STURT

Sturt midfielder James Battersby is poised to play his first Macca’s League game of the season against Norwood on Saturday.

Sidelined since injuring his finger tendon in a trial match against Port, Battersby racked up 38 disposals and 13 tackles in the Reserves last Sunday.

The former Crows rookie has been joined in the 23-man squad by premiership defender Tom Harms, who has now logged two Reserves games since recovering from his knee injury.

Small forward Jack Penfold has also been named on the extended interchange bench, as a potential replacement for emerging midfielder Mitch Crowden, who has joined the McDonald’s SA U18 squad.

Originally from Brinkworth, Spalding, Redhill FC, Slade (19, 198cm and 88kg) is one of four inclusions to the Tigers’ 23-man squad.

EAGLES

Woodville-West Torrens co-captain Pat Giuffreda will again push to play his first game of the season against North on Saturday.

Originally from Paskeville on the Yorke Peninsula, Westbrook is a 20-year-old cousin of 2006 premiership player David Westbrook.

Collecting 22 disposals in the Reserves last round, Davis is one of three players included in the Panthers’ 23-man squad.

Utility Joe Haines – who finished with an incredible 44 disposals, nine tackles and nine marks in the Reserves against Sturt – has also been joined by potential debutant Jordan Taylor (23, 191cm and 86kg)

Port Adelaide has regained more talent with the inclusion of two AFL-listed players for the match against South on Sunday.

[Pseudo]

West v Central ought to be better than their (pure) winless form suggests. Westies had a red hot dip last week; there's nothing wrong with their effort and they're ripe for a win. Were it not for a few significant outs I'd even have them as favourites at home.

I reckon Sturt is back; will beat Norwood at home. Shame this one is not on the box.

Eagles to notch up a lazy 10 goal win over the red and white training cones.

[Wedgie]

10 goals is generous, be closer to 20.

[saintal]

With the coveted Andrew Ainger Cup no longer in circulation, perhaps it’s time for the introduction of the Brett Eddy Cup. Saw the great man watching his former side last Sunday with some ex-teammates. Will be interesting to see how he goes.

South to beat the pro$ by a kick in front of a modest audience. A returning Abe Davis to kick the match winner.

The Brett Eddy Cup would be fitting. Could be an interesting game. South to respond and Port motoring along nicely as you would expect given the available talent. Summerton unlikely to play too, for the second time this season.

Toumpas one of 5 named on the bench, he played last night as a late replacement for Amon. Summo will play.

[norwood8]

Sturt making us look like slow amateur footballers, their ball movement has been brilliant. A few outs for us but no excuse for the performance so far.

Unley is seriously unable to cope with any serious crowd, poorly organised and poorly run. Can't stand here, can't sit there etc
