Match being broadcast on Digital Pass

Central District has been forced into at least three changes for its must-win clash with West on Saturday.
Key defender Nick Madden (finger), utility Jordan Furnell (hamstring) and promising midfielder Brendan Dew (knee) were all unable to be considered for selection.
Former Norwood backman Ryan Llewellyn is in line to replace Madden while utilities Sam Hanna and Frazer O’Gorman give coach Roy Laird some flexibility.
Goalsneaks Isaya McKenzie and Michael Ortiz could provide some punch inside 50m with Ortiz, set to play his first League game for the club after moving from Port Adelaide in the off-season.

West Adelaide has been dealt a defensive blow ahead of its contest against Central on Saturday.

Watching nearly a half of Reserves footy at Elizabeth. 3 players behind the ball, all players camped in one half.

Diabolical.

Terrible football to watch.

Central Reserves beat West by 3 points. Terrible boundary umpire decision key to result. Out on full by a fair say, called mark to Central

That was ugly to watch at times but Centrals come away with the win 7.12 to 5.4

Long year for westies

Probably West's worse game for a fair while. They looked slow and Central waltzed through a lot of their tackles.

It was the sort of game where there was never more than a couple of goals in it, but Central always looked like winning in the second half

A few Bloods might have an earlier start next week.
,

12 goals kicked on a decent day for footy. Sounds dull.

It was. It wasn't a good game to watch. I worry about the way footy's going as a spectacle.

Yep, 80 is the new 100 as far as a 'decent score' is concerned.

Happy we got the win,but everytime we play West the games are low scoring dull boring encounters and terrible to watch.

It wasn't boring last year

Have to give credit where its due
WA are the only side to have scored more goals than points in the 4 matches played so far this round
