YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU DOGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
If we weren't before, we're now officially a mother****ing colossus. Nice to make up for the Duddle Blues fluking one against us. We'll win this by 10 goals.

The SANFL Grand Final has become the most pointless event in sport.

Not sure you'd say that if it was Norwood in our position mate?
I understand the frustration of other fans but you've gotta respect what we've done after being the basket case of the league for so long.
dogs look home and what a run they have. 8 flags in 10 years

What a rotten day.
No I don't. I don't "have" to do anything. Forgetting who played in the finals, and who won them, the past decade of SANFL Grand Finals as sporting contests have been totally devoid of excitement.
10 years of boring one sided Grand Finals. Crap.
Oh Diddums !!! Come on you Doooooogs !!!!!!!
Agree with you AH, it has completely ruined the competition, you cant have one team at the top for 10 years and expect people to continue to turn up, the fact that this game still draws 30,000 is an absolute credit to the product but it can t go on. The fact that "SMACK" says he can understand the other fans frustration shows that it has also lost a bit of its gloss for the CDFC, no way is there the same excitment as there was when they won there first couple. It is now just arrogance, the fact the centrals chant went up when they were only 16pts up shows that. I respect that a club can win 8 premierships and play in 10 straight grand finals, but the fact is more and more people are walking away because why turn up when one team just dominates. I can tell you now, how special is it gonna be when centrals plays in its 15th straight grand final in 2014 and 8000 people turn up. other clubs have gotta step up but for f*cks sake can some other clubs take over for a while.

Firstly, waaaaaahhh 
God that was painful. Centrals took charge halfway through the first quarter and basically controlled play until half time, building up a match winning lead. Second half a bit of an arm wrestle but we never threatened them at all. The last quarter was basically a 30 minute victory celebration for their fans.
How can a team dominate ten years in a competition that has a salary cap? What the heck are the rest of us doing? It's embarrassing and certainly diminishes the excitement and profile of the competition.

If Sturt didnt cough up leads in the last 2 qualifying finals and the Bays in Second Semi fair chance the Dogs might not have even made the last two GF's.
Alas they did and are too good. Credit where credits due, Roy Laird is a master.

The recipe to Centrals success isn't rocket science but the other 8 clubs aren't taking notice.
Why SANFL clubs take on AFL rejects who chase the dollar is beyond me. Centrals look for the best talent in other states competitions. (Goodrem - NSW under 18's, Callinan -Tasmanian B&F)
They also look for a particualr type of person. Generally it is hard working and selfless.
I must say, the AFL has been pretty predicatable and boring now that Geelong have been in the Grand Final 3 years in a row!!!!!

bad game, good crowd today though.......
There will be 30,000+ rock up in 2014 if the Dogs play in 15th straight. I read somewhere the crowd was 35,000 today. Its more than in previous years from memory.
If Centarsl are good enough to play in 10 in a row, thats no one else fault but the rest of the comp. They need to step it up. Centrals havent finished top last two seasons in a row, but have still jumped the Bays at the first opportunity they get in the finals. We arent dominating the whole season. When it counts, our wealth of modern day finals experience comes to the fore
Congratulations Central District! Have to give credit where credit is due. Not even we (Port Adelaide) played in 10 straight GF'S in the 80's or 90's. The roles have completely reversed, Central now are the most feared club in SA! Port Adelaide are a dead basketcase now. That was hard to admit.

Can anyone give me a brief run down on the result today? Us Victorians didnt get to have a look at the big gig, thanks for f#ck all ABC you sub standard organisation that you are.............ABC get it in your "please yourself heads" that most football people in Australia want to see the SANFL and WAFL grand finals.
Instead of "build it and they will come", its a case of "televise it and they will view". Dont think the ABC quite grasp the fact that even though its the South Australian GF that a number of players play that arnt actually from SA.
UN f#CKING HAPPY.........

Pokies Revenue = CDFC Success, Enough Said
Those who cannot see a correlation between $$$ made off-field, in this case the Central Club boasting record profits from Elizabethan Pokies Fiends, with success on-field are living in denial.

Congrats to Centrals, played well and deserved the win. Sturt piss farted around with the ball way too much and some of their passing was under 10's standard.
But their fans are more feral than even Port fans dare to be. Bringing flares to a football match? What is this, Italy? One even tried to pick a fight with me as we were leaving just because I called him on his bottle of beer he had in his hand. I know now why they only charge $25 to get in to the grand final. So the feral unemployed w***ers from Elizabeth can afford to get in.
Oh Delta, I know your brother plays for them but how on earth can you support Centrals?

Much more comfortable to believe that than to face the reality that their club simply does everything better. That would be tough to stomach.
Let's go with the salaray cap cheating angle. Works for me
What are you talking about? We (Port) don't even play in the same competition as Central. You also seem to be a Bombers, not Port, fan.
