The flag favorites travel to Sturt to open their season with a new coach.

Sturt beat Glenelg in the first week of trials. Not sure how strong each side was.

Sturt have recruited strongly and for me the pick up of Frederick was not only a surprise but a coup. Glenelg have also got a boom recruit in James Bell and I will watch with interest in how former South ruckman Cam McGree goes.

This should be a close one in front of a good crowd.

Early tip Glenelg.

g'enelg but not by much

Sturt by a couple of goals

strut $2.20
glenelg $1.60

Sturt will be using their superb new function room facility and no doubt boosting their hospitality budget in the process.
On field difficult to see a Blues win.
Glenelg have the key forwards in McBean, Reynolds and Hosie and a midfield that Sturt struggle to contain, based on last few years. Perhaps the gap is narrowing however.

Should be a good game between two very good sides
Toss of the coin possibly Sturt only because its at Unley

Sturt by 4 goals at Unley

Sturt definitely flying under the radar this year imo

Expecting us to get up in a close one

Sturt were big improvers in the last half of the year once they all brought into Mattners plan

Bays by 7 goals

Bays by 10pts.

Glenelg 15+

Just want Sturt to kick a few more goals on average than last year and move the ball efficiently and quickly when possible.

looking at our bench, 3 regular league players fom last year will miss out

$turt $2.08 Bays $1.75

Sturt 10.8

Glenelg 5.7

Last 1/4

Skill errors killed us four goals at least from direct turnovers.

Flag favourites go down. Strut too good.

Put a hold on the premiership merch!

I think we lost this game on Tuesday night when went for Leck instead of one of Searle, Stagg or Gerloff. To top heavy.

85% of our F50 entries waltzed straight out.
