Game #911, Round 19, 7/8/2005
Bulldogs 24.14(158) defeated defiled Sturt 5.9(39)
Yes, the mighty Doggies dealt a serious blow to an overrated
Sturt (overrated by their coach, that is). This effort is
Central's highest ever score at Unley, Central's highest ever
winning margin at Unley, we remain unbeaten at Unley since
1985, and can I just say: "I love Unley!"
To top things off, the team looks to be in fine form, and
we even had the luxury of debuting youngster Leigh Westhoff,
who played well. Schell booted 5 to help him on his way towards
back-to-back Ken Farmer medals.

And now, a few words on crowd behaviour:
The Sturt cheersquad were doing themselves proud, with two
of the more unstable members being dealt with by Police after
a poor fellow with disabilities was set upon. They are in
dire need of anger-management counselling. But you could see
it in their faces at the start of the game - they had "hate
in their eyes", as opposed to the more relaxed and jovial
behaviour of the Centrals cheersquad camped next to them.
The Sturt cheersquad also needs some tips on how to chant
at the footy. Here's some examples of the stupid and wierd
babble that was coming from them:
"You are blue, red and white,
And your suburb sucks like shite."
"We think we're Port (clap clap clap clap),
We think we're Port (clap clap clap clap)."
The first one would have to be the dumbest chant ever heard
at the footy. It's as if a 10-tear-old was told to come up
with a chant on the spot and that was the best he could do.
The second one, well, I don't even know what it means. These
guys have simply lost the plot.
There were occasions when the Sturt cheersquad sounded like
they were talking in tongues, they were that incoherent. At
one stage, the Centrals cheersquad responded with: "We
don't know what you're talking about!", followed by a
round of laughs.
But to be fair, not all Sturt supporters are feral, babbling
wierdos with anger-management issues - it's 99% of Sturt supporters
that give the rest a bad name. |
