Game #898, Round 4, 17/4/2005
Centrals 15.14(104) def. Port 13.13(91)

There's nothing like the taste of raw Magpie at Alberton Oval. But the meal was soured by injuries to McCabe (hamstring) and Ware (knee?). Like the South match last week, Centrals had to play a game of footy with one arm in a sling. At least this time the Dogs found a way to win. I just hope we've got a few players left come finals time.

Bello, Slade and Steinberner were into everything. Schell also stood out kicking 7 goals - not a bad effort considering he spent some time in defence. Here's a couple of his goals:

Some stats: 104 points is Central's highest score at Alberton for 12 years. We've now beaten the Magpies in the last 4 outings, which equals Central's longest winning streak against Port.
