Both Aziel and Tyler produced outstanding performances in Central’s massive victory over West. Aziel capped off a dominant display by booting four goals, while Tyler added two of his own.

Umpire Abuse Must Stop
Umpires are essential to our game, yet too often they are subjected to unnecessary criticism, questioning, and abuse. This behaviour is unacceptable — and it’s driving good people away from officiating.
If this continues, we risk losing the very individuals who make our sport possible.
We are calling on all players to show respect for umpiring decisions, and on teammates to take responsibility for one another. Step in when lines are crossed. Hold each other accountable. Support the officials who give their time and effort so we can all play.
Respect for umpires is not optional — it’s fundamental to the integrity and future of our game.
Let’s work together to protect them.
Another reminder, we are still looking for umpires. Boundary, Field and Goal. Yes, it is a paid job. Contact SGFL if you are interested.
Round 12
South Augusta vs PropRisdon at Central Oval
The Lions make the trip to Port Augusta this weekend to take on South Augusta in what shapes as a fascinating contest. The Lions showed plenty of promise last weekend against the Cats, leading until half-time and continuing the encouraging form they’ve displayed in recent weeks. While they were ultimately unable to match the Cats over four quarters, their improvement has been evident and they’ll head into this clash full of confidence. South Augusta, meanwhile, trailed Port from start to finish and were never able to challenge the Doggies, falling well short against one of the competition’s benchmark sides. They’ll be looking for a much-improved performance on their home deck. With the Lions continuing to build and playing with confidence, South will need to be at their very best to avoid being overrun. Expect a hard-fought contest with plenty on the line.
Lions by a kick in a close one.
Solomontown vs West Augusta at Memorial Oval
The Cats are purring along nicely, having won seven of their last 8 matches, and it’s hard to see West causing an upset this time around. While their previous meeting was a thriller, West led for 94% of the game before West snatched a five-point victory, the form guide points to a different result this weekend. With the competition leaders taking on the fifth-placed side, the Cats should have too much class across four quarters.
The Cats comfortably.
Central Augusta vs Port at ETSA Oval
The Bloods jumped all over the Hawks last weekend, clipping their wings in a dominant display that showed the sort of form many expected from them this season. Port, meanwhile, were in control throughout their 26-point win over South, never looking seriously threatened as they continued their push at the top end of the ladder. Central will take plenty of confidence into this clash, especially on their home deck, and if the Bloods can bring the same intensity and pressure they produced last week, they are capable of giving Port a genuine scare. However, Port’s depth and class across every line should prove the difference. They’ll know they can’t afford to underestimate the improving Bloods, but with quality all over the ground, the Dogs should have enough to get the job done.
Port by 2 goals.
