Off the back of a spirited win at Adelaide Oval against the Reigning Premiers, the Roosters now host the Double Blues, who had their first loss of the season, at the hands of the Eagles last weekend.

Both sides match up well and this could be a real shoot-out, much like the Sturt v Eagles game was on Sunday just gone. North have a couple of injury / suspension concerns while Sturt will lose Tom Harms to a hammy strain.


North Adelaide v Sturt

Saturday, May 3rd

Prospect Oval, Prospect

Reserves @ 11:25am

League @ 2:10pm

Broadcast Details - 1197am RPH Adelaide from 1:30pm

Crowd might be impacted a bit by the Crows game (personally I'm giving away my Adelaide Oval members passes this week as I'd rather be at Prospect) but should be a great game if not wet. Don't think the forecast is looking good though.

With North's form and coming up against the Power sloppy seconds the following week, Sturt will have to be at their best to avoid the reverse of the 3 wins in a row.

North havent really put together 4 quarters for a while. Only 1 against South, 1 against West and about 2.5 quarters against Norwood.
Will definately need a bit more consistency to get over Sturt.

North should win at home . Sturt seem to go missing for a quarter and that will be the difference as the Roosters will take full advantage of that . Good sides do.

Touch 4 weeks, beat the legs, just got done v the hybrids...next 2 will be huge and at best we win won of them...not sure which one but north at prospect is very tough. North probably favs with home ground. Go the blues, I'll be listening.

Dunno but interesting they changed their official site from him being an put to staying in. Ducks and drakes?

What's a typical size crowd between these 2 clubs?

Given that Sturt are up and about could be a decent turnout.

Crap weather, Ammos pkaying and up against the Cows might impact.

If the weather clears, and it looks like it will for the arvo, I think this may have a very healthy crowd, perhaps 5K.

Average crowd would be 3500

3,000 is likely.
