The Bloods will be up and about after recording their first win of the season, in emphatic style, with a big win over the Dogs...

The Crows SANFL side had a big loss to Port Magpies up in the Clare Valley and will be looking to bounce back with a win...

WEST v ADELAIDE

City Mazda Stadium, Richmond

Saturday Night, May 10th 2014

Curtain Raiser - State Under 18's trial (time TBC)

League @ 6:30pm

Broadcast - 1197am from 6:15pm


.

I think u/18s trial is at 1.30pm. That is followed by a women's game

Easy win here. Two in a row, some senior players back and maybe all is not lost? I still think big errors have been made regarding the start of the year and will come back to bite us in the bum later in the year.

Think this will be a close one actually! Both sides 1 from 5, both with wins over Centrals. West just.

Women's game now at 1pm they will be wearing pink to Support the McGrath foundation. u/18s/reserves from 3.30pm

Could be an interesting selection week for Crows. Thursday game for AFL side next week and a bye this week. Wonder if they will sit some out to be ready for next Thursday. Ellis-Yolmen and Martin plus Rutten and Walker could be in line for AFL selection.

Must be nearly the end for Rutten, barring injuries it looks like he will end his career in the SANFL

My Shadow hasn't commented on this game yet so if I make a comment I'm sure this will spike his interest.

Will westies win this game?

If so by how much?

Surprised they didnt drop a few of the first team down for a run. Betts, Grigg, Shaw, Kerridge, Brown, Hartigan all could have probably done with another hitout rather than a break.

Also what happened to Callinan? And who is captain when he is out? Rutten pretty obviously i guess.

well dawes was his perfect matchup last week and they went hartigan instead. Hartigan didnt have a good game but they pretty obviously want to get games into him and shaw this year, as i doubt truck plays on past this year.

Maybe against teams that play 3 big forwards like sydney he will get a game, as shaw isnt really equipped to hold down a key post, more that floating defender, but yeah i tend to agree with you, the end is certainly looking near with the truck

Benny I think the rule with the SANFL side is if you played the week before at AFL level you cant drop back to the SANFL when the AFL has a bye

Wasn't aware, thanks for clearing that up. Makes sense, as it would certainly make the crows a lot stronger.

Not as strong as when Lyons and Ellis-Yolmen spend the week diving with sharks and lazing around Port Lincoln. And to think Westies have wasted their time actually training this week. Hope we are six goals up at quarter time before they realise this is not their bye week.
