The highly overrated Roosters were brought back to earth today by a near full-strength Bulldogs outfit. North Adelaide learnt the hard way that you can't be serious Premiership contenders with 7 or 8 rejects from other clubs and a dickhead coach. This 123-point victory was as comprehensive as you can get. In fact, this was the equal highest ever winning margin for Centrals at Prospect, matching the 123-point spanking we dished out to the Roosters in 2003. But the funniest moment of the day was provided by the keen fellow who stole the match ball (pictured above) with a few minutes to go in the last quarter. This guy even had the audacity to bounce the ball as he ran off with it! This is local footy at its best.
