Skill errors "dogged" Centrals for most of the game but they were still able to manage another Norwood demolition. No Cowan and no Schell? No problems: Cameron Faulkner and Matthew Westhoff made their league debuts in impressive fashion.

The Dogs were only 15 points up at quarter time and half time, but would have been up by 10 goals if not for the silly errors. Norwood got within 6 points in the 3rd quarter, but then the Dogs managed to string a few passages of play together and kicked away to a 71-point win.

We may have some photos later, so stay tuned.

Funniest moment of the night was seeing a couple of Norwood supporters getting reported by the Police for smuggling alcohol into the ground. They weren't the only ones to smuggle alcohol into the ground. However, they were the only ones drinking from distinctive green bottles of yuppie beer. Sorry lads, a bit obvious!
