One goal the difference with about 2 minutes left.

This could be a DRAW!!!

Goal to Norwood - 14 points down at 17 minutes.

Dogs get their first against the wind and lead by 20 points - 12 minutes in. Redlegs haven't goaled since the middle of the second quarter.

Still 14 points down. Can't kick a goal.

There goes the bell. Central District 9.11.65 v Norwood 7.6.48

Centrals by 11 points late in the third. Legs need to hold on for the next few minutes and then come home with a stiff breeze.

Spoke too soon. His opponent puts Centrals in front by 3 points.

Two goals to Centrals brings them to within 3 points about 10 minutes into the third quarter. Draftwatchers might be interested in a mature small defender Paul Puopolo who is having a good day in the back pocket.

Half Time and Norwood holds a 17 point lead:- Norwood 7.4.46 v Centrals 4.5.29 Goals Norwood Davis 2, Rowe, Terlich, Shenton, Phillips, Trotter. Centrals Callinan, Jenner, C. Gowans, Schell

Fantastic scenes here in Adelaide as Norwood kicks six goals in the first 18 minutes of the second term thanks to a strong breeze at their backs. Norwood 7.3.45 v Centrals 4.2.26

Centrals had the advantage of the breeze in the first quarter and opened up an 18 point lead. Centrals 4.1.25 Norwood 1.1.7

Junior's career may not yet be over according to The Australian - Carlton is circling James McDonald who has a bit of run left in those ageing legs.

Stood up!

According to this piece in today's HUN we won't be doing much at all this year -

Here's a bio: Mitchell is a key position forward who played four matches for Vic Metro in the 2008 NAB AFL Under-16 Championships and also two games for Calder in the TAC Cup at the end of that season. In 2009 he played 12 matches for Calder and was instrumental in their success. His 28 goals ranked him equal 14th on the TAC Cup goal kicking ladder and his 80 marks at an average of 7 per match was elite, which included 26 contested and 21 on the lead.

Meanwhile, over at Dockerland, they're not quite thinking like that:2011premiership rehearsal goes badly

ZEPHI SKINNER Next year's Wizard.

Good idea and it would work for both clubs because North Ballarat are affiliated with our opponents for the twilight game in North Melbourne
