 8 clubs keep maintaining their interest and support of their club, when they get shafted so often?

I cannot believe that Laird was even asked for a 'please explain'.

That was the worst I've seen Centrals play all season. Just weren't in it from the outset, and Adelaide had an absolute field day.

Gutted to see the season end like that.

Central just didn't seem to have any zip and didn't put Adelaide under much pressure.

Yes Centrals ordinary and Laird just needs to pull his head in and the club should order him too. It is what is it is and his immature attitude will just continue his side being not good enough. Adelaide looked good and Centrals not.
