tough ask for the kid and hope he goes alright if he matches up on him....i tell ya tho, we def need someone to stop him if we have a chance to win.

[westies sarge]

all im saying is that wiggo needs 2 concentrate on the game and lose it if he stuffs up just keep playing and put it out of your mind and same with galea

[therisingblues]

Blockbuster start to the round, and a real indicator of where both sides are at. It has all been trials, and pre-season rumours up until now. With no real form to go on it's just guesswork as to how 8th and 9th from last year have developed in relation to each other. So going on that alone I have no cause to tip against Sturt, and only one reason to tip for them and that is based purely on faith. GO YOU BLUES!!!!
Sturt by 35 points.

[sturt1]

The weather might play a part in this game too. I think west have a taller side overall, but I believe if the ball is played on the ground due to the conditions it be to the Blues advantage. The Sturt runners will get more than enough of the footy to win.

Jimmy, for mine this is a really good looking Sturt side. Bowen and Eckermann really need some time in the reserves for their confidence, whilst Jarvis can probably consider himself a tad unlucky. The other change I would think is on the cards would be Greg Bentley coming in from the Power. He has been named on an extended interchange for Port but I can't see him getting a game.

Interchange bench will probably be, at an educated guess;

DeLuca
Lee
Bratton
Bentley

I could be very wrong, but if Bentley does become available it poses a headache for the match committee.

I am confident of victory.

You are. 3 persons to an interchange bench in SANFL.

Also, Turner should be on Sturt's somewhere based on trial-game form.

No Cupido to worry about now either. Should be a good barometer for the season.

Go the Blues!

Nup not playing, a few Westies players have been up to no good, who would have thunk it when Westies fans told us he'd changed his way?

Mate, just check out the thread on here about West's "Alleged" Problems.
Being a mod you even have access to the thread I deleted that was even more provocative!

[sturt1]

turner is a journey man.
came over here back in 2002 to play for south adelaide.
then i think went back to canberra to play, then back here for the eagles and is now off to sturt.
i cant be sure if he played anywhere between canberra and eagles, or eagles and sturt.
a real club man and picked himself up the nickname 'tickets' for his obvious opinion of himself.

Every team has journeymen as you call them. Others call them recruits, rejects, money men etc. Point is this bloke is playing for us now. So we will take him. If thats ok?

Cupidoll out - Ryan Willis in (dont know if he has signed up yet or just playing with west cause his team has bye)

He has signed with West. In any case, if it was a bye situation, he'd be playing for the bottom Reserves team from last year.
