Game #973, Round 13, 28/6/2008, Woodville Oval
Centrals 5.8(38) def. by Eagles 18.14(122)

Taking absolutely everything away from the Eagles, the Dogs played their worst game of football since the turn of the century. The Dogs were slow, disinterested and completely skill-free. Tackles didn't stick, the turnovers were soft and we were a good metre off the pace all day. Talk about frustrating to watch. We were crap and it made a very ordinary Eagles side look good. Please tell me this performance was caused by a hard week on the training track.

Stats:
First time the Eagles have beaten Centrals since the 2006 Grand Final.
Central's biggest loss to the Eagles.
The first time Centrals has lost 2 games in a row since rounds 14 to 16 (bye round 15) in 2006.
