Sturt by 35

Since the bye apart from 3rd quarter against Port and last quarter against North we have been ordinary .In both of those quarters we moved the ball quickly and played well ,
We will need to seriously improve to challenge Sturt and somehow change the way we play against them,,with only 2 wins in our last 20 games we need to find a way to beat them .

We've been really poor at clearances. Now with Dittmar out for an extended period (potentially year), we'll need to somehow address this.

He has easily been the best of our recruits this season hes been so consistent will be a big out

huge game for the dogs, if they lose and glenelg win the double chance is probably gone

Two weeks I am hearing.
Liddy also a week or so away.

Sadly Ethan Easts attempt to play this year have fallen at the final hurdle.

We could win our next three and still not make double chance.
Conversely we could lose all three and not lose our finals spot.

Next 3 gamed for the Dogs is more about fine tuning and getting the right combination on the park.

Sturt by 5 goals

You are very kind.

Will do well to get that close with the way we have been playing and our terrible record against Sturt .

A couple of good ones back in to balance the loss of Grivell and Fahey-Sparks.

I reckon we'll be lucky to get within 10 goals of Sturt!
Flag favourites they are.

Strut by 39pts.

Sturt are going so easily they can leave Page out of their side,
Even with him Fahey-Sparks and Grivell out that is an exceptional side who will be way to good for us

You blokes are talking it down harder than even the Bays guys did on here a few weeks ago.
