R14 - North v Adelaide @ Prospect

[Dutchy]

NORTH
North Adelaide has regained Joe Anderson for its crucial clash with Adelaide at Prospect Oval on Saturday.
Needing victory to stay in the race for the top five, the Roosters should benefit from the presence of Anderson, who has been sidelined since Round 10 with a hamstring strain.
Midfielders Jake Liston and Billy Lloyd have also been included in the 23-man squad, which must be trimmed by two before the bounce.
Key back Sam Wundke and running defender Michael Virgin have been sent back to the Reserves.
Full forward Mitch Harvey will play his 50th IGA League match.

Hope the Roosters can knock off the PoSAs for a myriad of reasons, least of all because North need a win to stay in touch with the five.

Despite being at Prospect I won't be making the short trip to attend. I'll be watching the federal election instead because at least that involves two teams who are both trying to win.

Roosters by 37 points

Seems like months since I've seen North. It's like the season is starting again!

[Wolf Pack]

North will win.
It's a fairly weak Adelaide team and Ricky Henderson will be another out.

[johntheclaret]

North will play with passion and grit
Adelaide reserves do t seem that much up for it these days.
Congratulations to Mitch Harvey for his 50th game, well done lad. Guide the Roosters to a 30-35 point victory

Unfortunately, I think the fast improving North will win this one by 4-5 goals. Having said that I've been hopeless at picking Adelaide in the SANFL, so may that form continue.

Go u Roosters !

Carn the Cocks!!!

Good the see the Crow's reserves' captain promoted from the Crow's reserves' reserves into the squad. He might be lucky enough to make the final 22, or even start on the field! Imagine that.

Would love to hear his pre-game address to his team-mates.
