Game #938, Qualifying Final 17/9/2006 @ Adelaide Oval
Centrals 18.16(124) def. North 13.8(86)

Centrals handed out a painful lesson in finals football to a soft, naive Roosters outfit. The Dogs displayed superior skills and combined it with superior toughness and fitness to completely overwhelm the opposition. The lead blew out to 10 goals, at which point key players were rested. The final margin of ONLY 38 points was far too kind.

Perhaps North's banner was an indicator of why they performed so poorly. Perhaps, they should have spent less time "unleashing their cocks" and more time on working out how to beat the mighty Bulldogs. The onfield dominance was complimented by an overwhelming performance by the Centrals faithful behind the goals and around the ground.

The crowd was well-behaved except for an incident involving North supporters fighting amongst themselves at 3-quarter time. Hopefully another good Samaritan took pictures of these losers and forwards them to the North Adelaide Football Club. We need to do everything we can to help the Roosters deal with their unruly fans.
