GLENELG
Glenelg coach Matt Lokan has swung the changes for the clash with the Eagles at Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval on Sunday.
The Bays could blood two possible debutants in midfielder Elliot Chalmers and forward Jake Pitt, who have both been added to the 23-man squad.
Chalmers (19, 183cm and 83kg) is from Morphettville Park and has been named in the centre square while Pitt (21, 190cm and 83kg) is on the five-man extended interchange bench.
Jonty Scharenberg, Jed Redden, Michael Galley, Josh Koster and Brad Merrett have also returned to the Tigers’ League line-up which must be trimmed by two before the bounce.
Star midfielder Matt Snook will miss the rest of the season with a minor knee injury which won’t require surgery while defender Brad Agnew (hip) may have also played his last game of 2016.
Veteran forwards Clint Alleway and Ruory Kirkby have retired while Dylan Reinbrecht has been sent to the Reserves.

Hoping for the upset, but Eagles should prevail comfortably.

[Magellan]

Eagles comfortably methinks.

[another grub]

The eagles to top of a Sellar season and win well

[am Bays]

Eagles too old and slow

Bays youthful enthusiasm and zest

Bays to win

[Magellan]

The eagles to top of a Sellar season and win well

To be fair, it's West who've had the Sellar season.

The Eagles will be Boyd about the prospect of finals, although a Hayes of overconfidence could Koster the minor premiership. Howard that feel? Whoever from the Eagles misses out can amuse themselves in the Poole Hall.

No grave ainger of that happening. I wundke what the final margin will be.

I wundke what the final margin will be.

It'll be in the Press on Monday.

[human_torpedo]

I would say this is getting ridiculous if I didn't actually enjoy it so much

[Magellan]

If it wasn't for all this punnery sadly there'd be no discussion at all.

Woodall people who love the SANFL start posting! That said, there's a lot of Merrett in making the odd joke, although Sumner better than others.

Historically, the Bays would be putting in a Super effort and wouldn't be Copping any intimidation or blows to the Kidney. Hopefully Lokan can Marshall the boys for a stirring effort and enjoy a beer or even a Jameson after the game.

(Hingeworthy...)

Back in the day the Bays could Stringer a few goals together and Kruse to a win, then knock off a Garton after the game. How things have changed, nowadays a lot of fans are dropping the Seebohm.

All happening at Woodville today.

Sick as a dog at home go Eagles

[ferret]

Glenelg - just a mob of thugs and junk yard dogs. They were pathetic. A sorry state of affairs at the Bay if that's the sort of crap they have to serve up.

[another grub]

Lokan wanted some fight

[goddy11]

Is there any updates re: James Boyd. Looked to be targeted by the Bay players. I read somewhere he came off holding his arm like he may have broken it.
